Abstract
The tendency of the glass surface to ubiquitous interaction with ambient atmosphere is one of the major causes of its vulnerability. A leached layer depleted of alkali ions constitutes the SiO2-rich surface skin of soda-lime-silica (SLS) glass [1]. The vital contribution of the silanol groups to the surface structure is characteristic of its vulnerability to atmospheric degradation [2].
The present study is an attempt to dig deeper into the susceptible nature of the SLS surface skin to ageing in ambient atmosphere. In order to induce a distinguishable surface modification, superheated steam was considered as a medium of interaction with the SLS surface in the vicinity of the glass transition temperature (Tg) for 30 minutes. This caused a significant enhancement in subsurface hardness by 30% relative to the untreated SLS specimen, up to a depth of 300 nm below the glass surface. The increment in hardness was attributed to the stuffing of the interstitial voids within the silica tetrahedral units by hydrogen-bonded water molecules, evidenced by attenuated total reflection infrared (ATR-IR) spectroscopy. The steam treated SLS specimen was subsequently exposed to the ambient laboratory atmosphere at a temperature around 20 °C and relative humidity of 60-65%, for 1 week — referred to as ambient ageing. We discovered that the ambient ageing was accompanied by a substantial decrease in subsurface hardness, that was statistically significant. Surface structural studies by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) indicated the condensation of vicinal silanols. The decrease in subsurface hardness by ageing was attributed to the loss of the stuffed water molecules within the interstitial voids either to the outer atmosphere or dissipation to the bulk of the silicate network.
The vulnerability of the glass surface may be expressed by the distribution of the intertetrahedral voids of depths on the order of 450-650 picometer [2]. The detrimental effect of these voids has been corroborated in this work, with respect to the susceptibility of the steam treated glass surface to ageing in ambient atmosphere. The vulnerability of the surface to atmospheric degradation is arguably associated with the sustainability of glasses.
