Glass is amorphous in nature—its atomic structure does not involve the repetitive arrangement seen in crystalline materials. But occasionally, it undergoes a process called devitrification, which is ...

Researchers have obtained new insights into the process of crystallization in glasses that can lead to a loss of transparency and mechanical strength. The researchers are the first to relate the ...

Curing of an epoxy resin causes the resin molecules to react and form a highly crosslinked network. In case the epoxy resin is heated at a considerably high rate momentary sample temperature will be ...

A team of Indian researchers has demystified devitrification, which is the transformation of glass into a crystal, and visualised the process for the first time in experiments, the Indian Institute of ...

Scientists from The University of Tokyo Institute of Industrial Science used computer simulations to study the aging mechanism that can cause an amorphous glassy material to turn into a crystal. They ...
