Abstract

Glasses have been an inseparable part of human life since ancient times, with applications of from interior home decorations, windows, doors, and car accessories to mobile touch screens and medical interfaces. In such advanced applications, properties like mechanical strength, chemical durability and biocidal properties are critical. Despite recent progress, achieving glass surfaces that are simultaneously strong and antiviral remains a challenge. The study aims to enhance mechanical strength through ion-exchange and functionalization of glass as a virucidal material by silver incorporation. Three types of glasses, soda lime silicate, soda magnesia silicate, and sodium borosilicate, were subjected to a two-step ion exchange to induce compressive surface stress and facilitate silver incorporation. This dual approach targets the development of glass surfaces that are mechanically robust as well as capable of antiviral activity, paving the way for advanced functional materials in biomedical and consumer applications.

改性玻璃机械增强和病毒功能化的两步离子交换工艺

自古以来，眼镜就是人类生活中不可分割的一部分，从室内装饰、门窗、汽车配件到移动触摸屏和医疗界面，都有眼镜的应用。在这些高级应用中，机械强度、化学耐久性和生物杀灭性能等性能至关重要。尽管最近取得了一些进展，但实现同时坚固和抗病毒的玻璃表面仍然是一个挑战。该研究旨在通过离子交换和银掺入玻璃作为抗病毒材料的功能化来提高机械强度。三种类型的玻璃，钠钙硅酸盐，钠镁硅酸盐和硼硅酸钠，进行了两步离子交换，以诱导压缩表面应力，促进银的掺入。这种双重方法的目标是开发具有机械坚固性和抗病毒活性的玻璃表面，为生物医学和消费者应用中的先进功能材料铺平道路。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids publishes review articles, research papers, and Letters to the Editor on amorphous and glassy materials, including inorganic, organic, polymeric, hybrid and metallic systems. Papers on partially glassy materials, such as glass-ceramics and glass-matrix composites, and papers involving the liquid state are also included in so far as the properties of the liquid are relevant for the formation of the solid. In all cases the papers must demonstrate both novelty and importance to the field, by way of significant advances in understanding or application of non-crystalline solids; in the case of Letters, a compelling case must also be made for expedited handling.
