64th Conference on Glass Problems [Paperback]

On October 28-29, 2003, the 64th Conference on Glass Problems took place on the campus of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. This conference encompassed four topic sessions: Refractories chaired by Daryl E. Clendenen and Thomas Dankert; Energy and Combustion, chaired by Marilyn DeLong and Philip Ross; Process Control, chaired by Ruud Berkens and Robert Lowhorn; and Emerging Areas, chaired by Larry McCloskey and Robert Thomas.

The papers presented at the conference were reviewed by the respective session chairs, and underwent minor editing by the conference director, before further editing and production by The American Ceramic Society.
