The emergence of synthetic ceramics as a prominent class of materials with a unique combination of properties has been an important part of the materialsscience scene over the past 20 years. These 'hightechnology' ceramics have varied applications in areas utilizing their exceptional mechanical, thermal, optical, magnetic or electronic properties. A notable development of the 1970s was that of 'Sibased' ceramics (Si3N4' SiC and 'Sialons') as hightemperature engineering solids. More recently the zirconiabased ceramics have evolved as a class of material with significant improvements in fracturetoughness. In the 1980s we are on the threshold of development of ceramicmatrix composites with the promise of over coming major limitations in engineering design with 'brittle' ceramics and the development of novel properties unattainable with monolithic micro structures. Throughout this period there have been significant but less wellpublicized developments in the field of glassceramics and glasses. It is the purpose of this publication to review selected topics within this important area of materials science. A key element in understanding the relation between properties and microstructure is a knowledge of atomic arrangement in ceramic phases. Recent developments in NMR and Xray absorption spectroscopies have had considerable impact on studies of atomic coordination in glasses and crystalline ceramic materials and are reviewed in Chapters 1 and 2. Glassceramics are derived from the parent glasses by controlled crystal lization and have properties dictated, in part, by the efficiency of crystal nucleation within the glass volume.
