Flexible networks of typical network-forming oxides  are at the heart of many glassy materials with functional properties. Controlling the network structure and its relation to a system's mechanical-, physical-, and chemical-properties is a direction for manufacturing new materials through the principle of rational design. This method can be applied to design nuclear wastes storage-, and ion conducting-, bioactive-materials.
