The aim is to inform students with principal steps of silicate construction materials production technology, i.e. especially binders, ceramics, melting rocks, including thermal and noise insulations, glass and alkali-activated materials. (geopolymers). The stress is put on the phase and micro structural changes during production process that can influence material properties.
