ISBN : 9780962440403
Book Description
This is a new book designed as a "how to" manual for the beginner. The material (glass) is introduced first with its history, composition & sources. All the equipment & tools, required to work glass, are described in detail. The fundamental procedures are defined & clearly illustrated with ample practice exercises. The instruction of these procedures is reinforced with a ten lesson course arranged in progression. The experienced glassblower may want to use this format to train apprentices. There are step by step procedures for making over 65 different items. Preliminary techniques for making larger sculptures are described & profiles of some well known glass sculptors with examples of their work. Another example of the diversity of glassblowing is demonstrated in the story of Gerhard Finkenbeiner & his innovative developments to the Glass Harmonica. The section on blown glass tubing describes how the fundamental procedures areoften working with tubing. The instructions include a number of blown items including several Christmas ornaments. There are directions to show fifteen ways to decorate glass surfaces including glue chipping & the chemical silvering of glass. Where & how to market your glass items is also revealed. There is a complete directory of where to obtain equipment & supplies.

Introduction to Glass Science and Technology
Author : James E Shelby
Publisher : Royal Society of Chemistry
Page : 320 pages
File Size : 35,82 MB
Release : 2015-11-06
Category : Technology & Engineering
ISBN : 1782625119
Book Description
This book provides a concise and inexpensive introduction for an undergraduate course in glass science and technology. The level of the book has deliberately been maintained at the introductory level to avoid confusion of the student by inclusion of more advanced material, and is unique in that its text is limited to the amount suitable for a one term course for students in materials science, ceramics or inorganic chemistry. The contents cover the fundamental topics of importance in glass science and technology, including glass formation, crystallization, phase separation and structure of glasses. Additional chapters discuss the most important properties of glasses, including discussion of physical, optical, electrical, chemical and mechanical properties. A final chapter provides an introduction to a number of methods used to form technical glasses, including glass sheet, bottles, insulation fibre, optical fibres and other common commercial products. In addition, the book contains discussion of the effects of phase separation and crystallization on the properties of glasses, which is neglected in other texts. Although intended primarily as a textbook, Introduction to Glass Science and Technology will also be invaluable to the engineer or scientist who desires more knowledge regarding the formation, properties and production of glass.
Mould Making for Glass

Release : 2019-06-11
Category : Crafts & Hobbies
ISBN : 9781789940046
Book Description
Nearly all glass makers (unless they are blowing glass) need moulds which can go in the kiln, as part of the process of creating their work. Currently glass students and makers get their expertise and recipes from lots of different sources, picking out the relevant bits and pieces which they need from other glass and ceramic books. This book aims to introduce all the mould-making techniques for casting glass, with detailed information on materials, recipes for mould mixes, methods and applications. It helps the student to learn which methods are appropriate for different types of work, and covers all the basics of how to make your mould. It also includes practical information on sourcing, storing, using and recycling materials, and how to develop your own recipes and methods for particular projects. It also covers where to start with writing programmes for kiln firings including annealing and cooling. It also contains images from well-known artists working in cast glass throughout.

Book Description
Electrochemistry plays a key role in a broad range of research and applied areas including the exploration of new inorganic and organic compounds, biochemical and biological systems, corrosion, energy applications involving fuel cells and solar cells, and nanoscale investigations. The Handbook of Electrochemistry serves as a source of electrochemical information, providing details of experimental considerations, representative calculations, and illustrations of the possibilities available in electrochemical experimentation. The book is divided into five parts: Fundamentals, Laboratory Practical, Techniques, Applications, and Data. The first section covers the fundamentals of electrochemistry which are essential for everyone working in the field, presenting an overview of electrochemical conventions, terminology, fundamental equations, and electrochemical cells, experiments, literature, textbooks, and specialized books. Part 2 focuses on the different laboratory aspects of electrochemistry which is followed by a review of the various electrochemical techniques ranging from classical experiments to scanning electrochemical microscopy, electrogenerated chemiluminesence and spectroelectrochemistry. Applications of electrochemistry include electrode kinetic determinations, unique aspects of metal deposition, and electrochemistry in small places and at novel interfaces and these are detailed in Part 4. The remaining three chapters provide useful electrochemical data and information involving electrode potentials, diffusion coefficients, and methods used in measuring liquid junction potentials. * serves as a source of electrochemical information * includes useful electrochemical data and information involving electrode potentials, diffusion coefficients, and methods used in measuring liquid junction potentials * reviews electrochemical techniques (incl. scanning electrochemical microscopy, electrogenerated chemiluminesence and spectroelectrochemistry)
