Fundamentals of Glass Science & Technology
Saturday and Sunday, October 11–12
9:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. | 9:00 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.
Instructor: Arun K. Varshneya, Professor of Glass Science &
Engineering, Alfred University
Basic glass science and technology is covered to broaden or improve
understanding of glass as a material of choice. This one and a
half day course covers glass science (commercial glass families, glassy
state, nucleation and crystallization, phase separation, glass structure);
glass technology and batch calculations; glass melting and forming;
glass properties such as density, hardness, viscosity, thermal expansion
coefficient, chemical durability, and engineering principles such as
annealing, strength
