The discovery of the float glass process followed by curtain wall glazing systems resulted in the integration of huge areas of glass products in the design of several large buildings. However, the ...

A process of providing controlled defects in glass (Figure 1) can be employed to help the research and evaluation of methods to enhance the glass fracture resistance. The effect of different ...

A Dutch research group has used a series of techniques from the automotive industry to develop a novel methodology to repair glass in double-glass solar panels. Their experimental work represents the ...

In a crystal, structural defects such as dislocations or twins are well defined and largely determine the mechanical and other properties. These defects can be easily identified as the broken ...

IN attempts to explain the process of coloration of glass by γ-radiation, it was suggested in a previous communication 1 that electrons are trapped in defects to form colour centres. Not only do these ...

In 2018, DuPont added data from glass-glass installations to its Global Field Survey results for the first time. And in a way, the results undermine some long-held assumptions about glass-glass ...

SCHOTT has run a series of line tests to prove the efficacy and efficiency of its modular EVERIC product concepts against vial breakage. The results show a great increase in glass strength. | ...

One of the cheapest components on any car – the connector which provides the interface between glass mounted systems such as heating elements and antennas and the vehicle’s electrical supply – has the ...

Restoring a wedge-shaped defect? You may not want to use glass ionomer cement (GIC). A new study found that the cement was not as clinically effective as similar restorative materials for these ...
