چکیده

The ability to control glass surface reactivity at different length enables key properties required for future “smart substrates”. Employing a thermal poling process on a specific borosilicate glass composition can yield a surface with tailored physical and chemical properties. This work shows that during poling, alkali contained in the glass matrix migrates from the anode to the cathode side of the specimen, yielding the formation of an alkali-depleted layer under the anode. We have shown that this process is responsible for structural changes in the glass network and the formation of a frozen electric field within the glass. Network reorganization is linked to the creation of BØ3 units, which replace BØ4 − entities upon migration of the alkali ions. The resulting newly charged borate structure leads to a measurable change in the glass’ affinity to atmospheric water, being attracted to the poled anodic zone. Such spatial control of surface hydrophilicity can aid in the creation of tailored surface functionality.

Micro-structuring the surface reactivity of a borosilicate glass via thermal poling

Thermal poling was proven successful to induce second order nonlinear properties and concurrent modification of composition, structure and chemical reactivity in glasses. With current efforts to reduce devices sizes in components employing such attributes, means to control changes at the micrometer scale are needed. We present a micro-imprinting poling process to locally tailor surface properti...

Poling-assisted bleaching of metal-doped nanocomposite glass

Thermal poling of soda-lime glass which was doped with spherical or ellipsoidal silver nanoparticles has revealed what we believe to be a phenomenon of general interest in the physics of nanocomposite materials: The field-assisted dissolution of metal nanoparticles embedded in glass. Macroscopically, this phenomenon manifested itself as poling-assisted bleaching of the glass in the sense that t...

Doctor blade sol-gel deposition of a nano-composite copper-zinc oxide on borosilicate glass for advanced oxidative degradation of textille dye in water environment

Nano-composite copper-zinc oxide (NCCZO) was deposited on borosilicate glass using a novel sol-gel/doctor-blade technique. The photocatalyst was prepared from copper acetylacetonate, zinc acetylacetonate, monoethanolamine (MEA) and citric acid monohydrate at 75 oC, aged for 1 d and annealed at 650 oC. The properties of the NCCZO nano-composite were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and fi...
