Although some in-plane properties of the stitched E-glass composite structure are slightly lower than in laminated composite, its mode-I delamination failure is improved. This was achieved by using the out-of-plane directional stitched fibers. Recently, some nanoparticles as single-walled nanotubes (SWNT) or multiwalled nanotubes (MWNT) or nanofibers (NF) were added to the glass fabric structure or stitched preform during consolidation process. This further enhances the thermo-mechanical impact properties of the E-glass fiber composites.","PeriodicalId":118101,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Glass Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114205648","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because of their high strength, chemical stability, low thermal expansion, and good flowability, they are manufactured from colorless glass for many industrial purposes. In recent years, the urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon has become very serious in urban centers. Heat emitted from exterior walls of buildings accounts for a relatively large proportion of total anthropogenic waste heat. Retroreflective (RR) materials are researched worldwide for the potential in application to building exterior wall surface instead of normal diffuse highly reflective (DHR) materials to resist the UHI. Glass beads are the common main components of these RR materials. Glass beads have different refractive indices and diameters. The classification and reflection principles of glass beads, experimental analysis on the optical properties and thermal performance of glass bead RR materials are elaborated in detail in this chapter. In addition, if these glass bead RR materials are used in building facades, when the incident angle of the sun is very high, the facade will produce a large specular reflection to the road, which may cause adverse effects on pedestrians. Therefore, theoretical and technical aspects of preventing the specular reflection from glass bead RR materials should be studied and implemented.","PeriodicalId":118101,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Glass Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128239663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Those final optics assembly are facing some severe tests, like the laser-induced damage caused by 3ω (351 nm) laser irradiation. Meanwhile, the irradiation of gamma ray and X-rays, will also cause the changes of optical properties in the investigated multi-component phos- phate glasses that have potential use in novel color separation optics in high power laser facilities. These changes of optical properties are associated with the defects induced by gamma radiation. In details, some defects contribute to the absorption in the UV region, which will deteriorate their UV performance. However, some of the induced defects can be eliminated by thermal treatment due to the release and capture of the electrons in conduction band. Besides, the doped Fe, Co, B, Ce and Sb will also affect the defect-state in phosphate-based glasses. In details, gamma radiation resistances of the phosphate glass can be greatly improved by CeO 2 and Sb 2 O 3 co-doping, and the introduction of B 2 O 3 reduces the connectivity of phosphate chains and thus increases the concentration of PO 3 -EC and PO 4 -EC defects.","PeriodicalId":118101,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Glass Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129539314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One major problem is the chemical reaction of this glass with barium oxide and other materials in the composition such as Ba-Y-Co-Fe (BYCF) and Ba-Sr-Co-Fe (cathode) used in the fuel cell components, leading to the formation and spreading of barium aluminosilicate glass on the cathode surface in the fuel cell. This investigation indicated that adding 0.4 mol% ZrO 2 to BCABS prevents the formation of barium aluminosilicate glass. Generally, the sealing glass of fuel cells must show high resistivity for no disturbance to electricity from the fuel cell system when generating the electron. The 0.4 mol% ZrO 2 to BCABS is generated with resistivity of 4 M Ω that is useful for SOFCs technology. The thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) in SOFCs is the major condition for producing the cell layers. The thermal expan- sion coefficient of SOFCs based on each layer (cathode, electrolyte, anode, interconnect and sealant) should be closed to prevent broken cells. The thermal expansion coefficient is 12.40 (cid:3) 10 (cid:4) 6 / o C matched with the TEC of the GDC 10 electrolyte. Therefore, BCABS glass with 0.4 mol%ZrO 2 generated a novel composite for SOFCs.","PeriodicalId":118101,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Glass Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126266101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

XRD and DSC analysis confirmed the glassy nature of the prepared samples. The physical properties such as density (ρ), molar volume (Vm), oxygen packing density (OPD), and the molar volume of oxygen (Vo) were calculated and discussed. FTIR and Raman studies showed that the glass network consists of BO3 and BO4 units in various borate groups. From DSC, it was found that the glass transition temperature (Tg) varies nonlinearly with the addition of ZnO content in place of CdO. Both EPR and optical absorption results have confirmed that the Cu2+ ions are in octahedral coordination with a strong tetrahedral distortion. The changes in various spectroscopic properties of Cu2+ ions in the glasses such as spin-Hamiltonian parameters ( ) and bonding coefficients (α2, β1, and β2) were understood with the help of FTIR and Raman studies.","PeriodicalId":118101,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Glass Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125000764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
