The discovery of bioactive glasses (BGs) in the late 1960s by Larry Hench et al. was driven by the need for implant materials with an ability to bond to living tissues, which were …
The question of silicate glass chemical durability is at the heart of many industrial and environmental issues, with certain glasses, such as bioglasses, needing to transform rapidly …

Nations using borosilicate glass as an immobilization material for radioactive waste have reinforced the importance of scientific collaboration to obtain a consensus on the …
This paper presents an experimental investigation on the degradation of carbon/glass/basalt fiber reinforced polymer (ie, CFRP/BFRP/GFRP) exposed to simulated seawater sea sand …
Standard methods to assess the durability of vitrified radioactive waste were first developed in the 1980's and, over the last 40 years, have evolved to yield a range of responses …
All materials can suffer from environmental degradation; the rate and extent of degradation depend on the details of the material composition and structure as well as the environment …
Abstract The Hanford site in Washington State houses~ 56 million gallons of radioactive wastes stored in 177 underground tanks. The waste must be immobilized and permanently …

Chemical durability is not a single material property that can be uniquely measured. Instead, it is the response to a host of coupled material and environmental processes whose rates …
Glass is a material with essentially unlimited application possibilities. This second edition of a comprehensive reference in glass science, points out the correlation between the …
