Glass samples with composition 50PbO : 25TiO2 : (25-X) B2O3 : XSiO2 (with X = 0, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, and 5 mol%) were prepared by conventional quenching technique. These glass samples were converted to glass ceramics by the two-stage heat treatment schedule. Formation of ferroelectric lead titanate phase in the glass ceramics was confirmed from the XRD. The density, CTE, and dielectric constant of the glass and glass-ceramic samples were measured. The glass-ceramic sample containing 2.5 mol% SiO2 exhibited the highest dielectric constant. The SEMs of glass-ceramic samples were studied. The P-E hysteresis loop studies also revealed the highest remnant polarization for this sample, which has a potential for being developed for practical applications.

Ferroelectric (PbxSr1−x)TiO3 (PST) perovskite phase has been crystallized in borosilicate glassy matrix with a suitable choice of composition and heat treatment schedule. La2O3 is a donor dopant for PST and can make it semiconducting. Dispersion of semiconducting perovskite phase in insulating glassy matrix in glass-ceramic samples may lead to the formation of space charge polarization around crystal-glass interface, leading to a high value of effective dielectric constant, εr. Therefore, with the aim of the developing glass ceramics with high dielectric constant, glasses in the system 64[(PbxSr1−x)O·TiO2]-25[2SiO2·B2O3]-5[K2O]-5[BaO]-1[La2O3] have been prepared (0.5≤x≤1). It is found that the addition of La2O3 strongly affected the crystallization and dielectric behavior of glass-ceramic with PST perovskite phase. All glass ceramic samples show a diffuse broad Curie peak in their εr versus T plots. Curie peak temperature, Tc, depends on compositions of the glass-ceramic samples as well as frequency of measurements.

Sintering glass-ceramics, a new type material for architectural decoration, belong to CaO-Al2O3-SiO2system (CAS) without nucleation agent. Combined by Differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Transmission electron microscope (TEM), phase evolutionary process of CaO-Al2O3-SiO2system glass and glass-ceramic was investigated. According the relation between heat treatment schedule and microstructure, the glass system has a very wide temperature range of crystallization. The crystalline phase is β-CaSiO3(β-wollastonite) and there is no other crystalline phases precipitated in these glass-ceramics. The influences of various heat treatment systems on the structure and properties of the glass-ceramics were investigated simultaneously. The optimal heat treatment schedule, microstructure and bending strength of the CAS glass ceramic were gained.

AbstractHot isostatically pressed (HIPed) glass-ceramics for the immobilization of uranium-rich intermediate-level wastes and Hanford K-basin sludges were designed. These were based on pyrochlore-structured Ca(1-x)U(1+y)Ti2O7 in glass, together with minor crystalline phases. Detailed microstructural, diffraction and spectroscopic characterization of selected glass-ceramic samples has been performed, and chemical durability is adequate, as measured by both MCC-1 and PCT-B leach tests.

Abstract The photoluminescence of SiO2-Al2O3-LiO2-LaF3 oxyfluoride glass and glass ceramic samples doped with Ce3+, Eu2+ and Ce3+/Eu2+ is investigated, and the spectra and fluorescence intensities are compared. The luminescence of samples activated by Eu ions is found to be more intensive than of the samples doped with Ce or Ce/Eu. The luminescence of glass ceramics is higher than that of the corresponding glass, which indicates that a proportion of the activator ions are embedded in the fluoride crystallites.

Mn-doped willemite (Zn2SiO4:Mn2+) glass-ceramics derived from ZnO-SLS glass system were prepared by a conventional melt-quenching technique followed by a controlled crystallization step employing the heat treatment process. Soda lime silica (SLS) glass waste, ZnO, and MnO were used as sources of silicon, zinc, and manganese, respectively. The obtained glass-ceramic samples were characterized using the X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), UV-Visible (UV-Vis), and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The results of XRD revealed that ZnO crystal and willemite (β-Zn2SiO4) were presented as major embedded crystalline phases. This observation was consistent with the result of FESEM which showed the presence of irregularity in shape and size of willemite crystallites. FTIR spectroscopy exhibits the structural evolution of willemite based glass-ceramics. The optical band gap shows a decreasing trend as the Mn-doping content increased. Photoluminescent technique was applied to characterize the role of Mn2+ions when entering the willemite glass-ceramic structure. By measuring the excitation and emission spectra, the main emission peak of the glass-ceramic samples located at a wavelength of 585 nm after subjecting to 260 nm excitations. The following results indicate that the obtained glass-ceramics can be applied as phosphor materials.

Series of ferroelectric glass-ceramic samples of Sr0.5Ba0.5Nb2O6 were synthesized by melting method. Firstly, analytical reagents were melted for 30 minutes at 1440°C after being grinded evenly according to a certain molar ratio, then annealed for 10 hours from 550°C to room temperature, finally it was sustained for 4 hours at constant temperature about 700°C. The hardness and transmittance parameters of SBN glass-ceramic were tested. Results indicated the sample had the best property when the amount of Nb2O5 was 10mol%, whose hardness reached 506 kg/mm2, and spectral transmittance was higher than 35% . XRD spectra of this sample indicated this SBN glass-ceramics contained a large number of Sr0.5Ba0.5Nb2O6 crystalline phase and a small amount of Sr0.3Ba0.7Nb2O6 phase. The particle size was about 50 nm.

Glass-ceramics with desired microstructures and properties are controlled by nucleation and crystallization. The nucleation and crystallization of glass, which include the nucleation, crystal growth rates and the activation energy, are important in understanding the stability of glass in practical applications. The activation energy of crystallization (E) plays an important role in determining the utility of glass ceramic. The amorphous to crystalline transformation in glass can be investigated by isothermal and non-isothermal method which is differential scanning calorimetric (DSC). In the isothermal method, the sample is measured as a function of time, while in the non-isothermal method the sample is recorded as a function of temperature. An advantage of the non-isothermal method is the possibility of reaching a test temperature instantaneously and during the time, which system needs to stabilize. However, the isothermal method does not have this advantage. In the present work, this technique was used to calculate the activation energy of CaO-Al2O3-SiO2-CeO2 glass-ceramics. DSC technique can be used as to determine the optimum heat treatment temperature. The advantage of the DSC technique in study of glass-ceramics is that it requires much less time.

Glass-ceramics in the CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 quaternary base glass system was produced via melting technique using feldspar, limestone and magnesite as sources of starting materials. Glass-ceramics production involves making a base glass, annealing and cooling to room temperature and then reheating the base glass to nucleation and crystal growth temperatures. Characterization of the produced glass-ceramics was carried out using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The effects of the crystallization process on some properties such as hardness, chemical durability in acid and alkali media of samples were determined. The results portrayed that glass-ceramic samples to which various amounts of TiO2 (2,4,6,8 and 10 wt.%) were incorporated showed the formation of crystalline phases dispersed in the matrix of their respective residual glassy phases. Significant improvement in hardness, as well as minimum weight loss, were recorded for all the glass-ceramic samples. On the contrary, the glass samples did not crystallize despite subjecting them to heat treatment, their hardness values were low and they were not resistant to acid (1M HCl) and alkali (1M NaOH) attacks. The inability of TiO2 addition to fully transform them into glass-ceramics remains a shortcoming. However, the glass-ceramic samples obtained from this study can be used for tiling works.
