Thermochemical Stability and Mechanical Properties of Ceramic-Filler Added BaO-ZnO-B2O3 Based Glass for Application to Barrier Rib in Plasma Display Panels

초록

Feasibility of BaO-ZnO-B2O3 (BZB) based glass system in the light of dielectric and thermal expansion properties are reported in the literature. Effects of various types of ceramic fillers to the BZB-based glass on the thermochemical stability and mechanical properties were investigated in the present work. The studied filler-glass system demonstrated a capability to host varius types of ceramic fillers to form thermochemically stable microcomposites at the processing temperature suitable for PDPsystems. At the same time, mechanical strength of the filler-glass composites was much improved as compared to the glass itself. These observations brighten the feasibility of the pb-free BZB-based glass system as a host to employ various types of crystalling ceramic fillers so that in can be applied to barrier rib material in plasma display panels.
