During the manufacturing and in-service process, the water molecules from the humid or
liquid environments are ubiquitous on glass surface, which can alter the various surface …

The use of display devices has become an integral part of modern life. The vulnerability of
glass displays to cracks and fractures due to accidental drops and impacts has increased …

Abstract The Ball-on-Three-Balls-test has proven to be an accurate and easy-to-use option
for strength testing. However, the maximum stress must be calculated based on Finite …

Previous studies demonstrated the macroscale wear behavior of soda lime silicate (SLS)
glass in humid air was governed by the mechanochemical reactivity of sliding interfaces …

Aesthetic glass-ceramics are widely employed dental materials, both in bulk form and as
veneers. As they are highly brittle, the durability of these materials is limited by fracture and …

Acid treatment of soda lime silica glass results in incongruent leaching of sodium from the
surface, with minimal dissolution of the silicate network or the other cationic network …

Ionic conductivity in silicate glasses is a major issue in the energy sector due to its
detrimental effect on electric energy generation and storage and has received increasing …

Glass durability is one of the properties that can be affected by surface treatments such as
coatings or chemical attacks. These treatments can be used to reduce the quantities of …

TiO2 is an important oxide for property modifications in the conventional soda lime silicate
glass family. It offers interesting optical and mechanical properties, for instance, by …

Hydrothermal treatments of soda–lime silicate glass cause a remarkable improvement in the
resistance to flaw formation with an increase of the critical load to≈ 1 kgf. This remarkable …
