The expansion kinetics of cellular glass in the thermoplastic state under the hydrated mechanism of gas formation

Abstract

The problems of extending cellular glass in the pyroplastic state under a hydrated mechanism of gas formation are considered. It is established that the use of water vapor allows varying the product’s properties over wide limits and get ecologically safe materials. It is shown that the volume of gases released during the reaction and the viscosity of the melt are the factors determining the extension of cellular glass. The kinetic characteristics of the extension of the cellular structure of glass in the thermoplastic state are determined.
