Abstract

The key variables in the design of a medical glass-ceramic are glass composition, phase assemblage, and the crystalline microstructure, which are the driving factor for the different properties. The phase assemblage (the types of crystals and the proportion of crystals to glass in the glass-ceramic) is responsible for almost all of the physical and chemical properties, including the functional, microstructural, thermal, mechanical, and chemical characteristics.
