<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.<Insights into the mechanisms controlling the residual corrosion rate of borosilicate glasses by Stephane Gin and others>[Abstract: residual reaction rate and passivation mechanisms]{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.
