Clarifying the effect of pressure on the structure of aluminosilicate glasses is important for
understanding the densification mechanism of these materials under pressure and the …

The addition of MgO to aluminosilicate glasses usually leads to significant changes for many
macroscopic properties. The underlying microscopic structure origin of this effect, however …

Physical aging is a long-lasting research hot spot in the glass community, yet its long-term
effects remain unclear because of the limited experimental time. In this study, we discover …

Sodium aluminoborate glasses are found to exhibit favorable mechanical properties,
especially high crack resistance, due to their relatively low resistance to network compaction …

Scaling relationships among indentation variables such as the maximum indentation
displacement, contact depth, the ratio of load over contact stiffness, and the ratio of …

For a series of conventional soda-lime-silicate glasses with increasing Al2O3 content, we
investigated the thermal, mechanical, and structural properties before and after K+-for-Na+ …
