Abstract

Investigation of glasses and glass crystalline composite materials occupies a special place in modern science. Their use in new materials enables innovative and breakthrough technologies in industry, electronics, and other areas of human activity. Understanding the nature of glass and the properties of glass-based materials is a key task in fundamental science, presenting great value for different applications, including glass processing, development of flexible glasses, and concrete reinforcement. The research presented in this special issue, focusing on new glass-based materials and relaxation processes in condensed matter, is interdisciplinary and has great practical significance.
