Abstract
Quantitative structure–property relationship (QSPR) analysis presents a promising approach to correlate the properties of glass with its composition. Herein, we performed QSPR analysis on eight different silicate glass systems based on structural models generated from molecular dynamics simulations, yielding insights into the Young's modulus of glass. Based on carefully chosen structural and energetic features, a new descriptor based on formation energy was found to have strong positive correlations with Young's modulus (R2 > .9) among various silicate glass systems. These general correlations were also verified by two other silicate glass systems from experiments. Finally, we developed a novel approach to predict the modulus of an unknown silicate glass system based on this new QSPR descriptor. The work presented here sheds light on the modulus-strengthening mechanisms and composition design of silicate glasses.
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.
