Abstract—This work present the study of the effect of adding alkali oxides Li2O and Na2O on the variation of the structure and properties of the glass system (B2O3-ZnO) prepared by melt quenched method. Several tests and characterization methods were used in this study. Some of properties were investigated by measure like density and others by calculations. The dilatometric curves were obtained and they revealed that the transition temperature (Tg) and softening (Ts) have increased by addition of Li2O and Na2O content. It was also noted that this finding has been proven by Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) and an improvement of mechanical properties of studied glasses.
Index Terms—Glass (B2O3-ZnO), melt quenched, density, glass structure, DTA analysis, dilatometrie.
