This study aims to provide experimental evidence for understanding the forming mechanism of glass microlenses and microlens arrays in the contactless hot embossing process. The effects of process parameters, diameter and position of the micro-holes, hole diameter, and pitch of the micro-hole array mold on the filling deformation of glass in contactless hot embossing were comprehensively investigated. It is found that placing the micro-hole farther away from the mold center renders decrease in both filling height and tip curvature but increase in the eccentricity of the embossed glass microlens. As a result, the formed glass microlens array shows a nonuniform distribution of filling height and tip curvature. Furthermore, reducing the pitch of micro-hole array mold can significantly improve the uniformity of formed microlens array. Based on these experimental results, the forming mechanism of microlenses and microlens arrays in contactless hot embossing process is summarized.

Besides, the efficiency of combustion or energy utilization is directly affected by the extent of the melt-foaming. A fundamental understanding of key factors affecting melt foaming under the simulated oxy-fuel combustion environment will enable commercial E-glass fiber production to optimize both batch chemistry and operation conditions to achieve adequate furnace control. In this study, six types of E-glass batches with the same target glass composition were prepared by using four different CaO sources; calcined limes with different SO₃ contents, limestone, limestone with sodium sulfate, and a mixture of limestone and calcined lime. All batch samples were examined by HTMOS-EGA system (high temperature melting observation system with evolved gas analysis). HTMOS enables monitoring batch-to-melt conversation steps by using a high-resolution camera and EGA detects the evolved reaction gaseous, such as CO, CO₂, and SO₂ via an Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) gas analyzer. Gases of water vapor, N₂, and O₂ were introduced accordingly into the fused quartz crucible to simulate similar oxy-fuel atmosphere of the furnace operation. This study aimed to investigate the effects of different SO₃ contents in batches and different raw material chemistries on the foam formation in E-glass melts under the oxy-fuel atmosphere. Different raw materials were characterized by mineralogical analysis, chemical analysis, particle size distribution, chemical oxygen demanding (COD) level, and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analysis. Although some of the batches contained the same SO₃ content, different foam formations resulted from the effect of the batch chemistry. Our detailed HTMOS-EGA investigations show that not only SO₃ content in the batch affects foam formation in E-glass melts, but also raw material chemistry and particle size have strong effects on the melt foaming in E-glass batch melting, especially for those of ingredients having hydroxide phases and/or finer particles with higher specific areas.</p>","PeriodicalId":13850,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Glass Science","volume":"15 3","pages":"276-291"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140573428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Main challenge related to this type of waste comes from the presence of alumina in very large quantities in the glass/glass–ceramics melt, enhancing the risk of melt solidification due to a fast and massive crystallization. Melt lock-up can potentially occur at the operating temperature envisaged for the process (1400°C) and is prohibitive because it would lead to a premature stoppage of the process. The results obtained from casting tests, rheological experiments, and thermodynamic modeling enabled to provide an accurate estimation of the risk of melt lock-up for NCAS compositions. It was highlighted that the composition had a major influence on the temperature at which massive crystallization might occur.
