Book Molecular Origins of Mechanical Properties in Hybrid Glasses

Download or read book Molecular Origins of Mechanical Properties in Hybrid Glasses written by Mark Stephen Oliver and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hybrid organic-inorganic glasses are materials wherein organic and inorganic chemical components are intermixed and covalently bound at the molecular scale. This class of materials has great potential to enable and enhance a range of new technologies given their unique properties. To date, hybrid glasses have been used in a diverse range of applications including protective coatings, adhesion promoting films, ultra-low-k dielectrics, and optical waveguides. The successful integration of hybrid glasses requires that they possess sufficient mechanical properties to withstand often harsh processing and operating conditions. This dissertation presents results from several investigations of how molecular structure controls elastic and fracture properties of hybrid glasses. Two major sol-gel derived hybrid glass systems are discussed. The first is oxycarbosilane (OCS) glasses processed from small organosilane precursors. The second system is ZrOx/epoxysilane hybrids. For the OCS glasses, the primary focus of this work was to develop the capability to generate accurate molecular models of these materials and to simulate their mechanical properties using molecular dynamics as well as a novel fracture model that uses the mathematics of graph theory to predict the 3-D cohesive fracture path at the atomic scale. Using these computational tools, the impact of network connectivity on elastic stiffness and cohesive fracture energy has been elucidated. Also, the exceptionally high stiffness of OCS materials processed from 1,3,5-benzene precursors predicted by computational modeling is discussed. For the ZrOx/epoxysilane materials, linear elastic fracture mechanics experiments were done to characterize the fracture resistance of these glasses under monotonic, static, and cyclic loading conditions. The effects of glass composition, substrate composition, and silane crosslinking on the critical fracture energy were investigated. Additionally, plasticity-driven cyclic mechanical fatigue was observed, providing the first evidence of the importance of fatigue phenomena to hybrid glasses.

Book Fundamentals of Amorphous Solids

Download or read book Fundamentals of Amorphous Solids written by Zbigniew H. Stachurski and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-03-09 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long awaited, this textbook fills the gap for convincing concepts to describe amorphous solids. Adopting a unique approach, the author develops a framework that lays the foundations for a theory of amorphousness. He unravels the scientific mysteries surrounding the topic, replacing rather vague notions of amorphous materials as disordered crystalline solids with the well-founded concept of ideal amorphous solids. A classification of amorphous materials into inorganic glasses, organic glasses, glassy metallic alloys, and thin films sets the scene for the development of the model of ideal amorphous solids, based on topology- and statistics-governed rules of three-dimensional sphere packing, which leads to structures with no short, mid or long-range order. This general model is then concretized to the description of specific compounds in the four fundamental classes of amorphous solids, as well as amorphous polyethylene and poly(methyl)methacrylate, emphasizing its versatility and descriptive power. Finally, he includes example applications to indicate the abundance of amorphous materials in modern-day technology, thus illustrating the importance of a better understanding of their structure and properties. Equally ideal as supplementary reading in courses on crystallography, mineralogy, solid state physics, and materials science where amorphous materials have played only a minor role until now.

Book Inorganic Polymeric Glasses

Download or read book Inorganic Polymeric Glasses written by Richard C. Ropp and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author describes a novel method of preparing hydrolysis-stable non-silicate glasses which is based on experimental work accomplished over the past twenty years. As such, the method is the beginning of a new approach to glass-making by the use of a molecularly-polymerizable precursor. The book elucidates the technical details required to produce such molecularly-polymerized glasses from carefully prepared inorganic molecular monomers. Essentially, only silicate-based glasses have been known to be stable, whereas non-silicate glasses could not be attributed with such properties. Such glasses have, therefore, not found widespread usage in industry. The new phosphate glasses described here exhibit stabilities superior to many of the silicate glasses. For example, the nuclear-waste glass shows no measurable loss at all in boiling water, something entirely foreign to the zinc borosilicate glasses developed for nuclear waste encapsulation in the U.S. by Battelle-Northwest. The exceptional stability of the new glasses is achieved by selecting an inorganic compound capable of being polymerized, and then causing it to polymerize in a proper manner, in the absence of chain-stoppers. To obtain glasses equal or superior in hydrolysis stability to silicate-based systems it is imperative to employ molecular polymerization in situ, starting from carefully prepared precursors of exact stoichiometric proportion. Researchers in glass and glass properties will find this volume extremely useful and those involved in organic polymers will be intrigued by the similarities and disparities of the two systems.
