Abstract

Amorphous powders in the Cs2O–Al2O3−SiO2 system were prepared by sol-gel processing. Gels made from TEOS, Al-chelate, and Cs-acetate were dried and calcined to obtain molecularly mixed powders of analyzed compositions in the range useful for conversion to pollucite (CsAlSi2O6) glass-ceramics. X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermogravimetry (TG), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the powders. A typical amorphous powder of analyzed chemical composition (in wt.%) = 28.05Cs2O, 37.77SiO2, and 37.96Al2O3 was found to have a glass transition temperature of 945 °C and a glass crystallization temperature of 1026 °C. Preliminary experimental results of densification and crystallization of the amorphous powders show pollucite/mullite phases to be present.
