The magazine «Glass and Ceramics» for February 2021 was out of print

The 2nd issue of the monthly scientific and technical journal "Glass and Ceramics" for 2021 has been published.

Contents of the February issue:

- Strengthening of glass composite with multilayer carbon nanotubes aligned with a constant electric field.

The effect of the electric field intensity and the percentage of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MCNTs) on the strength of a composite consisting of unidirectional glass fibers was studied. The results of tests of annular samples made by the winding method for different contents of MWCNTs in the composite and at different values of the electric field intensity are presented. Based on the test results, strength curves were constructed and a formula for the dependence of the strength of the composite on the intensity of the electric field and the percentage of MCNTs was obtained.

- Fly ash as a technogenic raw material for the production of refractory and insulating ceramic materials.

A review of the literature on the production of fly ash at thermal power plants and the level of its processing in Russia and abroad is presented. The properties of fly ash and its fields of application are described. The use of fly ash in the production technology of refractory and heat-insulating ceramic materials as a source of aluminum and silicon oxides for the manufacture of refractory products based on mullite, cordierite or forsterite-spinel composition is considered in more detail.

- Technological aspects of the use of glass melt granulators in the production of various glass products.

Various designs of molten glass granulators used in the production of glass containers and other glass products are considered. The main advantages and disadvantages of such equipment installed in the lines of utilization and recycling of cullet are stated.
