Glass-ceramic glazes for ceramic tiles – a review

Glass-ceramics are ceramic materials produced through controlled crystallisation (nucleation and crystal growth) of a parent glass. The great variety of compositions and the possibility of developing special microstructures with specific technological properties have allowed glass-ceramic materials...
