Glass electrical conductivity

Electrical properties of glass ceramics are determined by the properties of both the crystalline phases and the residual glass. Electrical conductivity and dielectric loss (at low frequencies) are dominated by the concentration and mobility of alkali ions in the glass phase. The dielectric constant is dominated by the crystalline phase, especially when that phase consists of high dielectric constant materials such as ferroelectric crystals. The...

Metallic Glasses. Electrically conducting glasses can be prepared from combinations of predominantly metallic elements by rapid cooling or vapour deposition. Their magnetic properties make them suitable for low-loss transformer cures, and their mechanical strengths approach theoretical fracture strength, as local dislocation fracture mechanisms do not operate. 

Some polymers from styrene derivatives seem to meet specific market demands and to have the potential to become commercially significant materials. For example, monomeric chlorostyrene is useful in glass-reinforced polyester recipes because it polymerizes several times as fast as styrene (61). Poly(sodium styrenesulfonate) [9003-59-2] a versatile water-soluble polymer, is used in water-poUution control and as a general flocculant (see Water, INDUSTRIAL WATER TREATMENT FLOCCULATING AGENTs) (63,64). Poly(vinylhenzyl ammonium chloride) [70304-37-9] h.a.s been useful as an electroconductive resin (see Electrically conductive polya rs) (65). 

Electrical conduction ia glasses is mainly attributed to the migration of mobile ions such as LE, Na", K", and OH under the influence of an appHed field. At higher temperatures, >250° C, divalent ions, eg, Ca " and Mg ", contribute to conduction, although their mobiUty is much less (14). Conduction ia glass is an activated process and thus the number of conducting ions iacreases with both temperature and field. The temperature—resistivity dependence is given...

The electrical conductivity also increases with increasing metal oxide content, due to the high mobility of the metal ions. For example several glass compositions have been used as solid electrolytes in galvanic cells in which other metal ions apart from the alkaline and alkaline earth ions have been incorporated. The electrochemical cell... 

The chemical reactions of IF5 have been more extensively and systematically studied because the compound can be handled in glass apparatus and is much less vigorous a reagent than the other pentafluorides. The (very low) electrical conductivity of the pure liquid has been ascribed to slight ionic dissociation according to the equilibrium... 

Epoxy, polyester, phenolic and other resins are used as coatings and linings with or without reinforcement. Glass fiber, silica, carbon and many other materials can be used as filters or reinforcement to produce materials with specific properties of strength, flexibility, wear resistance and electrical conductivity.

Liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs) are composite systems where side chains of a crystalline polymer are cross-linked. Their mesogenic domains can be ordered nematically and undergo a phase transition to a disordered state at a temperature well above the glass-transition temperamre (Tg) of the polymer. Although the phase transition is thermally driven, LCEs demonstrate electrical conductivity and thus can be electrically stimulated." Ratna" has reported contractions of nearly 30% due to the phase transition of acrylate-based LCEs.
