Abstract
Glass properties are governed by the interplay between network formers and network modifiers; for a given composition of network formers, the ratio of different cationic modifiers compensating the anionic species in the network has a profound effect, which is often nonlinear, called a mixed modifier effect (MME). We have investigated the MME of sodium (Na) and calcium (Ca) in an aluminosilicate (NCAS) glass series following the formula [Na2O]30−x [CaO]x [Al2O3]10 [SiO2]60, where x = 0, 7.5, 15, 22.5, and 30. A nonadditive trend was observed in hardness and indentation toughness, with aqueous corrosion resistance exhibiting a shift from incongruent to congruent corrosion, whereas the network structure determined by molecular dynamics simulations revealed no significant trend with composition. Additionally, the NCAS glass containing both [Na2O] and [CaO] within an intermediate range exhibited superior resistance to wear at high humidity, a clear MME phenomenon previously only observed in soda–lime silica.
