The IX Brazilian Symposium on Glass and Related Materials (IX BraSyGlass) was held in Curitiba, PR, Brazil, from 3 to 6, June 2012, simultaneously with the 56th Brazilian Congress of Ceramics and the 1st Latin American Congress of Ceramics.
The IX Brazilian Symposium on Glass and Related Materials is
organized every two years and is a unique opportunity to bring
together researchers and technologists working in the field of
glass and related materials, not only in Brazil, but all over the
world, to present their most recent research work, to share ideas
and experiences and to catalyze the interaction of Brazilian
scientists, technologists and students with renowned international
experts. The event typically provides a relaxed atmosphere in a
comfortable venue to facilitate contact among participants,
promoting the exchange of information and fostering future
research collaboration.
The partner Brazilian Congress of Ceramics promotes the
