Stephane Gin investigates the reaction of glass with water and the mechanisms controlling its long-term corrosion. His work on borosilicate glasses examines why reaction can slow to a residual rate as the material and surrounding solution evolve.[ref]
The problem couples chemical equilibrium, transport and the structure of alteration products. A low measured release rate does not by itself identify which process limits reaction, making controlled solution conditions and characterization of the reacting material essential.
