Abstract
Current and potential glass research under microgravity includes studies of minimum cooling rate, homogeneous nucleation, diffusion, surface tension and enrichment, fining without buoyancy, avoidance of liquid phase separation, gel synthesis, composites and uniform micro balloons. The experiments do not just anticipate space fabrication but will also provide information and innovation encouraging advanced processing on earth. © 1986.
