4. Structural and microstructural characterization

The following is a brief description of the main experimental techniques used to characterize glass-ceramics, and in particular the nucleation/growth phenomena that govern them. We won't go into detail here on the classic characterization techniques for accessing properties of use (mechanical, optical, thermal), but will focus on the microstructural aspect, which is closely linked to the macroscopic properties of glass-ceramics.

4.1 Structural characterization techniques

A wide range of constantly evolving characterization techniques can be used to observe, quantify and analyze the microstructure of glass-ceramics, from the atomic to the macroscopic scale. Choosing to use one of these methods requires prior identification of the type of information sought (image/morphology,...
