The question of silicate glass chemical durability is at the heart of many industrial and
environmental issues, with certain glasses, such as bioglasses, needing to transform rapidly …

Standard methods to assess the durability of vitrified radioactive waste were first developed
in the 1980's and, over the last 40 years, have evolved to yield a range of responses …

Hydrophilic interaction (liquid) chromatography (HILIC) has become the first choice LC
mode for the separation of hydrophilic analytes. Numerous studies reported the poor …

The role of Al in aluminosilicate glasses remains somewhat a mystery: at low concentrations,
it increases the resistance to hydrolysis of the glass, whereas at high concentrations an …

The chemical durability of borosilicate glass used to confine nuclear wastes is known to vary
nonlinearly with their composition, making glass dissolution rate predictions difficult. Here …

The irradiation of glass by heavy ions induces structural damage, generally leading to a
decrease in its chemical durability whose amplitude strongly depends on the glass chemical …

Vitrification is widely recognized as a promising method for the geological disposal of high-
level radioactive waste (HLW) worldwide. To ensure the safe disposal of radioactive waste …

Achieving thinner and higher performance display/substrate glasses and transparent glass-
ceramics with tunable properties requires a precise control of acid-etching process, thus …

Four commercial glass compositions were investigated to understand their mechanisms of
alteration in light of the current and future regulations on food contact materials. Lead crystal …

An atomistic understanding of the mechanisms that govern the borosilicate glass–water
interface is highly needed to obtain initial assessments of the phenomena occurring during …
