  2. 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.

  3. Tempered glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempered_glass

    Tempered or toughened glass is a type of safety glass processed by controlled thermal or chemical treatments to increase its strength compared with normal glass. Tempering puts the outer surfaces into compression and the interior into tension .

  4. Glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass

    Glass can be coloured by adding metal salts or painted and printed with vitreous enamels, leading to its use in stained glass windows and other glass art objects. The refractive, reflective and transmission properties of glass make glass suitable for manufacturing optical lenses, prisms, and optoelectronics materials.

  5. Safety glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety_glass

    As a result of its safety and strength, tempered glass is used in a variety of demanding applications, including passenger vehicle windows, shower doors, architectural glass doors and tables, refrigerator trays, as a component of bulletproof glass, for diving masks, and various types of plates and cookware. In the United States, since 1977 ...

  6. Borosilicate glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borosilicate_glass

    Borosilicate glass is a type of glass with silica and boron trioxide as the main glass-forming constituents. Borosilicate glasses are known for having very low coefficients of thermal expansion (≈3 × 10 −6 K −1 at 20 °C), making them more resistant to thermal shock than any other common glass.

  7. Structure of liquids and glasses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structure_of_liquids_and...

    The study of liquid and glass structure aims to gain insight into their behavior and physical properties, so that they can be understood, predicted and tailored for specific applications. Since the structure and resulting behavior of liquids and glasses is a complex many body problem , historically it has been too computationally intensive to ...

  8. Chemically strengthened glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemically_strengthened_glass

    Similarly, when the surface of chemically strengthened glass is deeply scratched, this area loses its additional strength. Another negative of chemically strengthened glass is the added cost. While tempered glass can be made cheaply through the fabrication process, chemically strengthened glass has a more expensive route to the market. These ...

  9. Soda–lime glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soda–lime_glass

    The manufacturing process for soda–lime glass consists in melting the raw materials, which are the silica, soda (Na 2 O), hydrated lime (Ca(OH) 2), dolomite (CaMg(CO 3) 2, which provides the magnesium oxide), and aluminium oxide; along with small quantities of fining agents (e.g., sodium sulfate (Na 2 SO 4), sodium chloride (NaCl), etc.) in a glass furnace at temperatures locally up to 1675 ...
