26th International Congress on Glass

26th International Congress on Glass / July 03, 2022 - July 08, 2022, 09:00 - 16:00 Uhr

ICG 2022

To mark the 100th anniversary of the founding of the DGG, the 26th International Congress on Glass (ICG) will be held in Berlin this year.

The ICG 2022 offers plenary sessions as well as 45 technical sessions grouped into 8 symposia. As a special opportunity for glass scientists and technologists, the 13th International Congress on Advances in Melting Technology and Processing of Glass (AFPG2022) is attached to the congress in its anniversary year.

At the congress, a team of experts from Fraunhofer ISC will present current research activities on topics including glass screening, thermo-optical measuring technology, bioactive glasses, multicomponent glass ceramics and structural investigations on lithium silicate glass ceramics.

Presentations by ISC scientists

Crystal structure determination of a new LaPO₄ phase in a multicomponent glass ceramic via 3D electron diffraction (Philipp Gollé-Leidreiter)	In this talk it will be shown how modern electron diffraction methods can be used to characterize the crystal structure of nanometer-sized crystallites in glass-ceramics can be characterized and thereby the crystallization of of glasses can be better understood.
Structural studies on high zirconia containing lithium silicate glass-ceramics (Dr. Bernhard Durschang)	Lithium silicate glass-ceramic systems are characterized, among other things, by the fact that very large amounts of zirconia can be introduced into the starting glass without it crystallizing out. In this presentation, it will be shown that amorphous phases can be produced in which up to 40% by weight of zirconia is present. This opens up completely new applications for this glass ceramic system.
Optical detection of Glass-properties as a function of temperature in-situ using the versatile Thermo-Optical Measuring technique TOM (Dr. Andreas Diegeler)	By means of thermo-optical measuring systems (TOM), a variety of material properties can be investigated in-situ. In particular, new detection methods (mass spectroscopy, ultrasound) are used during the sintering or firing of glasses to determine and better understand further material properties.
Glass screening for the systematic development of new glasses (Dr. Martin Kilo)	A glass screening system has been developed at Fraunhofer ISC for the development of glasses. In this presentation, ongoing work on the transfer to glass ceramics or enamels as well as further developments will be presented.

Poster contributions of the ISC scientists

In vivo evaluation of pre-set aluminium free bioactive glass based scaffolds in a critical sized defect rabbit calvarial model

(Dr. Altair-Teresa Contreras Jaimes)

The poster will present a joint project between the University of Sheffield and the University of Sao Paulo to histologically evaluate an aluminum-free bioactive glass-based granule used as a biomaterial for bone regeneration.
