Living Glass Surfaces XII

Summary

The LIVING GLASS SURFACES XII workshop was part of the 60th Ilmenau Scientific Colloquium (ISC) which was held on the campus of TU Ilmenau from September 4 - 8, 2023. The aim of the workshop was to stay informed on the current developments of glass surfaces and focus on maximizing the sustainability aspects of glass usage.

The workshop featured insightful presentations and posters from experts of glass research and covered the following topics:

  • Glass surfaces and properties: surface polishing, layer solidification, alteration of fiber glasses and increase of glass elasticity.
  • Sustainability: footprint of glass polishing and waste reduction, sustainable manufacture of optical components, solar cells film optimization and efficient usage concepts of quartz glass.
  • Porous glass: enhanced hydrothermal stability and improved ionic conductivity.
     

We established valuable connections between institutes and students during the networking session.

This workshop had an important role in directing glass research efforts toward addressing current challenges and promoting a more sustainable future.

Living Glass Surfaces XII - The green focus of Glass Research

(06-07 September 2023, Ilmenau Germany)

Welcome to the Living Glass Surfaces XII, a gathering of professionals and enthusiasts interested in exploring the latest trends and advancements in the world of glass. Our conference workshop will focus on current solutions to the challenges facing the glass research and industry. We will explore new processes that can enhance glass performance and durability, as well as reduce costs and environmental impact. We will also highlight innovative ways to design glass products that meet the changing needs of consumers and businesses.

We welcome abstracts on a wide range of topics related to glass, including but not limited to:

  • Glass surfaces: coatings, treatments, and functionalization
  • Sustainability: eco-friendly manufacturing practices, recycling, and waste reduction
  • Glass problems: breakage, cracking, and distortion, and their causes and solutions
  • Innovative glass design: new products, shapes, and forms
  • Glass properties: optical, mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties

     

Deadline for submission: 31. May 2023

Whether you're a researcher, industry professional, or simply interested in the latest developments in glass technology please join us for a stimulating and insightful workshop that will showcase the cutting-edge of glass research and technology.

Please note that this year LGS workshop is a part of the 60th Ilmenau Scientific Colloquium (ISC) which will be held on the campus of TU Ilmenau from September 4 - 8, 2023.

We encourage everyone interested on the topic to contribute with their knowledge and expertise. Authors are requested to send the title and a half page abstract in German or English to gentiana.strugaj@tu-ilmenau.de.
