Possible variants of the schemes for the dosed supply of the charge and breakage into the glass-making furnace are presented. The features of the use of discrete and continuous strain gauge weighing batchers for cullet produced by Stromizmeritel CJSC are considered. Il. 1, bibliography: 1 titles.

Information on modern glass compositions used for the production of continuous glass fiber in Russia and abroad is presented. The main physical and chemical properties of glass fibers and their areas of application are considered. Tab. 3, bibliography: 21 titles.

An analytical approach to determining the impact strength of laminated glass is considered. A method is proposed to reduce material consumption, energy consumption and the cost of a package through the use of glass with induced surface stresses. Tab. 2, ill. 2, bibliography: 4 titles.

Based on the analysis of patent information, scientific and technical literature and developments of the Saratov Institute of Glass, the influence of the gas environment on the physical and chemical processes of forming float glass was determined. Techniques for regulating physicochemical conditions in the melt bath are considered. The possibilities of purposefully changing the composition and properties of the float glass surface by exposure to a gaseous medium are shown. Il. 1, bibliography: 4 titles.

Using EPR, it was found that the main centers of accumulation of negative charge are electrically active phosphoric acid radical ions PO ₃ of the electronic type. Most of the studied phosphate glasses are capable of accumulating such a charge. However, the most effective of the alkaline earth modifiers is magnesium. The results obtained make it possible with a high degree of reliability to design the compositions and technology of inorganic glasses with a given set of operational properties. Tab. 1, ill. 2, bibliography: 17 titles.

The results of studies on plasma spraying of glass from rods onto high-quality dishes are presented. It is shown that in the process of decorative plasma treatment, a coating with good consumer properties is formed. Tab. 3, ill. 1, bibliography: 4 titles.

Methods for the synthesis of cobalt-containing spinels of various compositions have been proposed, the use of which for the production of ceramic paints makes it possible to eliminate a number of defects, in particular, a defect in the metallization of the surface of ceramic products, and to ensure the stability of the properties of the final product. Tab. 6, bibliography: 9 titles.

Mineralogical characteristics of alkaline kaolin deposits in the Ural region are presented. An assumption is made about the possibility of their application for the production of fine ceramics.

The results of the synthesis of aventurine iron-containing fusible glazes are presented, the mechanism of their phase formation is considered, the optimal modes of heat treatment are determined. Il. 3, bibliography: 5 titles.
