Osobennost'yu tekhnologii silikatnykh i tugoplavkikh nemetallicheskikh materialov yavlyaetsya neobkhodimost' ispol'zovaniya prirodnykh i tekhnogennykh materialov, nakhodyashchikhsya v tonkodispersnom sostoyanii. Tverdoe, zhidkoe i gazoobraznoe sostoyanie veshchestv yavlyaetsya naibolee rasprostranennoy formoy sushchestvovaniya materii v okruzhayushchey nas prirode. Monografiya soderzhit razdely, v kotorykh izlagayutsya novye teoreticheskie podkhody k protsessam tekhnologii materialov na osnove dispersnykh sistem, soderzhashchikh tverduyu fazu. Izlozheny osnovnye printsipy bezdefektnogo formirovaniya struktur. Pokazany vozmozhnosti ispol'zovaniya ob"emnykh fazovykh kharakteristik pri issledovanii protsessov uplotneniya, pressovaniya i plasticheskogo formovaniya sukhikh i vlazhnykh materialov, pri sushke i obzhige materialov, pri issledovanii i analize protsessov gidratatsii i tverdeniya vyazhushchikh materialov, a takzhe protsessov porizatsii dispersnykh sistem pri poluchenii poristykh materialov. Poleznuyu informatsiyu v monografii naydut inzhenerno-tekhnicheskie rabotniki, professional'nye interesy kotorykh svyazany s pererabotkoy mineral'nogo syr'ya, tekhnologiey proizvodstva stroitel'nykh materialov i izdeliy, tekhnologiey silikatnykh i tugoplavkikh nemetallicheskikh materialov.
