SCHOTT North America, Inc. Interfaces in Functional Materials Practical aspects and implications of interfaces in glass-ceramics Mark J. Davis SCHOTT North America, Inc. Outline Key questions to address Interfacial effects in glass-ceramics---a laundry list Glass-ceramics in general: SCHOTT commercial examples Commercial or near-commercial gc / interface examples Key questions: review SCHOTT North America, Inc. Interfaces in Functional Materials Key Questions (from H. Jain) What has been the role of interfaces in the development of emerging applications? With regard to applications, what aspects of interfaces are most important and why? What are the scientific issues that require basic understanding of interfaces in glass-ceramics? What is the relative importance of each? What properties of glass-ceramics hold promise for the future? SCHOTT North America, Inc. Interfaces in Functional Materials Practical Effects (Internal) Microstructural development surface energies and their impact on nucleation general glass stability; controlled vs. un-controlled crystallization (i.e., critical cooling rate in a commercial setting vs. academic…) Structural detailed nature of interface (e.g., “pristine”, microcracked…) crack blunting processes residual stresses, crystal clamping permeability Electrical Effective connectivity Resistive / capacitive behavior Optical scattering effects SCHOTT North America, Inc. Interfaces in Functional Materials Practical Effects (External) Joining (low-temperature) Hydrophilic vs. hydrophobic surfaces Competitive bonding technologies Glass-to-metal sealing (high-temperature) Flow vs. crystallization “stiffening” Interfacial reactions Hermeticity (CTE matching) Polishing Crystal vs. glass effects (mostly proprietary know-how) SCHOTT North America, Inc. Interfaces in Functional Materials Why glass-ceramics? Single Crystals often exhibit the highest property performance, but are generally more difficult and expensive to manufacture Ceramics are easier to manufacture, but are typically porous to some degree and may exhibit inhomogeneities, aging, decreased strength, etc. Glasses take advantage of processing ease, homogenization efficiency, and tailorable compositions, but lack certain functions (e.g., novel CTE combinations, lack of center-of-symmetry) Glass-ceramics can be seen as “glass packaged crystals” and combine the ease of glass processing and potential for new property combinations (e.g., ultra-low thermal expansion, 2nd- harmonic generation, piezoelectricity) Interfaces in Functional Materials glass-ceramic Ceramization Melting glass SCHOTT North America, Inc.
