CLASSIFICATION OF ELECTRODE GLASSES INCLUDING STRUCTURAL PARAMETERS

Cluster Analysis has been shown to be partially suitable for the class ification of glasses. The expansion of the clusters on the Seger's dia gram allows an investigation of the influence of the different glass c omponents. Variation of the SiO2 content results in a smaller change o f properties than variation of the Na2O/RO relationship. Principal Com ponent Analysis is convenient for showing correlations between the com position of the examined glasses, the glass structure parameters, and the different electrode properties.
