Surface Modification of Sodium Aluminosilicate Glasses Using Microwave Energy
Abstract
Microwave energy has been used in ion exchange reactions for four sodium-aluminosilicate compositions. The exchangeable cation in the glass sodium (+) was replaced at the surface by a larger atomic radii cation Potassium (+). Secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS), electron microprobe analysis (EMP) and x-ray mapping were used to evaluate the effect of microwave heating on the extent and rate of ion exchange in comparison to conventional heating.
