Modern Glass Characterization

The last two decades have brought forth great improvements in many glass characterization techniques, creating a growing need for an up-to-date reference. Providing a timely overview to the field,Modern Glass Characterization covers the recent improvements in glass characterization techniques/instrumentation, complemented by case studies and a discussion of future innovations in the field. Each chapter, written by a renowned expert in the field, focuses on a particular characterization technique as applied to glass. The level of the chapters make it suitable for researchers and for graduate students.

Mario Affatigato, PhD,is currently Professor of Physics at Coe College, Iowa. Prof. Affatigato's research interests include optical properties of glasses and the relationship between those properties and the structure of the glass. He was awarded the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers in 1999, and the Faculty Member Prize for Research in an Undergraduate Institution in 2013 by the American Physical Society. He has published over 80 papers in refereed journals.
