Resistivity, electrical glasses

Electrical. Glasses are used in the electrical and electronic industries as insulators, lamp envelopes, cathode ray tubes, and encapsulators and protectors for microcircuit components, etc. Besides their abiUty to seal to metals and other glasses and to hold a vacuum and resist chemical attack, their electrical properties can be tailored to meet a wide range of needs. Generally, a glass has a high electrical resistivity, a high resistance to dielectric breakdown, and a low power factor and dielectric loss.

Silver is employed for low resistance electrical contacts and conductors, and in silver cell batteries. Antimony is used in lead add storage batteries to improve the workability of the lead and lead oxides. Copper and copper alloy wires, connectors, cables, switches, printed drcuit boards, and transistor and rectifier bases are common throughout the industry. Nickel is used in high resistance heating elements, glass-to-metal seals, batteries, and spedalty steels for power generation equipment Household appliances employ stainless and electroplated steel containing nickel. 

Specific resistance of glasses decreases with temperature, or in other words, electrical conductivity increases according to the exponential relationship... 

Because of the similarity between the mechanisms of viscous flow, diffusion and electrical conductivity, which are all activated processes, a relationship between these phenomena was sought. It has been established empirically that the temperature dependence of viscosity and resistivity of glass melts are often mutually dependent according to the relationship log t/ 3 log 2, or log = a log — b (cf. Morey, 1954). However, it should be borne in mind that mobility of cations is critical for transfer of electric charges while mobility of anionic structural units (network formers) is involved in the case of vi.scous flow. This is why the relation between the two quantities is difficult to interpret.

Composites have replaced finished metals in many products. They typically consist of fibrous reinforcement such as glass and carbon or other materials that are encapsulated in a hardened matrix of a resin system. Carbon composite is used in launch vehicles and heat shields for the re-entry phase of spacecraft. Composites have advantages over finished metals. They can be stronger and stiffer than metals per unit weight, highly corrosion resistant, electrically insulating, and much more. 

Epoxy adhesives are also easy to modify for special purposes. For example, they can be filled with carbon, silver, or gold to provide electrical conductivity. Other additives can enhance thermal conductivity, while maintaining electrical insulation. Additional performance properties of epoxy-based adhesives that can be modified include impact resistance, shrinkage, glass transition temperature, high-temperature strength, surface specific adhesion characteristics, and chemical or moisture resistance.
