C. Austen Angell has been a great inspiration for liquid and glass scientists including myself.
He was a close collaborator of mine on glass dynamics and thermodynamics, particularly on …

This paper presents a study of the influence of basalt rocks' phase composition, acidity
modulus, and structural parameter NBO/T on the tensile strength and elastic modulus of …

The structure and properties of the glass can be modified by introducing appropriate
additives. Dolomite is one of the primary raw materials modifying the properties of glass, in …

Mineral wool materials are consistently preferred material to be used for building thermal
insulation because of their low heat conductivity, making energy-efficient structures …

Herein, we systematically study the crystallization behaviors and critical nucleation rates
(qc*) of mixed alkaline earth basalt glasses and melts. Based on the change of Raman …

Rock wool board (RWB) is widely used in construction of exterior insulation worldwide. Fiber
diameter, solid volume fraction (SVF), and contact degree among the fibers significantly …

The development of nanofibers is expected to foster the creation of outstanding lightweight
nanocomposites and flexible and transparent composites for applications such as …

Stone wool is a sustainable, fire-safe insulation material, and its fire-safety depends on its
high-temperature stability (HTS). It is known that the HTS of stone wool fibres can be …

Fiber glass products of various compositions and forms offer a wide range of possibilities as
reinforcements for plastic composite materials. Fiber glass has distinct characteristics over …

Network structures of glasses and glass fibers are tailored by glass designers using various
combinations of oxides or raw materials to achieve desirable properties for specific …
