The presence of leachable alkali ions, or their hydrated sites in the glass, is believed to be a
determining factor for the interfacial water structure at the glass surface, influencing the …

The nanoscale friction and wear behaviors of soda-lime-silica (SLS) glass were studied
using atomic force microscopy (AFM) with diamond (inert) and silica (reactive) tips in dry and …

The effects of counter-surface chemistry on the friction and wear of soda-lime-silica glass
were investigated using a ball-on-flat tribometer with various ball materials (stainless steel …

Previous studies demonstrated the macroscale wear behavior of soda lime silicate (SLS)
glass in humid air was governed by the mechanochemical reactivity of sliding interfaces …

The mechanical and mechanochemical properties of soda lime silica (SLS) glass surfaces
can vary with the sodium ion (Na+) concentration in the subsurface region. Changes in …

The polishing of oxide glass in aqueous solution is sensitive to not only the mechanical
conditions applied by abrasives but also the chemistry of solution. This study elucidates the …

Physical flaws and defects on glass surfaces are known to reduce the mechanical strength
and chemical durability of glass. The formation of surface defects depends not only on the …

We have combined nanoindentation with measurements of Rayleigh wave velocity to
determine the elastic properties of the surfaces of a commercial soda–lime float glass and …

Among the environmental factors affecting glass weathering are humidity, exposure time,
temperature, and the presence of pollutants in the atmosphere. Notwithstanding that the …

The effect of ion‐exchange on the fracture behavior and the threshold load is investigated
for radial crack initiation resulting from cube‐corner indentation. Both tin and air sides of the …
