|
The research activity performed at the SSV leads to the production of 20-30 papers per year, published in national and international journals
The most recent topics presently being developed are as follows:
|
- testing of analytical methods for the certification of Standard Reference Materials;
- chemical behaviour of lead crystal glass in contact with food and beverages;
- studies of ancient glass composition, glassmaking technology and corrosion mechanisms;
- physico-chemical characterization of industrial glass surfaces and their reactivity;
- lass surface studies in relation to mechanical strength;
- evaluation of the mechanical behaviour of glass containers by production process analysis;
- studies of glass homogeneity and workability: dissolved water and redox, microstructure, phase separation, molecular structures, layers with different chemical compositions, thermo radiative properties, surface chemical composition gradient;
- development of optical methods for emissivity analysis;
- development of calculation programs for the evaluation of solar energy and heat losses of glazings, natural daylight, etc.;
- optical characterization of innovative and multifunctional glazings;
- melting process optimization;
- design, building and industrial testing of a prototype electric furnace with molybdenum electrodes for the artistic glass industry;
- formulation of low-polluting batch compositions;
- recycling, neutralization and vitrification of asbestos, toxic solid wastes, ashes from municipal solid waste incineration, industrial slags, etc.,in order to obtain secondary raw materials or finished products;
- industrial testing of oxycombustion on discontinuous furnaces;
- scintillating glass;
