This study investigates the structural, mechanical, and gamma shielding features of glass
samples with the composition 9Na 2 O-5BaO-Fe 2 O 3-25Bi 2 O 3-40B 2 O 3-(20-x) SiO 2 …

For the solar energy industry to increase its competitiveness, there is a global drive to lower
the cost of solar‐generated electricity. Photovoltaic (PV) module assembly is material …

Significant gaps remain in understanding of gas-melt interfaces in foamed glass systems.
We attempt to address these gaps by reporting on the transition of local structure, ionic …

Due to the ongoing development of urban infrastructure and higher living standards, waste
glass has become a significant component of municipal solid waste that cannot be …

Titania represents an important compound for property modifications in the widespread
family of soda lime silicate glasses. In particular, such titania-containing glasses offer …

We investigate here the crystallization kinetics of two pre-crystallized multicomponent dental
glass-ceramics (IPS e. max® CAD, Ivoclar-Vivadent; Suprinity® PC, Vita Zahnfabrik) by …

Hardness is an important property of glasses, which depends strongly on the method of
measurement. Herein, we estimate the hardness of three oxide glasses, namely, pure silica …

Vickers indentation methods are popular techniques for the determination of hardness,
indentation fracture toughness, and crack initiation resistance in silicate glasses …

This paper reports on the synthesis and characterization of original sodium calcium silicate
glass, with CaF 2 as a nucleating agent, along with the successful transformation of the as …
