The magazine "Glass and Ceramics" for October 2020 was out of print

The 10th issue of the monthly scientific and technical journal "Glass and Ceramics" for 2020 has been released.

Contents of the October issue:

- Laser recording of luminescent microregions with CdS quantum dots in silicate glass

The processes of femtosecond laser recording of luminescent microregions in silicate glass with a mass content of 0.5 to 4.0% of cadmium sulfide are investigated. The regularities of the change in the optical properties of microregions on the composition of the glass and the acting dose of laser radiation have been established.

- The use of large-capacity industrial waste for the production of glassy foams

An overview of research in the field of utilization of large-scale industrial waste in the production of granular and block foam materials is presented. The possibilities and prospects of obtaining materials with high technical and operational properties and reducing the load on the environment are shown.

- Use of alternative energy sources and glass waste in the glazing technology of ceramic tiles

A technology for glazing ceramic tiles has been developed using alternative energy sources and glass household waste. The effect of a plasma jet on the change in the chemical composition of materials for glazing ceramic tiles has been investigated. The experimentally obtained data on the operational properties of ceramic facing tiles are presented.

- Interaction of lead-silicate glasses with sodium hydroxide solutions

The effect of temperature and concentration of NaOH solutions on the processes of chemical dissolution of lead-silicate glasses used as base glasses in the manufacture of microchannel plates was studied. It is shown that for the studied solutions upon destruction of glasses С87-2 and С78-4, a linear dependence on the exposure time, concentration and temperature of the solution is observed. It is noted that for C87-2 glass the shape of the mass removal curve depends on temperature.
