PGL 2018

The opportunity of meeting of the scientists and technologists working in the field of physics,
technology and application of porous and special glasses.

about the seminar

    The Seminar “Porous Glasses-Special Glasses” PGL’2018 is the eleventh conference of this series and follows similar meetings which were being held in the mountain resorts of Southern Poland.
    The PGL Seminar is dedicated to novel problems porous glasses and special glasses technology, properties, characterization and application.
    Porous glasses, materials known for decades have in the last years again attracted extensive attention by both Industry and Academy researches and are the subject of intensive study. This is connected both with advances in technology and the new challenging applications. Production of glass with different structure parameters (pore size, surface area, volume of pores) and impregnation of porous glasses with different substances are the tools to obtain porous glasses with desired properties. The goal of the PGL’2018 Seminar is to discuss possibility of porous glass for application as materials for different new types of sensors, memories, solar concentrators.
    The results of study of new special glasses: fluoride, phosphate, tellurite, and borate glasses are also within the scope of the Seminar. In particular, optical and electrical properties of glasses doped with different compounds (rare earth ions, metals) and their application will be extensively discussed, new methods of investigations of glass structure reviewed. These glasses exhibit interesting spectroscopic properties and can find application in the fields of laser, white LEDs, telecommunication technology and display devices.
