ZnO doped calcium-silicate glasses in the composition of 47SiO2–24CaO–
6P2O5–2Al2O3–(21-x)Na2O: (x)ZnO (x = 1, 3 and 5, wt%) were produced by
the traditional melt-quenching technique. The effect of ZnO contribution
at various rates on the physical, structural and thermal characteristics of
the glass structure was investigated. Densities (ρ) and molar volumes (Vm)
of the glasses were determined by the Archimedes method. Its structural
properties were measured with FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) spectrum
and its thermal properties were measured with DTA (Differential Thermal
Analysis) device. Densities of the synthesized glasses ranged from 2.709 to
2.784 g.cm-3. It was discovered that ZnO plays a glass-forming role in the
structure by interpreting the peaks in the FTIR spectrum. Glass transition
(Tg), crystallization (Tc) and melting temperatures (Tm) of all glasses produced
using the DTA spectrum were determined.
