Annotation -
The course introduces students to fundamentals of glass, glass-ceramics and ceramics technology and to typical properties of these materials. It shows basic models of mechanisms and kinetics of interaction of glass and glass-ceramic materials with aqueous solutions and body fluids. The course also introduces students to principles of development of materials for medicine and pharmaceutical industry and to testing of their functional properties.
