Abstract
The system Na2O-CaO-SiO2 is of great importance for the manufacture of glass and glass-ceramics. It covers several glass applications, from window and packaging to biomaterials. In general, compositions containing relatively large proportions of SiO2 easily form glass. However, as the concentration of calcium and sodium increases, the glass forming ability deteriorates. From the point of …
