Strengthening Potentials of Lithium‐Doped Soda–Lime–Silicate Glasses Through Surface Crystallization of Quartz‐ss

International Journal of Applied Glass Science, Volume 17, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The formation of a crystallized surface layer, having a lower coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) than the parent glass, can be exploited to place the glass surface under compression during cooling from crystallization temperature and hence improve mechanical properties.
