Abstract
By regarding glasses as oxygen polymers with a cross-linked network structure that can have different packing densities and varying degrees of cross-linking according to which network-forming elements and cations are present, the way in which many of their properties change with composition can be explained, at least qualitatively, in terms of the corresponding changes in cross-link density and network packing. The packing of an oxide network is conveniently measured by the oxygen density of the glass, and this and the cross-link density are readily calculated from the composition and actual density.
