Glass Ceramics Market Scope
Glass-ceramics are created by intentionally crystallizing base glass in a controlled manner, leading to the formation of a homogeneous distribution of fine crystals within the entire material. This crystallization process involves subjecting suitable glasses to a precisely regulated schedule of heat treatment, which promotes the initiation and expansion of crystal phases. Initially designed for mirrors and mirror mounts in astronomical telescopes, LAS glass-ceramics have gained recognition and made their way into the consumer market through their utilization in glass-ceramic cooktops, as well as cookware and bakeware, and as superior reflectors in digital projectors. Glass ceramics find application in the medical field because of their distinctive interaction, or absence of interaction, with human body tissue. Increasing investments in research and development activities focused on glass ceramics are being made by governments, research institutions, and private companies. These investments are fostering innovation, resulting in the emergence of novel glass-ceramic compositions and advanced processing techniques, thereby expanding the market's potential.
