Aims

Technology of silicates is a chemical technology, using thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, high temperature synthesis and solid stste reactions, which control transport processes of matter or heat to the phase boundary. Gained knowledge shall show the importance of theoretical instruments for creative work and solving of problems in the field of thermomechanical and thermochemical phenomenons.
