Summary

The subject presents fundamental principles and technological advancement of preparing industrial glass, glass-ceramic and traditional ceramics. Attention is paid to principles of formation glass structure, processes taking place in molten glass and methods of production traditional ceramic materials include methods of their surface modification. The connections between choice of processing and properties of products are mentioned.
