The Influence of Titanium Dioxide on Silicate-Based Glasses: An Evaluation of the Mechanical and Radiation Shielding Properties.

The mechanical and radiation shielding features were reported for a quaternary NaO-CaO-SiO-TiO glass system used in radiation protection. The fundamentals of the Makishima-Mazinize model were applied to evaluate the elastic moduli of the glass samples. The elastic moduli, dissociation energy, and packing density increased as TiO increased.
