Missouri S&T proposes to develop an understanding of the microstructural evolution of the complex borosilicate glass ceramics and will apply this understanding to predict the effects of compositional modifications on microstructural development and glass-ceramic properties to help engineer optimized waste-loaded glass-ceramic materials. The two main components of the research are 1) mechanistic description of the formation and growth of chemically stable crystals in borosilicate melts and 2) Effects of composition on microstructural development and properties.
