Production program:

Department of Glass and Ceramics as one of the largest departments of the Faculty of Chemical Technology at the Institute of Chemical Technology in Prague offers BSc, MSc and PhD programmes in the field of chemistry and technology of inorganic non-metallic materials.

Research concerns in particular:
Development of new types of glass and ceramics - biomaterials, construction ceramics, glasses for waste immobilization, lead-free crystal glass and fast ion conducting glasses; Refractory fibrous composites with a cement binder; High-strength gypsum-free cements for refractory purposes; Transport and colloid-chemical phenomena in ceramic technologies; Physical and mathematical modelling of glass melting processes and furnaces; Reactivity and evaporation of silicate melts; Chemical durability of glasses, mathematical modelling of glass corrosion; New applications of electron microscopy and micro-analytical methods for the assessment of inorganic materials and for the analysis of solid surfaces; Modelling of glass structure.
