Glass crystal materials in the structure of modern material science

The growth rates of the production of modern technical materials of various classes are indicated. The main reasons for the predominant development of new, including glass-crystalline, materials are considered. The main attention is paid to the possibilities and features of the use of glass-crystalline materials of various types (heat-resistant high-strength, transparent nanostructured, electrically active, bioactive, construction) in promising areas of modern technology, industry, construction, medicine. The properties of these types of glass-crystalline materials are given. Tab. 1.
