Ultrasonic measurement and elastic properties of the PbO-SrO-B2O3 glass system

Medidas ultrassônicas e propriedades elásticas do sistema vítreo PbO-SrO-B2O3

ABSTRACT:

The PbO-SrO-B2O3 glass system with the of molar ratio of R (= PbO/B2O3) were prepared by fusion method. The elastic properties have been investigated using longitudinal and transversal ultrasonic wave velocity. Measurements were performed at room temperature and using pulse-echo technique at frequency of 5 MHz. The results indicate that, when increasing R value, the glass network stability decreases. This decrease indicates, of the increase the number of borate structures with non bridging oxygen (NBOs) at the expense of the decrease of borate units with tetrahedral structures. This feature may lead to the more open glass network structures and lower stiffness of the samples studied.
