Abstract
In this research, a comprehensive multi-technique analysis, including synchrotron-based X-ray micro-computed tomography, is used to visualize the microstructure of alteration in a very particular Roman glass fragment, in which millennia of corrosion history have not significantly impacted the integrity of the fragment itself. This exceptionally rare occurrence has allowed for the maximization of meaningful data acquisition, by examining the alteration structures from the macro to the nanoscale. This study elucidates the intricate mechanisms underlying glass corrosion when in contact with soil, providing quantitative data and phase correlations in the alteration structures. These findings validate and refine existing predictive corrosion models.
