| Abstract: | Both boron and silicon were detected on the surface of porous glass. Infrared and adsorption data show five or six times more boron in the surface than can be expected from chemical analysis of the porous glass. It is suggested that the excess of boron in the surface occurs during the leaching of the base glass. |
