“…Since the composite plates are thin, the time-dependent water concentration in the polymeric matrix inside the composite C H 2 O (t) reaches saturation C eq H 2 O very fast. Then, for steady-state dissolution, the equation simplifies to Equation (24):…”

“…As can be seen in Equation (24), there are no more unknown time-dependent parameters left in the equation. The only unknown constant is the order of the water availability n order , which then can be obtained from the experimental data using non-linear regression.…”

“…In one study, the authors reacted E-glass fibers with a corrosive medium, removing residues, and found changes in the fiber dimensions using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) [20]. Among spectrometric and mass spectrometric methods, glass material composition has been characterized by techniques such as laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) [24] and ICP-MS (especially suitable for multi-elemental determination), such as in [10,16,21,25,26]. LA-ICP-MS has an advantage over ICP-MS because there is no need for sample dilution prior to analysis in the former; however, the technique was not feasible, and therefore, ICP-MS was used in this study.…”

“…In [27], a technique for determining the dissolution rate constant of a borosilicate glass fiber in the lung, as determined in vitro, from the oxide composition in weight percent was described. Some other methods used for glass elemental characterization include atomic X-ray fluorescence [22], atomic absorption spectroscopy [24,28], SEM [29], and neutron activation [30]. Composite measurements by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) can define the moisture, fiber content, and polymer content in GFRPs.…”

Influence of Environmental Parameters and Fiber Orientation on Dissolution Kinetics of Glass Fibers in Polymer Composites

Glass fibers slowly dissolve and age when exposed to water molecules. This phenomenon also occurs when glass fibers are inside fiber-reinforced composites protected by the matrix. This environmental aging results in the deterioration of the mechanical properties of the composite. In structural applications, GFRPs are continuously exposed to water environments for decades (typically, the design lifetime is around 25 years or even more). During their lifetime, these materials are affected by various temperatures, pH (acidity) levels, mechanical loads, and the synergy of these factors. The rate of the degradation process depends on the nature of the glass, sizing, fiber orientation, and environmental factors such as acidity, temperature, and mechanical stress. In this work, the degradation of typical industrial-grade R-glass fibers inside an epoxy fiber-reinforced composite was studied experimentally and computationally. A Dissolving Cylinder Zero-Order Kinetic (DCZOK) model was applied and could describe the long-term dissolution of glass composites, considering the influence of fiber orientation (hoop vs. transverse), pH (1.7, 4.0, 5.7, 7.0, and 10.0), and temperature (20, 40, 60, and 80 °C). The limitations of the DCZOK model and the effects of sizing protection, the accumulation of degradation products inside the composite, and water availability were investigated. Dissolution was experimentally measured using ICP-MS. As in the case of the fibers, for GFRPs, the temperature showed an Arrhenius-type influence on the kinetics, increasing the rate of dissolution exponentially with increasing temperature. Similar to fibers, GFRPs showed a hyperbolic dependence on pH. The model was able to capture all of these effects, and the limitations were addressed. The significance of the study is the contribution to a better understanding of mass loss and dissolution modeling in GFRPs, which is linked to the deterioration of the mechanical properties of GFRPs. This link should be further investigated experimentally and computationally.

“…An interesting application by von Wuthenau et al used LA-ICP-MS to identify counterfeit perfumes by analysing the glass bottles in which they were contained . 342 Bottles obtained from Germany, India, Poland and Peru were analysed using LA-ICP-MS with NIST 612 being used for calibration and daily tuning. The LA was performed over a linear area to ensure that different depths of sampling did not cause element fractionation.…”

A comprehensive evaluation was carried out for elemental characterization of automobile glasses having potential forensic application by Energy Dispersive X‐ray Fluorescence (ED‐XRF) spectrometry and Direct Current Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (DC Arc AES). The methods were optimized and validated using geological certified reference materials and glass standard reference material. Total seventeen elements including five major elements (Si, Na, Ca, Mg and Fe) and twelve minor and trace elements (Al, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, Rb, Mo, Zr and Sr) were found to be present. Though DC Arc AES performed better for minor and trace level determination, however, the precision was evaluated as 15–20 % RSD. On the contrary, ED‐XRF performed better for major elements with 5–10 % RSD. The detection limits for the analytes prone to form refractory oxides on heating were found to be poorer in DC Arc AES compared to ED‐XRF. Statistical analyses were also performed to evaluate the reliability of the data obtained by the optimized methods. As a part of forensic applications, the elemental concentrations of minor and trace elements were utilized for the grouping study of the glass samples by cluster analysis using average linkage method.
