In the present work we describe the synthesis, spectroscopy, thermal and chemical durability properties of the vitreous system Li₂O-Nb₂O₅-CaO-P₂O₅ (LNCP). Investigations of the short-range order by Fourier transform infrared, Raman, UV-VIS and ³¹P MAS-NMR spectroscopies suggest that the network former glass consists of Nb octahedra linked to pyro/orthophosphate units through Nb—O—P bonds. The presence of modifier cations (Li⁺ and Ca²⁺) promotes depolymerization of the P—O—P chains, yielding pyro/orthophosphate units. The presence of this kind of structure accounts for the improvement of the chemical durability at low pH when the Nb content in the LNCP glass composition is high. The density and linear refractive indices of LNCP glasses increased linearly as the Nb₂O₅/P₂O₅ molar ratio increased, as a consequence of P₂O₅ substitution by Nb₂O₅ as the glassformer. The dependence of the glass transition temperature, the softening temperature and the crystallization temperature on the Nb₂O₅/P₂O₅ ratio exhibits the same behavior. On the other hand, the thermal expansion coefficient decreases with the increased Nb₂O₅/P₂O₅ ratio.
