GlassIt is well known that glasses play an important role as one of building materials ordinary living products. Advanced and specialty glasses also play important roles in several industries. In the last several years, these materialshave continued to find new applications in the areas of telecommunications, electronics, and biomedical uses. Glass compositions and processing techniques continue to evolve to suit the increasing number of applications. Some of the glass compositions have distinctive properties that make them the most preferred materials for certain applications, such as optical fibers, electronic displays, biocompatible implants, dental posterior materials, and high-performance composites.众所周知，玻璃作为建筑材料普通生活产品之一起着重要的作用。先进和特种玻璃也在许多行业也起着重要作用。在过去几年中，这些材料继续在电讯，电子，生物医学领域发现新的应用。为适应日益剧增的应用，玻璃的组分和加工技术不断发展。一些玻璃成分具有独特的性质，使得它们成为某些应用中最优选的材料，例如光纤，电子显示器，生物相容性植入物，后牙材料和高性能复合材料。A number of ceramic processes have been successfully applied in glass processing to make advanced glasses. These include sintering of premelted and pulverized glass, sintering of premelted chemically treated glasses, sol-gel technology, and vapor phase deposition. Glass ceramics with complicated shapes can be produced by the sintering of glass powders, similar to a ceramic sintering process, and then applying additional heat treatment to form ceramic crystals. Novel processes continue to be developed.已经有许多陶瓷工艺成功应用于玻璃加工中来制作先进玻璃，包括预熔玻璃粉末烧结，化学处理预熔玻璃烧结，溶胶-凝胶技术以及气相沉积。具有复杂形状的玻璃陶瓷可以通过类似于陶瓷烧结工艺对玻璃粉末进行烧结来制造，然后再进行额外的热处理以形成陶瓷晶体。新工艺在继续发展。The emergence of these advanced glasses has significantly changed several major industries, including thetelecommunications industry where fiber optic cables revolutionized the technology of transmitting information.Other areas where advanced and specialty glasses and glass ceramics find increasing usage are electronicsapplications, such as electronic displays, substrates for packaging and data storage, and photoblanks for lithography.这些先进玻璃的出现极大地改变了几个主要行业，其中包括电信业，光纤光缆彻底改变了
