The measured spectra show the only presence of S6+ in the Na2O-CaO-SiO2 float glass and the oxidation state of sulfur do not change with the increase of glass depth. It is also found that, after the melt has gone through the molten tin bath, the S6+ is the dominant species, but S2- is also present on both surfaces. It is not certain whether cation bonds to S2- or not, because there are many cations dissolved in the melted tin which makes the spectrum complicated.展开更多

Iturin A was produced by indigenous bacterial strain Bacillus subtilis RB14-CS through glass column reactor (GCR) under solid state fermentation (SSF) was characterized. The enhanced iturin A production was observed with respect to enhanced substrate bed height when SSF was conducted in Erlenmeyer flask. To check the effect of substrate bed height on iturin A production under SSF of okara, GCR was introduced. Substrate bed height of 15 cm was suitable for iturin A production which was about 2700 mg/kg wet substrate. The observed iturin A production by the aerobic bacteria Bacillus subtilis in nearly anaerobic condition in such high substrate bed for SSF is a wonderful finding for development of SSF system in future.展开更多

As glasses are one of the potential fast ion-conducting electrolytes, progressive advances in glassy electrolytes have been undergoing to get commercial attention. However, the challenges offered by ionic conductivity at room temperature (10<sup>−5</sup> - 10<sup>−3</sup> S∙cm<sup>−1</sup>) in comparison to those of organic liquid electrolytes (10<sup>−2</sup> S∙cm<sup>−1</sup>) hindered the applicability of such electrolytes. To enhance the research development on ionic conductivity, the overall picture of the ionic conductivity of glassy electrolytes is reviewed in this article with a focus on alkali oxide and sulfide glasses. We portray here the techniques applied for alkali ion conductivity enhancement, such as methods of glass preparation, host optimization, doping, and salt addition for enhancing alkali ionic conductivity in the glasses.展开更多

Fracture toughness of disk specimen with a straight-through crack was measured under biaxial tension and uniaxial tension loads respectively. The difference between them and the reasons for the difference are discussed. The influence of the stress parallel to crack on fracture of brittle material was demonstrated in theory and experiments. The results show that plane stress fracture toughness of glass is not a material constant. and that the fracture toughness measured in biaxial tension state is higher than that measured under uniaxial tension. The conventional fracture criterion upon the stress intensity factor is questioned in the case of biaxial stress problem, and the strain dependence of crack growth is discussed.展开更多
