Scientific expert workshop "Glass surfaces and stress corrosion mechanisms at the nanoscale" held in Montpellier
As part of an EU-funded project (EFONGA), the International Commission on Glass (ICG) organized a scientific workshop on "glass surfaces and stress corrosion mechanisms at the nanoscale" in Montpellier, France, from February 22 - 25, 2009. Fifteen international experts on specialized topics pertaining to surface or strength items in the field of glass were invited to attend. The objective of the meeting was to review the scientific state of the art, identify the deficits and thus create a roadmap for future work. According to Dr. Volker Rupertus, one of the Chairmen of the appropriate Technical Committees of the ICG, "It is extremely important to have a clear understanding of the mechanism behind stress corrosion in the nm-range. Unlike metals, semiconductors and other materials, glass behaves completely differently with respect to strength and corrosion."
