Theoretical Estimation of Glass Properties

Abstract

The theoretical estimation of glass properties is very important for glass scientists, students, and workers to predict glass properties of interest and glass behavior under certain conditions before carrying out the experimental investigation. The estimation of properties saves time, material, financial, and environmental resources during the experimental work. It enables us to more or less predict or estimate the desired value of the property.
