Abstract

Thermal behaviour of the glass series (100-x)[50ZnO-10B2O3-40P2O5]·xSb2O3 (x=0-42 mol%) and (100-y)[60ZnO-10B2O3-30P2O5]·ySb2O3 (y=0-28 mol%) was investigated by DSC and TMA. The addition of Sb2O3 results in a decrease of the glass transition temperature and crystallization temperature in both compositional series. All glasses crystallize on heating in the temperature range of 522–632°C. Thermal expansion coefficient of the glasses monotonously increases with increasing Sb2O3 content in both series and varies within the range of 6.6–11.7 ppm °C−1. From changes of thermal capacity within the glass transition region it was concluded that with increasing Sb2O3 content the ‘fragility’ of the studied glasses increases.
