Dataset: Mechanical, thermal, and structural investigations of chemically strengthened Na2O–CaO–Al2O3–SiO2 glasses

Chemical strengthening is being investigated with the purpose to get a better understanding for the complex mechanisms of the process and in the future create thinner and stronger glass for a sustainable and resource efficient society. We investigated the effect of alumina doping on thermal, mechanical, and structural properties of a conventional soda lime silicate glass before and after ion exchange strengthening. The techniques to measure properties were: - 23Na and 27Al Magic Angle Spinning Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (MAS NMR) - Scattered light polariscope - Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) - Nanoindentation - Microindentation More detailed information can be found in the documentation-readme file.
