Abstract
Previous studies investigating manufacture of phosphate-based glass fibres from glasses fixed with P₂O₅ content less than 50 mol% showed that continuous manufacture without breakage was very difficult. In this study, nine phosphate-based glass formulations from the system P₂O₅-CaO-Na₂O-MgO-B₂O₃ were prepared with P₂O₅ contents fixed at 40, 45 and 50 mol%, where Na₂O was replaced by 5 and 10 mol% B₂O₃ and MgO and CaO were fixed to 24 and 16 mol% ,respectively. The effect of B₂O₃ addition on the fibre drawing, fibre mechanical properties and dissolution behaviour was investigated. It was found that addition of 5 and 10 mol% B₂O₃ enabled successful drawing of continuous fibres from glasses with phosphate (P₂O₅) contents fixed at 40, 45 and 50 mol%. The mechanical properties of the fibres were found to significantly increase with increasing B₂O3 content. The highest tensile strength (1200 130 MPa) was recorded for 45P₂O₅-16CaO-5Na₂O-24MgO-10B₂O₃ glass fibres. The fibres were annealed, and a comparison of the mechanical properties and mode of degradation of annealed and non-annealed fibres were investigated. A decrease in tensile strength and an increase in tensile modulus were observed for the annealed fibres. An assessment of the change in mechanical properties of both the annealed and non-annealed fibres was performed in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) at 37C for 28 and 60 days, respectively. Initial loss of mechanical properties due to annealing was found to be recovered with degradation. The B₂O₃-containing glass fibres were found to degrade at a much slower rate as compared to the non-B₂O₃-containing fibres. Both annealed and non-annealed fibres exhibited a peeling effect of the fibre’s outer layer during degradation.
