| Summary: | The effect of PbO on the elastic properties phosphate of glass and
borate glass system has been studied. A series of lead borate glasses [PbOx.
(0.10 ≤ X ≤ 0.60)] were successfully synthesized. By using ultrasonic
measurement system, the velocities of the propagated waves attained could
be used to estimate the elastic properties of glass. In this studies, the
velocities of propagated waves in lead borate and lead phosphate are found
to decrease with the mole fraction of PbO. Meanwhile, the addition of PbO
increases the density of g lasses. It shows that lead borate and lead
phosphate glasses become more rigid but undergone a weakening structure.
Hence, an addition of PbO will affect the elastic properties of glass. From the experimental results 'the elastic modulus C11 and C44, Young's modulus (E);
bulk modulus (8) and Poisson ratio (0) are also found to vary with the mole
fraction of PbO. The Oebye temperatures, which describe the thermal
behaviour for isotropic materials such as glass also show a decreasing trend
with the mole fraction of PbO. It seems that an addition of PbO into the
borate and phosphate g lass systems changes the coordination of the glass
structure and weakens the g lass network by the increase of non-bridging
oxygens (N 80s).
From the structural aspect, the lead borate glass consists of 803 and
804 units, which change markedly with the PbO content. At low PbO
concentration (x ≤ 0.15), lead is assumed to assist in the formation of 804
tetrahedral. Whereas, for high PbO content (x> 0.15), some of lead act to
form Pb04 pyramid. Meanwhile, for lead phosphate glasses , since the basic
structure is Pb04 tetrahedral, hence an increment of PbO content tend to
reduce the number of cross-linking P-O-P bonds between pairs of tetrahedral and increase the number of chains of P04 tetrahedral. |
