Table 2 Properties of the glasses determined with pycnometry (pyc), dilatometry (dil), DSC, and hot-stage microscopy (HSM). Tg - onset of the glass transition; Td - dilatometric softening temperature; α300–500 - technical coefficient of thermal expansion between 300 and 500 °C; αreg - coefficient of thermal expansion determined by the slope of a linear fit of the dilatation curve between 200 and 500 °C; TFS - sintering onset (first shrinkage); TMS - end of sintering (maximum shrinkage). The values of the sample Sr-08 are reported in ref. 17.
