    Effect of Cation Substitutions in an Ionomer Glass Composition on the Setting Reaction and Properties of the Resulting Glass Ionomer Cements By Mitra A. M. P.

Abstract This study investigated the effect of Ba2+ and Sr2+ substitutions for Ca2+ in an ionomer glass composition 4.5SiO2-3Al2O3-1.5P2O5-3CaO-2CaF2 on the setting reaction and properties of the resulting glass ionomer cements (GICs). Experimental GICs (Ca-GIC, Ca-Sr-GIC and Ca-Ba-GIC) were characterized via various techniques: Diametral tensile strength, compressive strength, flexural strength, Vickers hardness and nano-indentation measurements were conducted at different time points during setting. Real time Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used to study the effect of the glass composition on cement setting reactions. A resistance to penetration method evaluated the cement setting time. Additionally, the wear resistance of the experimental GIC was measured by a ball-on- flat wear test.

  • Comprehensive Investigation on Fluorosilicate Glass Prepared By
    330 Journal of The Electrochemical Society, 147 (1) 330-334 (2000) S0013-4651(99)04-019-7 CCC: $7.00 © The Electrochemical Society, Inc. Comprehensive Investigation on Fluorosilicate Glass Prepared by Temperature-Difference-Based Liquid-Phase Deposition Ching-Fa Yeh,z Yueh-Chuan Lee,* Kwo-Hau Wu, Yuh-Ching Su, and Su-Chen Lee Department of Electronics Engineering and Institute of Electronics, National Chiao Tung University, Hsinchu, Taiwan This study investigates the properties of fluorosilicate glass film prepared by temperature-difference-based liquid-phase deposition. Experimental results indicate that the deposition temperature can significantly affect the deposition rate and film properties. As the deposition temperature increases from 15 to 358C, the deposition rate increases exponentially from 30 to 687 Å/h. Meanwhile, the F and OH contents increase from 2.56 to 3.49% and from 0.16 to 0.5%, respectively. The dielectric constants and stresses for the films deposited at 15, 25, and 358C, are 3.56/63 MPa, 3.46/43 MPa, and 3.66/73 MPa, respectively. The current densities at 2 MV/cm for the films deposited at 15, 25, and 358C are 6.9 3 1029, 4.6 3 1029, and 3.6 3 1027 A/cm2, respectively. For the film deposited at 258C, the dielectric constant and the stress are minimal because of the high F content, low OH content, and low bond strain. The properties are also compared with those of fluorosilicate glass prepared by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor depo- sition. In addition to exhibiting a lower dielectric constant and much better resistance to moisture, the film prepared by tempera- ture-difference-based liquid-phase deposition also shows a comparable or better insulating property, revealing a reliable intermet- al dielectric with a low dielectric constant.

After verifying two reliable experimental methods, 336 measurements are conducted and their results are tabulated. Attenuation behavior is determined over broadband spectra, extending up to 15 MHz in low More info about this article: attenuating materials. The attenuation spectra are characterized in combination with four power law terms, with many showing linear frequency dependence, with or without Rayleigh scattering. Dislocation damping effects are re-evaluated and a new mechanism is proposed to explain some of the linear frequency dependencies. Additionally, quadratic and cubic dependencies due to Datta–Kinra scattering and Biwa scattering, respectively, are used for some materials to construct model relations. From many test results, some previously hidden behaviors emerged upon data evaluation. Effects of cold working, tempering, and annealing are complex and sometimes contradictory. Comparison to available literature was attempted for some, but most often prior data were unavailable. This collection of new attenuation data will be of value in materials selection and in designing structural health monitoring and non-destructive inspection protocols.

Having not been made from clay it is often not classed as pottery. It is called 'Egyptian faience' to distinguish it from faience, the tin glazed pottery associated with Faenza in northern Italy. Egyptian faience, both locally produced and exported from Egypt, occurs widely in the ancient world, and is well known from Mesopotamia, the Mediterranean and in northern Europe as far away...
