Glasses, which are materials that have random atomic configurations, are at the forefront of materials research. At the same time, they are essential and creative materials in the fields of energy, environment, and health. Silicon dioxide is the main ingredient for glass products, solar panels and electronic chips. These glass-based materials have been attractive for multiple applications for a long time, but new cutting-edge innovations have changed the way that glass-based materials are being used to create a more sustainable society. This book will cover the fundamental properties of glass and glass-based materials and will explore their applications in areas of energy, environment and health. The aim of the book is to guide researchers in the R&D of glass-based materials for various applications.
