Degradation of glasses begins with structural and compositional changes at the glass-water interfaces and includes hydrolysis reactions and cation inter-diffusion. This is commonly known as stage 1 dissolution and the rate is a forward or initial dissolution rate. This session will focus on the immediate effect of water on glass surfaces, which includes but is not limited to mechanisms of hydroxylation, hydrolysis reactions, interdiffusion of ions and hydronium ions in and out of the glass surface, and incorporation of water into the glass matrix. Studies which focus on glass surface and water reaction mechanisms, interfacial structures and transport behaviors using either computational or experimental methodologies are particularly encouraged.
