Dental glass-ceramics (DGCs) are developed by controlled crystallization of oxide glasses
and form an important group of biomaterials used in modern dentistry. They are also of great …

The discovery of bioactive glasses (BGs) in the late 1960s by Larry Hench et al. was driven
by the need for implant materials with an ability to bond to living tissues, which were …

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) have emerged as energy conversion devices in achieving high
efficiency of over 70% with regeneration. The critical components of SOFC include anode …

Transparent glass ceramics (TGCs) with minimized scattering loss offer the combined
characteristics of both glasses and (transparent) ceramics. The functionalities of the …
