Korányi György: Surface properties of silicate glasses (Budapest, 1963)

SURFACE PROPERTIES OF SILICATE GLASSES . by GYÖRGY KORÁNYI D. Eng. Surface effects of dif­ferent materials have been thoroughly investi­gated in recent times by scientists in various fields of research. At the same time the use of glass has been extended in science and in everyday life. The author of this work wish­es to survey the research done so far on the prop­erties of glass surfaces. Extraordinary chemi­cal resistance, hardness and advantageous me­chanical properties char­acterize silicate glasses as construction materials. The surfaces of glass­es however do not be­have inertly with various contacting materials of microscopic and submi­­croscopic size; different reactions and changes are caused by solids, liquids and gases. All these processes are de­scribed in a very clear and effective manner, with due regard to the literature and to the re-
