The variation of the structure of E-glass with fictive temperature has been examined with high resolution, multinuclear (B-11, Al-27 Si-29, O-17, and F-19) MAS NMR. The previously observed decrease in 4-coordinated boron with increasing fictive temperature is confirmed and, for the first time, is directly correlated with an increase in non-bridging oxygens. An increase in 5-coordinated Al is also observed, and is linked to an increase in association of F with Al at higher fictive temperature. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
