Internal Friction Of Phase Separated Glasses, Scot Walter Taylor

Masters Theses

"The large internal friction peak observed in a 10Li₂O·10Na₂O·80SiO₂ glass was studied as a function of the degree of phase separation. Transmission electron microscopy was used to evaluate the type and degree of phase separation. No observable changes in the temperature position or height of the internal friction peak were observed at successive stages of phase separation. Phase separation of a mixed alkali borosilicate glass also produced no changes in the internal friction peaks. Phase separation is not considered responsible for the large internal friction peak observed in mixed alkali glasses"--Abstract, page ii.
