Materials scientists from the University of Bayreuth in Germany have developed a new material from the glass category with a record price of 1.99 MPa (he was 2.6 years old, with Gorilla Glass – 1st Ed. Tech.). According to this parameter, it passes to transparent aluminum, it is also aluminum oxynitride, the commercial name is ALON, the strength of which is 2.00 MPa. However, both of these substances go into AM-III, which is the same fullerene glass.
The complexity of describing the porous glass itself in the world is connected with the interpretation of the very concept of “glass”. These terms refer to materials that are very different in nature, but with common effects. Thus, transparent aluminum can be placed in a spray of aluminum, oxygen and nitrogen atoms in a transparent sauce. This oxidized aluminum is heated up to 1650-1850℃ in the atmosphere, hot and cold ohm.
The Bayreuth researchers took oxide glass oil, mixed it with aluminosilicate, then heated the mixture at 1000°C while maintaining a pressure of 10-15 GPa. The result was a substance with a paracrystalline structure, which is very similar to that in ALON, and provides a record-breaking strength of the material. The main difference is that aluminosilicate glass is formed by replacing nitrogen with boron.
To create AM-III, Chinese scientists heated fullerene to 1200 ℃ at a pressure of 25 GPa, without stretching it for about 12 hours. A glass with a Vickers hardness of 113 GPa was obtained, despite the fact that in most cases of diamonds its composition is only 70-110 GPa. This substance can be called the most durable glass in the world, although in structure it is not at all the same “glass” as aluminosilicate or aluminum ceramics.
