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. [2]

3. Resin casting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resin_casting

   Epoxy resin has a lower viscosity than polyurethane resin [citation needed]; polyester resin also shrinks markedly while curing. [1] Acrylic resin, in particular the methyl methacrylate type of synthetic resin, produces acrylic glass (also called PMMA, Lucite, Plexiglass), which is not a glass but a plastic polymer that is transparent, and very ...

4. Cast acrylic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cast_acrylic

   Cast acrylic has a better ability to be reworked hot and it is known for its superior surface finish and optical properties. Also cast acrylic is more scratch resistant than extruded acrylic. Cast acrylic is also preferred over extruded in applications that require machinings, such as turning on Engine Lathe or milling/drilling.

5. 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 ...

6. Strengthening mechanisms of materials - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strengthening_mechanisms...

   Strengthening of materials is useful in many applications. A primary application of strengthened materials is for construction. In order to have stronger buildings and bridges, one must have a strong frame that can support high tensile or compressive load and resist plastic deformation.

7. 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 ...
