Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the opaque glass which can maintain an opaque state even if the surface is wet with water since the glass contains may holes therein by subjecting the glass to a perforation treatment in a sintering stage, then stopping the sintering before the glass becomes transparent at the time of forming the glass by a sol-gel method. CONSTITUTION:Fine particles of SiO2, B2O3, Na2O, and K2O are mixed with a soln. obtd. by hydrolyzing ethyl silicate with an acidic catalyst and are thoroughly dispersed therein. The pH of the dispersion is then adjusted and the liquid is poured into a vessel where the liquid is gelatinized to form the wet gel. The dry gel obtd. by drying the wet gel is sintered and vitrified. The sintering is executed in the following manner: The dry gel is gradually heated up and after the holes are internally opened, the gel is heated up by 20 deg.C and is held for 30 minutes, following which the gel is slowly cooled. As a result, the gel does not becomes transparent and the desired opaque glass contg. the many holes therein is obtd.
