Abstract
Transmission electron microscopy and selected area electron diffraction performances were used to characterise the microstructure of a multicomponent soda-lime silicate glass, the composition of which corresponds to the miscibility gap in the SiO2—Na2O system. It has been stated that phase separation already exists in as prepared specimens, and the Na2O-rich phase occurs in the form of nearly spherical droplets. The microstructure of these glasses was modified by high-temperature annealing in air and hydrogen, by irradiation with soft X- and gamma-irradiation and by mechanical stretching. In this way the quantity, size, shape and distribution of these particles was changed. A variety of induced changes affects the structure-sensitive properties of commercial soda lime silicate glasses, which can be potentially useful for new applications.
