A continuous sol-gel process for producing silicate-containing glasses and glass ceramics is proposed, comprising the following steps:

Continuous sol-gel process for producing silicate-containing glasses or glass ceramics

A method of making a liquid dispersion for the manufacture of a photonic crystal. The method comprises dispersing monodispersed spheres in a liquid to form a liquid dispersion, and subjecting the liquid dispersion to an ultrasonic treatment. Ammonia solution may also be added to the liquid dispersion. The ultrasound treatment breaks up agglomerations of monodispersed spheres, and the resulting photonic crystal made using the dispersion is more highly ordered and hence of higher quality.

Method and apparatus for manufacturing photonic crystals

An apparatus is used to apply glass elements with a non-mirrored rear side to, in particular, a textile substrate. The predominant proportion of the glass elements is in the form of balls ( ). At least 5% of the glass elements comprise flat boundary surfaces, and the glass elements are applied to the front side ( ) of a foil ( ) to form a surface. At least a portion of the glass elements comprises balls ( ) provided with facets ( ).
