About IJAGS

IJAGS publishes high-impact articles that broadly encompass experimental investigations and modeling of material characteristics aimed at specific applications, along with well-evidenced studies of product and process optimization and scale-up. IJAGS is of critical value to the work of scientists, engineers, educators, students, as well as organizations that study the manufacture and utilization of glass, glass-ceramics, and composite materials to take advantage of the unique properties and behaviors of the most adaptable material – glass. Read the complete Aims and Scopes.

IJAGS Editor-in-Chief Mario Affatigato holds the Fran Allison and Francis Halpin professorship in physics at Coe College He focuses on the relationship between the optical properties and structure of glassy materials and exotic manufacturing methods, using oxide glasses, especially vanadates, borates, and samples with heavy metals.  He is a fellow of the American Ceramic Society, and past chair of the Glass and Optical Materials Division.
