Die Erfindung betrifft weiterhin einen Quarzglaskörper, der durch dieses Verfahren erhältlich ist. Weiterhin betrifft die Erfindung einen Lichtleiter, ein Leuchtmittel und einen Formkörper, die jeweils durch Weiterverarbeiten des Quarzglaskörpers erhältlich sind.
Abstract:
This invention resides in a process for making silica articles having few or no visible bubbles by sintring silica gels derived from a sol-gel process. The process incorporates control of pH during hydroxylation and gelation, as well as chlorination at temperatures previously considered unsuitable. The process optionally incorporates addition of dispersant to the silica solution.
Abstract:
The invention relates to fused silica having low compaction under high energy irradation, particularly adaptable for use in photolithography applications.
Abstract:
A process for manufacturing glass by vacuum melting, which comprises heating a silicon dioxide powder in the presence of a phase conversion promoter to form a sinter having a cristobalite crystal phase, molding or re-pulverizing this sinter, placing it in a vessel of a desired shape and heating it in vacuo to effect vitrification, or collecting a plurality of the sinters in a desired shape and heat-melting them in vacuo to effect vitrification. This process enables a high quality glass ingot of a desired shape or a larger-sized glass ingot to be obtained easily without lowering the productivity.
Abstract:
A process for manufacturing glass from silicon dioxide by vacuum melting, which comprises uniformly pre-heating a silicon dioxide powder containing a phase conversion promoter to about 800°C, filling it in a vessel while substantially keeping that temperature, re-heating it to form a sintered molding having a cristobalite crystal phase, and heat-melting the molding in vacuo to effect vitrification. This process makes it possible to increase the conversion of the starting material and the productivity by shortening the heating time, and nearly completely prevent formation of cracks on the surface of the sintered molding, thus suppressing the formation of defectives.
Abstract:
An abrasion, scratch, mar and solvent resistant glass coated non-opaque shaped polycarbonate article comprising a polycarbonate substrate having deposited on the surface thereof (i) an intermediate primer layer containing the photoreaction products of certain polyfunctional acrylic monomers; and (ii) a top layer of vapor deposited glass.
Abstract:
A method for preparing quartz glass with low content of hydroxyl and high purity, includes providing silica powders including hydroxyl groups. The silica powders are dehydroxylated, which includes drying the silica powders at a first temperature, heating the silica powders up to a second temperature and introducing a first oxidizing gas including halogen gas, thereby obtaining first dehydroxylated powders, and heating the first dehydroxylated powders up to a third temperature and introducing a second oxidizing gas including oxygen or ozone, thereby obtaining second dehydroxylated powders. The second dehydroxylated powders are heated up to a fourth temperature to obtain a vitrified body. The vitrified body is cooled to obtain the quartz glass with low content of hydroxyl and high purity. The quartz glass prepared by the above method has low content of hydroxyl and high purity. A quartz glass with low content of hydroxyl and high purity is also provided.
