“…These findings suggest that the presence of Bi 2 O 3 can significantly affect the structure and properties of glasses and highlight the importance of studying its behavior in glass systems. The crystallization behavior of Bi 2 O 3 -30 B 2 O 3 -20 ZnO glasses for brazing [23], the effect of Bi 2 O 3 content on glass transition temperature and glass structure [24], the formation of nanocrystals by heat treatment in Bi 2 O 3 -B 2 O 3 -ZnO systems [25], and the synthesis of lead-free low-melting glasses due to the weak bonding of Bi 2 O 3 [26,27] or their combinations [28] as electrons in the glass network have been reported. The thermal properties of (70 − x) ZnO-30 B 2 O 3 -xBi 2 O 3 (x = 10, 15, 20, 40, 50, 60) were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC, LABSYS evo, Setaram Instruments, Mougins, France) analysis, depending on the composition, to determine the best glass stability in BiO 2 -based lead-free cloisonne glaze systems.…”
