- In industrial glass: Phase separation
…the nucleated droplet and the spinodal; the microstructures produced by these two mechanisms, as revealed by electron microscopy, are shown in Figure 4. In Figure 4A the interface between the droplets and the matrix is sharp, owing to a sharp change in composition. With time the droplets increase in size…

The spinodal mechanism described in Glass formation: Phase separation is at the heart of the trademarked Vycor process for obtaining a glass of 96 percent silica and 4 percent sodium borate. A sodium borosilicate melt is allowed to separate into two continuous, intertwined matrices of glass,…
