Gelation and vitrification behavior of the B2O3-Na2O and B2O3-Na2O-TiO2 systems.

Structural Investigation of Na2O–B2O3–SiO2 Glasses Doped with NdF3

Abstract—Sodium borosilicate glasses doped with different content of NdF3 mol % have been prepared by rapid quenching method. Ultrasonic velocities (both longitudinal and shear) measurements have been carried out at room temperature and at ultrasonic frequency of 4 MHz. Elastic moduli, Debye temperature, softening temperature and Poisson's ratio have been obtained as a function of NdF3 modifier...

CRYSTALLIZATION BEHAVIOUR OF GELS AND GEL-MONOLITHS IN THE Na2O-B2O3-SiO2 SYSTEM

Mixed Alkali Effect in Li2O -Na2O-B2O3 Glasses Containing CuO-An EPR and Optical Study

The “mixed alkali effect” is one of the classical anomalies of glass science. We report here an interesting phenomenon “Mixed Alkali Effect” observed for a series of Cu ions doped xLi2O-(30x)Na2O-70B2O3 (5 ≤ x ≤ 25) glasses, investigated by EPR and optical absorption techniques. The EPR spectra of all the investigated samples exhibit resonance signals characteristic of Cu ions in octahedral sit...

BEHAVIOUR OF GERMANIUM IN PHASE SEPARABLE GLASSES OF THE SYSTEM Na2O - B2O3 - GeO2 - SiO2

The role of Ge02 in the Na20 B2O3 Ge02 Si02 quaternary system which presents a spinodal decomposition domain is studied. The physical properties of this system are compared to those of the system without Ge02. The leaching conditions of these glasses and the coordination of Ge are studied.

Studies on preparation and characterizations of CaO-Na2O-SiO2-P2O5 bioglass ceramics substituted with Li2O, K2O, ZnO, MgO, and B2O3

-The bioactive glass 45S5 (Hench glass), having composition 45 SiO2 24.5 Na2O 24.5 CaO -6 P2O5 (wt %) were prepared with substituted Li2O, K2O, ZnO, MgO, and B2O3 by conventional melting process in an electric globar furnace at 1400±10 OC. The Controlled crystallization were carried out to convert the bioglasses to their corresponding bioglass ceramics. Nucleation and crystallization regimes we...
