We propose a model to describe the sintering kinetics of polydispersed glass particles, having no adjustable parameter. The model is based on three sintering stages: a pure Frenkel' (F) first step, a mixed Frenkel/MackenzieShuttleworth' stage, and a third, pure MackenzieShuttleworth' (MS) step. The model considers sample shrinkage as the sum of the partial shrinkage of several clusters, each consisting of equally sized particles and each showing independent F or MS behavior. The overall set of clusters mimics the specimen's real particle size distribution. We then introduce the concept of neck forming ability, which allows the formation of necks among particles of different sizes, relaxing the clustering condition. Using experimental physical parameters: particle size distribution, viscosity, surface energy, and the theoretical neck forming ability, the model describes well the sintering kinetics of an alumino-borosilicate glass powder having polydispersed, irregular shaped particles in a variety of temperatures. The sintering kinetics of the real powder is slower, but not far from the calculated kinetics of a monodispersed distribution containing only particles of average size. Thus the model provides a tool for estimating the sintering kinetics of real glass powders, for any size distribution and temperature, thus minimizing the number of laboratory experiments.
Literature data on the effect of water on the glass transition in silicate melts are gathered for a broad range of total water content cw from 3 × 10-4 to 27 wt%. In terms of a reduced glass transition temperature Tg*=Tg/TgGN, where TgGN is Tg of the melt containing cw?0.02 wt% total water, a uniform dependence of Tg* on total water content (cw) is evident for silicate melts. Tg* decreases steadily with increasing water content, most strongly at the lowest water content where H2O is dominantly dissolved as OH. For water-rich melts, the variation of Tg* is less pronounced, but it does not vanish even at the largest water contents reported (?27 wt%). Tg* vs. cw is fitted by a three-component model. This approach accounts for different transition temperatures of the dry glass, hydroxyl and molecular water predicting Tg* as a weighted linear combination of these temperatures. The required but mostly unknown water speciation in the glasses was estimated using IR-spectroscopy data for hydrous sodium trisilicate and rhyolite.
Theory of nucleation in viscoelastic media: application to phase formation in glassforming melts
(2003)
Glassforming melts behave, in the vicinity of the temperature of vitrification Tg, as viscoelastic bodies. A general theory of nucleation in a viscoelastic body developed elsewhere is applicable to the description of phase formation processes in such systems. The present contribution is directed to the demonstration of the relevance of this proposed general theory to describing phase transformation processes in glassforming melts. The application of the theory is shown to explain a number of experimental results on crystallization of glassforming melts, which have not found a satisfactory interpretation so far.
Two fluorescent dyes were incorporated into sol-gel derived SiO2 matrices. The dye was added to SiO2 precursors of different degrees of pre-condensation and the spectroscopic properties of the immobilized dye were measured at various aging and drying stages of the resulting gels. The significant influence of the processing parameters on the spectroscopic properties is manifested in the relative intensity of a second red shifted emission band (550560 nm), which was observed besides the typical coumarin emission band (495 nm). The appearance of this long wavelength emission might be attributed to dye aggregation or to other reactions with the ambient matrix forced by micro porosity phenomena.
