  • Patent number: 11136260
    Abstract: The invention relates to a radiopaque glass having a refractive index nd of 1.480 to 1.561, this glass, apart from impurities at most, being free from SrO and PbO. The glass is based on the SiO2, Al2O3 and B2O3 system. The radiopacity can be adjusted using Cs2O in particular in combination with BaO and/or SnO2 optionally in conjunction with fluorine. The glass may be used in particular as dental glass or as optical glass.

  • Patent number: 10301212
    Abstract: The amorphous, or at least partially crystalline, glass-based joining material is suitable for high-temperature applications, particularly in fuel cells and/or sensors. In addition to SiO2 and B2O3 as glass formers, the joining material similarly contains BaO and CaO, whereby the amount of Al2O3 is limited. The joining material has a coefficient of linear thermal expansion of at least 7.0·10?6 K?1 in a range of 20° C. to 300° C. The joining material can be used for joining ferritic high-grade steels and/or chromium-containing alloys and/or ceramics, such as stabilized zirconium oxide and/or aluminium oxide.

  • Patent number: 10214442
    Abstract: Vitreous or at least partly crystallized sealing material is provided. The sealing material is from the system SiO2—B2O3—CaO—MgO, which is free from BaO and/or SrO and which has an improved coefficient of thermal expansion and improved crystallization properties. The sealing material is employed to produce joint connections, electrical feedthroughs, and/or as a barrier layer.
