Abstract
Borosilicate glasses possess excellent melting properties and high stability against chemical attack by aqueous solutions, enabling this glass family to be used in various fields. In this article, we design a novel glass network in order to achieve a chemically robust glass with a low melting temperature. Therefore, the substitution effect of Na2O by MgO, Al2O3, Li2O, and K2O on the chemical durability and melting properties of sodium aluminosilicate glass (i.e., 80SiO2‒5Al2O3‒15Na2O [mol%]) was examined using a standard hydrolytic resistance test and viscosity measurement. Interestingly, we found that the partial replacement of Na2O by Al2O3, Li2O, and K2O (i.e., 80SiO2‒5Al2O3‒15Na2O → 80SiO2‒6.5Al2O3‒9Li2O‒2.25Na2O‒2.25K2O) makes the glass network with chemical durability and melting properties comparable to those of the commercial borosilicate network, resulting in a low HCl consumption of 0.04 mL/g and working temperature of 1238°C (i.e., temperature at viscosity 104 dPa s). The structural characterizations indicate that the high chemical stability of this glass composition originates from the abundance of SiO4 tetrahedrons with three and four bridging oxygen in the glass network as well as the increase in cationic field strength of mixed alkali ions. These excellent melting properties and superior chemical durability of glass imply the possibility of using the mixed alkali metal oxides aluminosilicate glass together with the commercial borosilicate glass in the markets for numerous practical applications.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Ceramic Society contains records of original research that provide insight into or describe the science of ceramic and glass materials and composites based on ceramics and glasses. These papers include reports on discovery, characterization, and analysis of new inorganic, non-metallic materials; synthesis methods; phase relationships; processing approaches; microstructure-property relationships; and functionalities. Of great interest are works that support understanding founded on fundamental principles using experimental, theoretical, or computational methods or combinations of those approaches. All the published papers must be of enduring value and relevant to the science of ceramics and glasses or composites based on those materials.
Papers on fundamental ceramic and glass science are welcome including those in the following areas:
Enabling materials for grand challenges[...]
Materials design, selection, synthesis and processing methods[...]
Characterization of compositions, structures, defects, and properties along with new methods [...]
Mechanisms, Theory, Modeling, and Simulation[...]
JACerS accepts submissions of full-length Articles reporting original research, in-depth Feature Articles, Reviews of the state-of-the-art with compelling analysis, and Rapid Communications which are short papers with sufficient novelty or impact to justify swift publication.
