The purpose of the present paper is to study the influence of glass composition on the thermal stability in the SiO2–B2O3–BaO system, and three glasses were consequently investigated. Although Glass A has a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) that shows the best match with those of anode and electrolyte materials of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), the thermal stability of Glass A is quite poor, where after being heat treated at 800°C for only 8h, the CTE of the glass increased more than 24%. The change of the CTE value was mainly attributed to the fast crystallization that formed high CTE value phases such as BaB2O4 and Ba2Si3O8. In order to improve the thermal stability, BaO in Glass A was replaced by B2O3 (Glass B) and SiO2 (Glass C). It was found that the decrease in the BaO content improved the thermal stability of the resultant glasses. Glass B showed less than 8% change of the CTE during annealing time at 800°C, while Glass C exhibited superior long-term thermal stability, where the change of the CTE was within the equipment detection limit after being heat treated for 300h at 800°C. The good thermal stability of Glass C was believed to be due to the formation of a more compact glass network after the substitution as compared with that of Glass A. The good thermal stability makes Glass C attractive to be used as the sealing material for SOFC applications.

Even though the (75 NaPO3-25 CaF2) (in mol%) glass can be heat-treated into transparent glass-ceramic with Er3+ doped CaF2 crystals precipitating in the volume of the glass during heat-treatment, this glass was found to be a poor glass former, limiting its use as upconverter under 975 nm pumping. In this study, the impact of the glass composition on the thermal, optical and structural properties of the glass was investigated in order to understand how the glass composition can be tailored for the development of thermally stable upconverter glass-based material. The addition of MgO, Fe2O3 and Al2O3 in the NaPO3-CaF2 glass system increases the thermal stability of glass due to the depolymerization of the glass network. However, the changes in the glass composition also impacted on the nucleation and growth process. Indeed, CaF2 and other crystals were found in the newly developed glasses after heat-treatment leading to glass-ceramics with lower intensity of upconversion than the (75 NaPO3-25 CaF2) glass-ceramic used as a reference. Glasses were also prepared with different concentrations of Er2O3 and ErF3. These glasses were found to be promising as not only are they thermally stable, but they also exhibit green and red emission with high intensity under 975 nm pumping due to Er3+ clustering.

Me/MeN/Me (Me=Al, Ti ) multilayer thin films were deposited on silicon substrates by a multi-arc ion plating method (MAIP) and successive magnetron sputtering method (MS) respectively. The as-prepared and heat-treated films were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and auger electron spectra (AES). The results revealed that MS method has an advantage over MAIP method to prepare the Al/AlN/Ti submicron thin films which have high density, clear interface and smooth surface. In addition, the present study indicated that both the deposition sequence and mid-layer composition have a significant effect on the thermal stability. After heat-treatment at 500 oC for 10 min, the Al/AlN/Ti multilayer film prepared by the MS method has good thermal stability without surface crack or surface flaking. Furthermore, significant diffusion of oxygen element and nitrogen element within the multilayer interface was observed by the AES measurement. It is believed that the element diffusion in the multilayer interface plays an important role in the binding strength of multilayer interface.

GeS2 is known to be a good chalcogenide glass former with a transmission cutoff at 11 μm and has been studied for fiber optic application in the mid infrared region. The rare earth sulfides, oxysulfides, and oxides (La–Er) form reasonably good and stable glasses when mixed with chalcogenides such as Ga2S3. In this work, glass formation was studied in the GeS2−La2S3 system. Two compositions containing 60 mol % and 92.5 mol % GeS2, respectively, were analyzed, and the effects of composition on the microstructure and thermal stability of these glasses were investigated. Microstructural studies were conducted on the as-prepared and heat-treated glasses using TEM and SEM/EDXA. Glasses rich in GeS2 exhibited primary (6–88 nm) and secondary (3–13 nm) phase separation at the molecular level. Differential thermal analysis performed on these glasses indicated glass transition temperatures (Tg) of 510 °C and 420 °C for the two compositions studied. The glasses were stable and the (Tg) was observed to decrease with increasing contents of GeS2 in these glasses.

Abstract This paper is addressed to comparative study of changes in thermal stability of surface-modified hemp-hurds aggregates long-term incorporated in bio-aggregate-based composites with the original ones before their integration into alternative binder matrix. In this study, the effectiveness of alkaline treatment of hemp hurds compared to the raw bio-aggregates as well as in relation to their behaviour when they are long-term incorporated in the MgO-cement environment is investigated. The differences in the thermal behaviour of the samples are explained by the changed structure of hemp hurds constituents due to the pre-treatment and long-term action of the alternative binder components on the bio-aggregates. Alkaline treatment increases thermal stability of hemp hurds compared to raw sample. Also long-term incorporation of hemp hurds in MgO-cement matrix had a similar effect in case of alkaline modified bio-aggregates. The more alkali ions present in the structure of hemp hurdssamples, the more ash is formed during their thermal decomposition studied by thermal gravimetry (TG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
