Glass Ceramic Chemical Composition

Ceramic materials are brittle hard strong in compression and weak in shearing and tension.

Glass ceramic chemical composition. A barium borosilicate glass which consists essentially of as represented by mass based on the following oxides. Oxide glass ceramics include silicate sio2 borate b2o3 phosphate p2o5 and germinate geo2 type materials. Usually they are metal oxides that is compounds of metallic elements and oxygen but many ceramics especially advanced ceramics are compounds of metallic elements and carbon nitrogen or sulfur. Polyvinyl acetate pva polypropylene.

The composition of transparent glass ceramics comprising β quartz ss crystallites as their main crystalline phase is usually located in the system sio 2 a1 2 o 3 li 2 o with added tio 2 and zro 2 as nucleation agents. Glass ceramics can be subdivided into two categories. A ceramic material is an inorganic non metallic often crystalline oxide nitride or carbide material. Amorphous metals and alloys.

In atomic structure they are most often crystalline although they also may contain a combination of glassy and crystalline phases. The crystals themselves are generally very small less than 1µm and most often very uniform in size. Jacers is a leading source for top quality basic science research and modeling spanning the diverse field of ceramic and glass materials science. Glass ceramics have the fabrication advantage of glass as well as special properties.

Non oxide glass ceramics include chalcogenide halide and metallic type. They withstand chemical erosion that occurs in other materials subjected to acidic or caustic environments. Abstract in this paper the relation between the composition of barium glasses and the optical constants is discussed as well as the general rules for proportioning batches. Trinitite radioactive glass formed by heating of the desert floor by the trinity nuclear test fused quartz.

Glass ceramic materials share many properties with both glasses and ceramics. Glass infiltrated oxide ceramics of the in ceram type will only be briefly described because they don t really fit into this classification although they still represent important glass based materials used in restorative dentistry. Borosilicate glass e g pyrex kimax isinglass. Glass ceramic materials have the same chemical compositions as glasses but differ from them in that they are typically 95 98 crystalline by volume with only a small percentage vitreous.

Glass ceramics have an amorphous phase and one or more crystalline phases and are produced by a so called controlled crystallization in contrast to a spontaneous crystallization which is usually not wanted in glass manufacturing.
