Abstract

Glass-ceramics are produced by crystallizing a glass to produce a polycrystalline material. They have considerable potential as the matrices of composites due to their relatively low processing temperatures compared with those required for engineering ceramic matrices. Results of investigations on both fibre- and particulate-reinforced glass-ceramics are presented with particular emphasis on mechanical performance. As well as discussing strength and toughness, more complex properties such as ballistic resistance and thermal shock are covered where appropriate.
