In industrial glass: Phase separation
…of phase separation exist, the nucleated droplet and the spinodal; the microstructures produced by these two mechanisms, as revealed by electron microscopy, are shown in Figure 4. In Figure 4A the interface between the droplets and the matrix is sharp, owing to a sharp change in composition. With time the…

In industrial glass: Glass ceramics
…glass melt either by the droplet phase-separation mechanism or by the addition of nucleating agents such as titania, zirconia, and phosphorus pentoxide. After nucleation is carried out for a predetermined time, the crystals are allowed to grow to maturity at an elevated temperature.
