DESCRIPTION:
' comprehensive coverage of the subject and is well written and amply illustrated. It can be recommended unreservedly to those with interests in these materials.' Glass Technology'Timely and readable book which sucessfully bridges the gap between a textbook approach with fundamental definitions and a specialist text.' Asilib Book Guide
Other chapters are devoted to the methods of study, the structure of water and simple polyelectrolyte theory.. There has been a failure to recognize acid-base cements as a single, well-defined class of material. Following a brief historical overview, an introductory chapter defines these cements as materials that are formed by reacting a basic powder with an acidic liquid to yield a salt-like matrix. The nature of the cementation process and the cement-forming acids and bases are discussed. This book attempts to remedy this situation by unifying the subject and treating this range of materials as a single class
