The viscosity of silica glasses with different water contents was measured by penetration of sapphire microspheres in the range from 1012-1014·7 Pas at ambient pressure. Commercial silica glasses were used together with hydrous silica glasses, which were prepared by melting glass powder plus water in an internally heated pressure vessel at 2-3 kbar and 1350-1450°C. The temperature dependence of the viscosity of silica glasses with total water contents Cw of 5·4×10-4, 7·0×10-4, 1·00×10-2, and 1·55×10-2(Cw in mass fractions) can be described by Arrhenius equations. From the results, the linear dependence of the T12 isokom (K) with the logarithm of the water content was determined as T12=192-409 logCw. The analysis of the compositional dependence of the T12 isokom in the H2O-Na2O-SiO2 system reveals a temperature depression of up to 200 K for mixed water- and sodium-bearing glasses compared to H2O-SiO2 and Na2O-SiO2 glasses with same molar silica content. From these findings we conclude that protons may contribute significantly to the mixed alkali effect in glasses.
The effect of hydration on the kinetic fragility of soda-lime-silica glasses was investigated by viscometry in the glass transition range. Water-bearing glasses were prepared from industrial float glass (FG) and a ternary model glass (NCS = 16Na2O 10CaO 74SiO2 in mol%) by bubbling steam through the melt at 1480 °C and up to 7 bar. Additionally, a sodium borosilicate glass (NBS = 16Na2O 10B2O3 74SiO2 in mol%) was hydrated under equal conditions. As detected by infrared spectroscopy water dissolves in the glasses exclusively as OH-groups. The hydration resulted in a total water content CW up to ~ 0.2 wt% for FG, NCS and NBS glasses. Kinetic fragility, expressed by the steepness index m, was determined from the temperature dependence of η at the glass transition. Viscosity data from previous studies on hydrous float glasses (CW > 1 wt%) were surveyed together with literature data on the (H2O)Na2OCaOSiO2, (H2O)Na2OSiO2 and (H2O)SiO2 systems to expand the range of water concentration and bulk composition. We could demonstrate that m decreases for all glasses although water is dissolved as OH and should depolymerize the network. An empirical equation of the general type m = a - b logCW where a, b are fitting parameters, enables m to be predicted, for each glass series as function of the water content CW. The enlarged data base shows that the parameter B of the Arrhenius viscosity-temperature relation decreases much stronger than the isokom temperature at the glass transition.
The internal friction of hydrated soda-lime-silica glasses with total water content (CW ) up to 1.9 wt. % was studied by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) using temperature-frequency sweeps from 723 K to 273 K and from 1 s-1 to 50 s-1. Total water content and concentrations of H2O molecules (CH2O ) and OH groups (COH) in the DMA specimens were determined by infrared spectroscopy. For low water contents (CW ≈ COH < 0.25 wt. %) two discrete internal friction peaks below the glass transition (α relaxation) were assigned to the low-temperature motion of alkali ions (γ relaxation) and cooperative movements of dissimilar mobile species under participation of OH at higher temperature (βOH relaxation). For large water contents (CW > 1 wt. %), where significant amounts of molecular water are evident (CH2O > 0.15 wt. %), however, internal friction spectra change unexpectedly: the βOH peak heights saturate and a low temperature shoulder appears on the β-relaxation peak. This emerging relaxation mode (βH2O relaxation) was assigned to the motions of H2O molecules. βH2O relaxation was found to be faster than βOH but slower than γ relaxation. Activation energy of the different relaxation modes increased in the order γ < βH2O < βOH < α.
As subcritical crack growth (SCCG) can reduce tensile strength of glasses by many orders of magnitude, the potential for improvement of fatigue behaviour is most intriguing in developing ultra-strong glasses. An essential bottleneck is the basic understanding of the numerous interplaying pressure-, temperature- and water-affected relaxation phenomena at the crack tip and related toughening strategies. Therefore, the present project aims to advance the basic understanding of structural relaxation effects and local properties caused by increased water concentration and tensile stresses at the crack tip as they are a key for structural toughening designs to develop SCCG-free glasses and glass surfaces.
Our first studies give clear evidence that glass structure and dynamics is strongly modified upon hydration of glasses. These changes are highly related to the nature of network formers but are affected as well by the counter ions (network modifier). Results of the 1st project part suggest that structural relaxation below glass transition temperature, i.e. overlapping of short-range (beta) and long-range (alpha) interactions can contribute to SCCG in water-free environments and that structurally dissolved water in the glasses can have decisive impact on this effect.
In the 2nd project stage specific glasses compositions will be investigated to gain an improved understanding on the relation of sub-Tg relaxation and inert SCCG as well as to shed light to the related effects of dissolved water and its speciation. These glasses cover a broader range of different glass topologies and binding partners, whereby the coupling of alpha and beta relaxations is varied systematically by alkali-, alkaline earth ions and water species concentrations. Preparation of hydrous glasses (up to 8 wt% water) will be performed by high pressure syntheses. Structure will be resolved by NMR, Raman and IR spectroscopy while structural relaxation is accessed in the temperature and frequency domain using dynamic mechanical spectroscopy and ultrasonic damping. We will focus on measurements of inert SCCG (region III) conducting experiments in vacuum and dry gas atmospheres using indentation techniques and stressing of glass specimens in DCB geometry.
Experimental data on SCCG will be provided to SPP groups, which deals with fatigue in metallic glasses and vice versa we will test theoretical predictions of ab-initio simulations of partner within SPP 1594 in order to quantify the effect of water on the crack tip. In summa topological factors controlling the subcritical crack growth with respect to water will be identified from which structural toughening designs for highly fatigue resistant-glasses can be derived.

The structural investigation of hydrated borate glasses provides new insights on the influence of water on boron speciation using spectroscopic methods. In the present study three soda–lime–borate glasses (NCBx with x = 5, 15 and 25 corresponding to xNa2O, 10CaO, 90 - xB2O3 in mol%) were prepared with water content up to 8 wt.%. The water speciation in the glasses was derived by near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy while boron speciation was investigated by 11B MAS NMR (Magic Angle Spinning Nuclear Magnetic Resonance). For the three glasses effective molar absorption coefficients were determined experimentally for the bands at 5200 cm- 1 and 4600 cm- 1, corresponding to combination modes of H2O molecules and OH-groups, respectively. In contrast to silicate glasses, in which at most ~ 2 wt.% H2O are dissociated to OH-groups, the amount of dissociated H2O may even exceed 5 wt.% in borate glasses. The fraction of tetrahedral to total boron (N4 = BIV / BIV + BIII) is predominantly controlled by the ratio of Na2O + CaO / B2O3, but only weakly affected by the water content of the glasses. When increasing the H2O content from 0 to 8 wt.%, N4 increases from 25% to 26% for NCB5 and from 42% to 47% for NCB25 glasses.
In the present study we have investigated whether the effect of water on properties of borate glasses resembles that of alkali oxide. Soda-lime-borate glasses with nominal compositions of x Na2O, 10 CaO, (90-x) B2O3 (x = 5, 15 and 25 mol%) were doped with up to 8 wt.% H2O by processing glass powder + distilled water in platinum capsules in an internally heated gas pressure vessel at 1523 K and 500 MPa. The water content of hydrous glasses was determined by Karl-Fischer titration and near-infrared spectroscopy. The glass transition temperature T-g. was derived from DTA and micropenetration experiments for which the effect of water loss at the surface of the hydrous glasses was studied. Heating glass samples at 10 K min(-1) in the DTA resulted in T-g values which are close to T-12 isokom temperatures confirming the equivalence of enthalpy relaxation and viscous relaxation for borate glasses. For all three glass series it is shown that T-g strongly decreases whereas the liquid fragility strongly increases upon the addition of water. These findings reveal that H2O primarily causes breaking of B-O-B bonds rather than supporting 4-fold coordinated boron as it is well-known for alkali oxides in this concentration range.

Borosilicate glasses (16Na2O–10B2O3–74SiO2, NBS) with water contents up to 22 mol% H2O were prepared to study the effect of water on structural relaxation using DTA, viscometry and internal friction measurements. The results show that the glass transition temperature Tg of DTA and the isokom temperature T12, of viscometry are in excellent agreement, confirming the equivalence of enthalpy and viscous relaxation for NBS glass. Combining Tg data with water speciation data demonstrates that OH groups are mainly responsible for the decrease of Tg with increasing hydration, while molecular water plays only a minor role. Internal friction spectra at 7.125 Hz confirm the decisive influence of water on mechanical relaxation. The temperature range of α-relaxation (glass transition) strongly decreases while two β-relaxation peaks (sub-Tg) progressively appear with increasing water content. A high temperature β-relaxation peak, attributed to the presence of OH groups, shifts from 670 to 450 K as total water content increases from 0.01 to 5 wt%. A low temperature β-relaxation peak, attributed to molecular water, appears at 380 K and 330 K in glasses containing 3 and 5 wt% H2O, respectively. These findings suggest that relaxation mechanism of different hydrous species at low temperature may contribute to fatigue of stressed glasses.
