  2. Strength of glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_glass

    Glass fibers have a much higher tensile strength than regular glass (200-500 times stronger than regular glass). [7] This is due to the reduction of flaws in glass fibers [8] and the small cross sectional area of glass fibers, constraining maximum defect size.

  3. Poly(methyl methacrylate) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poly(methyl_methacrylate)

    PMMA is also known as acrylic, acrylic glass, as well as by the trade names and brands Crylux, Hesalite, Plexiglas, Acrylite, Lucite, and Perspex, among several others . This plastic is often used in sheet form as a lightweight or shatter-resistant alternative to glass. It can also be used as a casting resin, in inks and coatings, and for many ...

  4. Scientists made see-through wood that's stronger than glass - AOL

    The result is a material that is both stronger and more insulating than glass, with better biodegradability than plastic. "We were very surprised by how transparent it could go," said Liangbing Hu ...

  5. Synthetic resin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_resin

    Synthetic casting "resin" for embedding display objects in Plexiglas/Lucite is simply methyl methacrylate liquid, into which a polymerization catalyst is added and mixed, causing it to "set" (polymerize). The polymerization creates a block of PMMA plastic ("acrylic glass") which holds the display object inside a transparent block.

  6. Transparent wood composite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparent_wood_composite

    In 2021 researchers reported a way to manufacture transparent wood lighter and stronger than glass that requires substantially smaller amounts of chemicals and energy than methods used before. The thin wood produced with "solar-assisted chemical brushing" is claimed to be lighter and about 50 times stronger than wood treated with previous ...

  7. Tempered glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempered_glass

    Tempered glass is about four times stronger than annealed glass. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The more rapid contraction of the outer layer during manufacturing induces compressive stresses in the surface of the glass balanced by tensile stresses in the body of the glass.
