Surface Chemistry Of Si02 And Ti02-Si02 Glasses As Determined By Titration Of Soot Particles

Surface charge is a critical issue for various types of glass processing including surface finishing (polishing) and cleaning. Unlike monomeric silicic acid with a pKa of 9.8, glass surfaces can have variable pKa values as determined by extent of Si-O-Si bonding, composition, and structure. The purpose of this study was to determine the surface charge, point of zero charge, and pKa's for high purity fused SiO2 and TiO2-SiO2 glasses.
