New Golden Red Sodium Calcium Silicate Glasses
Journal Title: International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Traditional golden red glasses were based on K2O-PbO-SiO2 composition system. In this paper, we reported new golden red glasses based on Na2O-CaO-SiO2 system without SnO2 and PbO in them. By using a spectrophotometer and chromamter color difference meter, it was found that the new glasses had similar optical properties to the traditional ones. The diameter of the gold particles in new glasses is around 40 nm determined by scanning electron microscope. The surface plasmon resonance created by the absorption of visible light emits golden red color. The benefits of using new golden red sodium calcium silicate glasses are the reductions of gold amount, cost and lead pollution to the environment.

Effect of Novel Thermo-Chemical Treatment on Bending Strength of Laminated Glass
The science of thermal and chemical treatment of glass is well documented. The Laminated Glass (LG) is usually not treated as either treated glass is used during production or lower melting temperature of interlayer does...
Influence of Acid Frosting on the Microstructure Characteristics and Mechanical Strength of Eroded Soda-Lime-Silica Glasses by Sandstorm
Most glass products such as cars windshields, solar panels protecting glass and windowpanes are exposed to unavoidable sandblasting effects especially in areas prone to sandstorms. This sand impingement results into micr...
