  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.

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

    Many other products (for example, guitars) are sometimes made with acrylic glass to make the commonly opaque objects translucent. Perspex has been used as a surface to paint on, for example by Salvador Dalí. Diasec is a process which uses acrylic glass as a substitute for normal glass in picture frames.

  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. Picture framing glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picture_framing_glass

    Low-iron, or water white glass, is made using special iron free silica, and is generally only available in 2.0 millimetres (0.079 in) thicknesses for picture framing applications. Because low iron glass light absorption can be as low as 0.5%, compared to about 2% for clear glass, the light transmission will be better than clear glass. Low iron ...

    Researchers at the University of Maryland were able pull away color and chemicals from a block of wood to leave it impressively see-through. The result is a material that is both stronger and more ...

    Acrylic resin, a group of related thermoplastic or thermosetting plastic substances; Acrylic fiber, a synthetic fiber of polyacrylonitrile; Acrylic paint, fast-drying paint containing pigment suspension in acrylic polymer emulsion; Poly(methyl methacrylate), also known as acrylic glass or Plexiglass, a transparent thermoplastic

  8. List of physical properties of glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_physical...

    Unless stated otherwise, the properties of fused silica (quartz glass) and germania glass are derived from the SciGlass glass database by forming the arithmetic mean of all the experimental values from different authors (in general more than 10 independent sources for quartz glass and T g of germanium oxide glass). The list is not exhaustive.

  9. Glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass

    The density of glass varies with chemical composition with values ranging from 2.2 grams per cubic centimetre (2,200 kg/m 3) for fused silica to 7.2 grams per cubic centimetre (7,200 kg/m 3) for dense flint glass. [69] Glass is stronger than most metals, with a theoretical tensile strength for pure, flawless glass estimated at 14 to 35 ...
