Treatment of Lead-Silicate Glasses with Hydrogen Peroxide
摘要
This study investigates the surfaces of lead-silicate glasses and unetched blanks of microchannel plates following mechanical processing. The immersion of the prepared samples in a 33% H2O2 solution increased their optical transparency, while concurrently reducing their mass. We attribute these effects to the removal of organic and organosilicon surface layers formed during mechanical processing.
