This book investigates the effect of sintering temperature on willemite based glass-ceramic doped with different content of Er2O3. It is the first to report research on producing willemite by using waste materials and using trivalent erbium (Er3+) as a dopant. This book provides a survey of the literature on glass and glass-ceramic, while comprehensive experiments and analysis have been performed on the material used.
