Oxynitride glass fibers. Patent Application

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6148106

This invention relates to the production of high-elastic-modulus, high-strength, corrosion-resistant oxynitride glass-fibers for improved fiber-reinforced composites. The incorporation of nitrogen into silicon-yttrium-aluminum oxide glasses enhances the properties of bulk glass. This invention is the first demonstation that such glasses can be made into fibers. The addition of nitrogen to pratically any oxide glass fiber composition will produce improvements in properties similar to those shown for the silicon-yttrium-aluminum system.
