Glass properties: compilation, evaluation, and prediction

To test the validity of glass structural models and predictive potential of these models it is necessary to have reliable composition dependencies of glass properties. Usually, the most reliable dependencies can be obtained only on the basis of statistical processing of all available information on a selected property and glass-forming system. For this purpose the use of a state-of-the-art glass property database is highly advisable. In the paper several examples of the analysis of property-composition dependencies for binary glasses are described.
