Insights into the mechanisms controlling the residual corrosion rate of borosilicate glasses
Abstract Borosilicate glasses are widely used to confine high-level radioactive wastes. The lifetime of these materials could reach hundreds of thousands of years if leaching of the glass into groundwater enables the formation of a passivating gel layer. Even in this regime, the glass will never sto...
