Origin and consequences of silicate glass passivation by surface layers

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Stéphane Gin et al. from the (UNIVERSITY) have published the Article: Origin and consequences of silicate glass passivation by surface layers, in the Journal: NATURE COMMUNICATIONS NATURE COMMUNICATIONS of 19/02/2015
• what: The authors show that in silica-saturated solution a model glass of nuclear interest corrodes but at a rate that dramatically drops as a passivating layer forms. In this study, glass corrosion mechanisms were investigated from macroscopic to atomistic scale, through isotopically tagged corrosion experiments performed with international simple glass (ISG)-a six-oxide borosilicate glass used as a reference . . .
