Abstract
The effect addition of Na2O on the solubility properties of phosphate glass of the composition, 45P2O5-18CaO-xNa2O-(34-x)K2O-6Al2O3, where x = 0,5,10,15 and 20 wt. %. has been studied. Glass transition temperature (Tg) of glass samples, weight loss and pH of the immersion solution were measured. The Tg value of the phosphate glass also decreased with the incorporation of Na2O up to 10 wt. % and increased with the incorporation of 15 and 20 wt. %. These results indicates that the solubility and Tg value of phosphate glass were highly influence by the glass composition. The substitution of Na2O to the phosphate glass system with the present of K2O has decrease the solubility of phosphate glass. The released of phosphate and calcium ion seem to decrease with the increasing of Na2O content in the glass composition.
