Past work has shown that water or acid soaking treatments can increase the mechanical
strength of soda lime silicate (SLS) glasses. In this work, we show that acid leaching …

Silicic melts in magma chambers below active volcanoes typically contain several wt% H 2
O. The dissolved water has drastic effects on the chemical and physical properties of the …

Water or acid soaking surface treatments have been shown to increase the mechanical
strength of soda‐lime silicate (SLS) glasses. This increase in strength has traditionally been …

Abstract Borosilicate glasses (16Na 2 O–10B 2 O 3–74SiO 2, NBS) with water contents up to
22 mol% H 2 O were prepared to study the effect of water on structural relaxation using DTA …

Oxide glasses exhibit slow crack growth under stress intensities below the fracture
toughness in the presence of water vapor or liquid water. The log of crack velocity decreases …

This chapter focuses on the mechanical properties and behavior of glasses below their
glass transition temperature. In this temperature range, they are usually seen as perfectly …

Stable crack growth was measured for nominal dry and water-bearing (6 wt%) soda-lime
silicate glasses in double cantilever beam geometry and combined with DMA studies on the …

Trace amounts of water vapour were found to accelerate the surface stress relaxation of
oxide glasses at temperatures far below the glass transition temperature. Fast surface stress …

Crack growth velocity in alkali silicate glasses was measured in vacuum across 10 orders of
magnitude with double cantilever beam technique. Measured and literature crack growth …

Anomalous water diffusion into SiO2 glass was observed in a low temperature range,
below~ 850° C, under a constant water vapor pressure of 355 Torr (47.3 kPa). Both the …
