Abstract:
In response to the requirements of the School of Materials Science and Engineering of Tongji University for the cultivation of the professional experiment course for the senior undergraduates of the Department of Inorganic Materials, a group of comprehensive experiments on the preparation, processing and performance test of glass materials are designed. Through the preparation, melting and processing of glass batch, the preparation technology of glass materials is mastered, the properties of chemical and thermal stability of the melting products are analyzed, and the testing method of the basic performance of glasses are obtained. This experiment, taking sea blue glass as an example, is conducted to learn the relevant technological processes and procedures of manufacturing glasses, and practice the entire process from glass composition design, raw material selection, formula calculation, glass batch preparation, glass melting, annealing glass to the testing of the physical and chemical properties. Through the experiment teaching, students can not only get basic training and improvement in the experimental skills, master the main process and basic methods of scientific experiments, but also sublimate their theoretical knowledge to improve the ability of analyzing and solving problems.
