Structure of the network glass-former ZnCl
The structure of the network glass-forming material ZnCl was measured using both neutron and high-energy x-ray diffraction for the glass at 298(1) K and for the liquid over the temperature range 601(1)-977(2) K. Intermediate...

Diffusive processes in aqueous glass dissolution
Abstract: High level nuclear waste is often immobilised in a borosilicate glass for disposal. However, this glass corrodes in contact with aqueous solutions. To predict radionuclide releases from wasteforms, their dissolution...

Global material flow analysis of glass
Abstract: Global glass production grew to 150 million tonnes (Mt) in 2014, equating to approximately 21 kg per person. Producing this glass is energy intensive and contributes annual CO2 emissions of some 86Mt. An accurate map...
Metal-organic framework crystal-glass composites.
The majority of research into metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) focuses on their crystalline nature. Recent research has revealed solid-liquid transitions within the family, which we use here to create a class of functional...

Effective cell membrane tension is independent of polyacrylamide substrate stiffness
Most animal cells are surrounded by a cell membrane and an underlying actomyosin cortex. Both structures are linked, and they are under tension. In-plane membrane tension and cortical tension both influence many cellular...

Structure and triclustering in Ba-Al-O glass
Glass-forming ability in the (BaO) x(Al 2O 3) 1-x system (0≤x≤1) was investigated by using the containerless aerodynamic levitation and laser-heating method. The main glass-forming region was found to occur for 0.40(2) ≤x≤...

Post-Synthetic Modification of a Metal-Organic Framework Glass.
Melt-quenched metal-organic framework (MOF) glasses have gained significant interest as the first new category of glass reported in 50 years. In this work, an amine-functionalized zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF), denoted...

Thermal Expansion of Metal-Organic Framework Crystal-Glass Composites.
Metal-organic framework crystal-glass composites (MOF CGCs) are a class of materials comprising a crystalline framework embedded within a MOF glass matrix. Herein, we investigate the thermal expansion behavior of three MOF CGCs...

A metal-organic framework with ultrahigh glass-forming ability.
Glass-forming ability (GFA) is the ability of a liquid to avoid crystallization during cooling. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a new class of glass formers (1-3), with hitherto unknown dynamic and thermodynamic properties....

Extreme rejuvenation and softening in a bulk metallic glass.
J Pan, YX Wang, Q Guo, D Zhang, AL Greer, Y Li
Mar 03, 2020
Rejuvenation of metallic glasses, bringing them to higher-energy states, is of interest in improving their plasticity. The mechanisms of rejuvenation are poorly understood, and its limits remain unexplored. We use constrained...

Impact of pressure on the structure of glass and its material properties
Philip Salmon, Liping Huang
Oct 10, 2017
High pressures have a significant impact on the structure-related properties of glass, and are encountered in scenarios that range from fracture mechanics, where stress in the gigapascal regime is easily generated by...

Bioactive Glass Bead Characterization: Further Applications in Passive Drug Delivery
Marie O Sykes
Jan 01, 0001
Bioactive glass beads were discovered for their bone repair properties in 1969. This properties, along with their bactericidalness, high ability to be engineered, bioactiveness and their versatile structures, mark them as...

Does a Growing Static Length Scale Control the Glass Transition?
Several theories of the glass transition propose that the structural relaxation time τ_{α} is controlled by a growing static length scale ξ that is determined by the free energy landscape but not by the local dynamic rules...
