Abstract
Nowadays, phosphate glass fibers (PGF) are considered quite competitive respective to conventional glass fibers. This work focus on the development of PGF fibers intended for structural engineering applications such as composite reinforcement for building and automotive fields. For this purpose, two series of phosphate glasses based on 52P2O5–24CaO-13MgO-(11-(X+ Y + Z)) K2O-XAL2O3-YF2O3-ZTiO2; (X=1; 3; 5, Y=0; 5, Z=0; 1 mol%) were processed and transformed into phosphate glass fibers by melt spinning. The resulting fibers were characterized. XRD analysis confirmed the non-crystalline nature of phosphate glasses. In addition, the substitution of K2O by Al2O3 and by the combination of Al2O3, Fe2O3 and TiO2 in the composition of phosphate glass could lead to a significant increase in fiber density from 2,16 g/cm3 to 2,80 g/cm3. The stability of the produced phosphate glass fibers was examined using two methods: weight loss at 37 °C and dissolution kinetics under different pH levels (4, 7, and 12). The results showed that the chemical resistance of the PGF fibers was improved with up to 99 % increase respective to the original formulation. In addition, the mechanical properties of the spinnable phosphate glass manufactured by replacing K2O oxide by Al2O3 oxide were improved, such a substitution led to a maximum tensile strength and modulus of 2668 MPa and 140 GPa, respectively. Therefore, the tensile proprieties were improved by 75 % compared to the original formulation. This comparative study between phosphate glass fibers (PGF) and traditional fibers highlight similar tensile strength but combined to notable enhancements in chemical stability through cation addition, expanding their potential use in composite and biomedical materials. Finally, a correlation analysis of mechanical performances was carried out. It was observed that the results obtained using the statistical methods were consistent with the experimental data.
