History

Established in 1916, the Society of Glass Technology is a non-profit making organisation serving a worldwide membership bringing together the research of academics throughout the world and the needs of glass manufacturers and artists, to encourage the cross fertilisation, and practical application, of ideas for the benefit of the whole glass community. We publish journals and text books; organise meetings, symposia and conferences on glass related topics; coordinate the activities of special interest groups and technical committees; and provide a communication framework geared to the needs of the glass community.

Publications

The SGT publishes two highly respected bi-monthly Journals: European Journal of Science and Technology Part A Glass Technology and Part B Physics and Chemistry.
Have a look at the links.

We also publishes historical works and monographs. Students may be interested in the well respected text books that include : Fundamentals of Inorganic Glasses; Ceramics and Glass- A Basic Technology; Glass to Metal Seals; Coloured Glasses; Stones and Cord; Basic Optical Stress. Visit these on our Book page.

Essential reading

To save you time we have selected a couple of books that we class as essential reading for students. They will make a dint in your student loan though. But you could add to your wish list and maybe Santa or a parent might be good to you?

Fundamentals of Inorganic Glasses
and
Introduction to Glass Science and Technology

Want to Join?

If you would like to become a member of the Society we do have Student membership available. Student membership is in electronic form, this is cheaper than normal membership which means you've still got enough cash to go to the pub. ( You can choose paper journals if you wish at an extra cost)
