[Preface] Microcrystalline glass has been around for nearly 50 years, and the application fields of this superior-performance new material have seen astonishing growth over these five decades. In recent years, with the rapid industrialization of microcrystalline glass, its applications have expanded from military defense, aerospace, optical devices, and the electronics industry to daily life. China ranks among the world's leading producers of decorative microcrystalline glass, but there are currently few books that systematically discuss microcrystalline glass. To enable researchers, production technicians, and students from universities and colleges to fully understand the composition, structure, properties, production processes, industrial equipment, quality control, application technologies, and domestic and international research trends and technological development directions of microcrystalline glass, the authors have compiled this book based on extensive review of domestic and international literature and their own 20-plus years of teaching and research experience. The content is comprehensive, easy to understand, theory is closely linked to practice, and it thoroughly elaborates on the theoretical knowledge of microcrystalline glass, provides a detailed introduction to the new processes, technologies, and products in the field of microcrystalline glass, and fully reflects the latest achievements in domestic and international research in this field, demonstrating strong practicality. The book is divided into 7 chapters. Chapter 1 provides a comprehensive review of the definition, types, development history, preparation processes, and current applications and future prospects of microcrystalline glass. Chapters 2 to 6 respectively offer in-depth and systematic discussions on the composition, structure, properties, and applications of microcrystalline glass. Chapter 7 provides a detailed introduction to the domestic and international research trends and development directions in the field of microcrystalline glass.
