Pressure-Induced Changes in Interdiffusivity and Compressive Stress in Chemically Strengthened Glass
Glass exhibits a significant change
in properties when subjected
to high pressure because the short- and intermediate-range atomic
structures of glass are tunable through compression. Understanding
the link between the atomic structure and macroscopic properties of
glass under high pressure is an important scientific problem because
the glass structures obtained via quenching from elevated pressure
may give rise to properties unattainable under standard ambient pressure
conditions. In particular, the chemical strengthening of glass through
K<sup>+</sup>-for-Na<sup>+</sup> ion exchange is currently receiving
significant interest due to the increasing demand for stronger and
more damage-resistant glass. However, the interplay among isostatic
compression, pressure-induced changes in alkali diffusivity, compressive
stress generated through ion exchange, and the resulting mechanical
properties are poorly understood. In this work, we employ a specially
designed gas pressure chamber to compress bulk glass samples isostatically
up to 1 GPa at elevated temperature before or after the ion exchange
treatment of a commercial sodium–magnesium aluminosilicate
glass. Compression of the samples prior to ion exchange leads to a
decreased Na<sup>+</sup>–K<sup>+</sup> interdiffusivity, increased
compressive stress, and slightly increased hardness. Compression after
the ion exchange treatment changes the shape of the potassium–sodium
diffusion profiles and significantly increases glass hardness. We
discuss these results in terms of the underlying structural changes
in network-modifier environments and overall network densification
