Properties Of Borate Research Articles

An Ultraviolet Nonlinear Optic Borate with 13-Ring Channels Constructed from Different Building Units.

Under solvothermal conditions, a chair open-framework borate, Na2B9O15(H2O)(H3O) (1), has been synthesized. Compound 1 shows regular pores of zeolites as well as nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of borates. The large 13-ring channels of the boron oxide framework are constructed from different cluster units of B3O7 and B6O13 with three-ring units. The second harmonic generation (SHG) signal intensity of 1 is similar to that of KH2PO4 (KDP) and gradually increased with larger particle size. Compound 1 is a potential UV NLO material for its short wavelength absorption edge.

Magnetic and magnetoelectric properties of terbium aluminum borate

The magnetic and magnetoelectric properties of terbium aluminum borate are studied. It is established that temperature dependences of the magnetoelectric effects of terbium aluminum borate are analogous to those of terbium ferroborate, despite the difference in effective magnetic fields acting on rare-earth ions in these compounds. This confirms the general assumption on the decisive role of the rare-earth element in the magnetoelectric properties of borates.

Computer simulation of borates with the use of a universal model of B-O interatomic potentials

A universal model of the interatomic coupling potentials for structural simulation of borates is developed for correct reproduction and prediction of crystal structures of borates containing BO3 triangles and BO4 tetrahedra. The model is tested on three compounds: CaB2O4, SrB4O7, and CaB6O10. It is concluded that the model can be used in structural simulation and prediction of physical properties of borates containing more complex boron-oxygen radicals.

The role of boron-based additives in exterior wood coatings

Borates are clearly multi-functional coatings additives in the truest sense. Wood coatings can benefit from the biostatic, tannin stain resistance and flame retardant properties of borates. In addition, protection in storage is carried over into service and consequently borates can offer extremely cost effective solutions for the production of high performance coatings. Just one example, if zinc borate were being used for tannin stain resistance, it is unnecessary to use a separate dry film fungicide, in-can preservative or in-can corrosion inhibitor.
