What are the Glass Ceramics?

** Glass-ceramics are polycrystalline material made

silicon oxide founded systems with or without

phosphorous pentoxide.

** Glass ceramics were first utilized in 

photosensitive crystal, in which little allowances of 

copper, shiny, and gold are precipitated by 

ultraviolet lightweightweight irradiation.
