Non-Cryst. Solids 501 3-10 (2018) doi:10.1016/j.jnoncrysol.2018.01.033
Glass-ceramics are noted for their unusual combination of
properties and manifold commercialized products for consumer and
specialized markets. Evolution of novel glass and ceramic processing
routes, a plethora of new compositions, and novel exotic nano- and
microstructures over the past 60 years led us to review the definition of
glass-ceramics. Well-established and emerging processing methods, such as
co-firing, additive manufacturing, and laser patterning are analyzed with
respect to the core requirements of processing glass-ceramics and the
performance of the final products. In this communication, we propose a
revised, updated definition of glass-ceramics, which reads "Glassceramics
are inorganic, non-metallic materials prepared by controlled
crystallization of glasses via different processing methods. They contain
at least one type of functional crystalline phase and a residual glass.
The volume fraction crystallized may vary from ppm to almost 100%
