Effects of Zn/P ratio on structures and properties of zinc-iron phosphate glasses

摘要

Effects of Zn/P ratio on the structures and properties of glasses with the general composition of (80-x)ZnO-20Fe2O3 -xP2O5 (x=40, 45, 50, 55,60) (molar fraction, %) were investigated. Glass structure was measured by infrared absorption spectrum. Glass density (ρ) was measured by the Archimedes method. Coefficients of thermal expansion (α) and characterization temperature were obtained by a dilatometer. Water durability of each glass was estimated from the dissolution rate(DR )in water at 90 C for 24 h. With increasing Zn/P ratio, water durability of zinc-iron phosphate glasses increases dramatically without large increase in the characterization temperature. (80-x)ZnO-20Fe2O3 -xP2O5 glasses with 0.3≤Zn/P≤0.5 are suit for low-to-mid temperature sealing application for substrates with α<8.0×10-6C-1 .
