Preparation and Properties of Halide Glasses and Glass-Polymer Composites.

摘要

Research has been carried out on two families of solids. The first one involves fluoride, chloride and bromide glasses. The second one involves microporous silica glass impregnated with organic polymers as well as inorganic crystals. The viscosity, vibrational spectra, chemical durability, fiber preparation and effects on oxygen on the properties of fluorozirconates have been studied. A number of new halide glasses were discovered. Microporous silica glass impregnated with PMMA was found to be highly transparent in the visible and possesses abnormal properties. Many crystals impregnated into silica glass were found to have their melting points depressed and some crystallographic transitions were also suppressed.
