Understanding composition–structure–chemical durability relationships in SiO2-based mixed network-former glasses
Silicate-based glasses have played a vital role in human civilization for centuries, marked by their long-lasting dependability and resistance to weathering. While silicate glasses form the basis for most everyday applications, glasses containing multiple network-forming oxides (including SiO2, B2O3, P2O5, and Al2O3) comprise the vast majority of technological applications. Whereas…
