Determination of Alumina Nano-Filler Content for Glass Composite Sealants
The effect of adding Al2O3 nano-filler (5, 10 and 15 vol%) to an alkali/alkaline-earth borosilicate glass sealant, particularly on the viscosity, phase transformation and electrical characteristics of the glass composite sealants, was investigated to improve the
cyclic sealing performance. XRD results could be explained by the viscosity of glass composites. The higher the viscosity, the less the crystalline phases formed by reaction of base glass and alumina nano-filler. The electrical conductivity data could be related to the XRD results and explained
in terms of Al2O3 dissolution in the base glass. Considering devitrification resistance and structural strengthening of glass in this work, the glass composite with 5 vol% Al2O3 filler is more useful than the one with 10 vol% filler.
