Abstract
Examples are given of the use of nanodispersed forms of silica in making refractory and high-porosity (thermal insulation) materials. There is a discussion of the use of finely divided silica materials and wet grinding in the technologies of glass and glass ceramics. Conditions are formulated for wet grinding to reduce the grain size of hydrating materials. Prospects are considered for using technologies based on finely divided silica in making many silicate and oxide materials.
