Abstract

A probable order of the formation of structural units in glasses of the Na2O-B2O3-SiO2, Na2O-TiO2-SiO2, and Na2O-B2O3-SiO2-TiO2 systems as a function of the alkali oxide content is analyzed in terms of the strengths of the cation-oxygen bonds of the glass components. The principle of the structure formation in silicate glasses is proposed. It is demonstrated that the chemical composition of glasses can be used to predict the existence of structural groups favoring the crystallization of titanium-containing phases in the glass and, consequently, the influence of the composition on the opacity of enamel coatings.
