The interdiffusion mechanism governing the leaching (or hydration) of glasses is studied using the /sup 19/F resonant nuclear reaction. By measuring the number of hydrogen ions in the surface layers of leached glasses, we have identified that a hydronium-sodium ion exchange process is in operation in leached commercial glasses while it is less conclusive as to the exact mechanism responsible for the leaching of simple laboratory binary and ternary glasses.
