The principles of Topological Constraint Theory (TCT) were used to study alkali borate and silicate glass systems. Structural models were developed based on experimental data and used to predict properties of the glass.
Principles of Topological Constraint Theory (TCT) were applied to alkali borate and silicate glass systems using intermediate range structural models over wide compositional ranges. The structural model for lithium borate was derived from the Feller, Dell, and Bray model [1] and extended to the terminal composition at R = 3 where R is the molar ratio of lithium oxide to borate. The sodium borate structural model was built using both NMR [2] and Raman [3] data, and also included carbonate retention in the glass [4]. This model was extended to R = 3 similarly to the lithium borate system. The silicate system models were created from 29Si NMR data [5] and also incorporated carbonate retention where necessary [6].Constraint models considered the effect of intermediate range structures on the system, and also incorporated the effect of loose alkali which is not directly associated with a non-bridging oxygen. Constraint models of the alkali borate, silicate, and borosilicate systems were then used to predict properties such as glass transition temperature and fragility.
