| Abstract Scope |
After more than three millennia of glassmaking, glasses are still not often considered as energy materials for a sustainable development.
Due to their peculiar properties, they can be designed with a wide range of compositions and obtained with suitable thermal, chemical and mechanical properties to fit the application requests.
This talk will show research done at Politecnico di Torino, Italy, on design, preparation and thermo-mechanical characterization of new glasses and glass-ceramics as coatings for thermo-electrics and sealants for solid oxide cells.
Glasses can be also obtained by vitrification of municipal solid waste incinerator ashes, then used as supplementary cementitious materials or to obtain added value products by embedding in them other industrial waste or by foaming them to obtain porous glasses. |
