Glass-Ceramic Materials on the Lithium Disilicate Basis: Achievements and Development Prospects
The current state of developments and the prospects of using glass-ceramics based on lithium disilicate were analyzed. The choice of R2O–RO–RO2–R2O3–P2O5–SiO2 system for model glasses was justified. The structure of glasses after heat treatment in connection with their physico-chemical properties was studied. The developed lithiumsilicate glass-ceramic materials were characterized by high performance properties and can be used as transparent armor.
