Abstract

E-glass fabrics are soaked in different normalities of HCl for different time intervals to remove nonsiliceous ions from the network. The effect of selective removal of nonsiliceous ions on volume (electrical) resistivity is studied along with the independent effects of normality of the soaking acid and time of soaking. Also studied are the effect of moisture absorption on electrical resistivity, the effect of post-heat-treatment on electrical resistivity and subsequent moisture absorption on electrical resistivity, correlating the existing mechanisms of electrical conduction in glasses. The amount of nonsiliceous ions removed depends on the normality of the acid and the soaking time. The influence of Na2O and K2O removal on the electrical resistivity is more prominent than the removal of bivalent and trivalent ions such as CaO and Al2O3. Increase in the post-heat-treatment temperature of the fabric increases the electrical resistivity. Porosity occurs in the structure. Increase in the conductivity by water absorption can be explained by polarization of the absorbed water and formation of protons, which act as conducting species.
