ABSTRACT PHYSICAL adsorption should be a fast process, but several glasses have been observed to interact with gases—both inert1 and otherwise2,3—slowly, the process taking a very long time.
During recent investigations into the structure of glass fibres using a selective leaching technique, we have prepared a porous glass, predominantly silica in composition, which exhibits
slow sorption of gases over long periods of time. These sorption properties can be very greatly modified by thermal pretreatment. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a
