Abstract:Magnesium-zinc-sulfophosphate glasses with various concentration of Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) of molar composition 63.5P2O5–20MgO –15ZnSO4–1.5Eu2O3 –yAgNps (y = 0.0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7,0.9 and 1.1 g in excess) were prepared via melt-quenching method. As-synthesized glasses were characterized at room temperature to determine the relationship between structural and mechanical properties. Densities of glasses were increased from 3.0720 to 4.3304 g.cm-3 with increase in AgNPs embedding levels, suggesting the n… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
