Abstract

The properties of glass and ceramic materials are largely determined by the types and distribution of bonds in the network structure. Since conventional methods of forming these materials by melting or sintering do not allow significant variations from the equilibrium conditions, the properties of these materials are generally fixed by the chemical composition and crystalline structure. Synthesis of these materials by chemical polymerization at low temperatures, on the other hand, permits significant modifications to the ultrastructure. These structural modifications in turn modify the material properties, without compositional alterations. In this presentation, further studies of structure-modifying parameters are discussed.
