Conclusion and Future Research in the Glass-Ceramic Field

This book has focused on the effect of the sintering temperature on willemite-based glass ceramic doped with different percentages of Er2O3. The willemite-based glass ceramic was prepared using waste soda lime silicate (SLS) glass and ZnO. Er2O3 was used as a rare earth, in different percentages, to dope the willemite, and the prepared samples were sintered at a temperature of 500–1100 °C. Finally, 35 samples were prepared.
