Introduction
The term glass developed in the late Roman Empire. It was in the Roman glassmaking center at Trier, Germany, that
the late-Latin term glesum originated, probably from a
Germanic word for a transparent, lustrous substance.
Nowadays, Glass plays an essential role in various
scientific fields and in industry.

What is the glass?
• Glass is a hard material, normally fragile and transparent that is obtained by melting at about 1500 Â ° C Salice sand (SiO2), sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and limestone (CaCO3).
• The noun "glass" is used frequently as a synonym of crystal, but is incorrect because the glass is an amorphous solid and not a crystal itself.

Properties of glass
The thermal, optical, electrical and chemical properties of glass vary with
its composition.
![Page 7: Glass Isabel piscitelli](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062405/557d9032d8b42ad6698b4f4e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Properties of glass
• Glass is a good thermal conductor. Glass is an electrically insulating material: it does not conduct electricity.
![Page 8: Glass Isabel piscitelli](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062405/557d9032d8b42ad6698b4f4e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Properties of galss
• When light falls on glass, part of the light is reflected at the surface, part of the light is absorbed in the glass, and part of the light is transmitted.
• If most of the light is transmitted, the glass is transparent. By colouring the glass or changing its composition, it is possible to transmit selectively some wavelengths of the spectrum.

Properties of glass
• Common glass does not transmit ultra-violet radiation (short wavelengths): you will not get a tan behind a window! However it does transmit infrared radiation (long wavelengths): this is why it is always hot behind a glass window.

History
• Glass was first used for items of jewelery, in Ancient Times. Crafters would add different minerals to glass when it melt, to have a wide range of colors!
• Later on, the Romans invented the blowing technique, that allowed the production of glass containers. However, it was a very primitive and inefficient technique
• In the Middle Ages, glass was used in Cathedrals in different colors! They also started to be manufacture for optical instruments.
• It developed as a very popular material, using it in bottles, glasses, mirrors and other devices, with consequent improvement in quality of life.

How they do it?
• Answer: through melting, shaping and Glassblowing
• Glassblowing is the process of creating artistic glass works through the manipulation of molten glass.

Diferents types
The six basic types of glass considered here are:
• Soda-lime glass (also called lime glass)
• most common glass. It is made of oxides of silicon (SiO2), calcium (CaO) and sodium(Na2O).
• cheap to make and can be made into a wide variety of shapes; medium resistance to high temperatures and sudden changes of temperature, fair resistance to corrosive chemicals.
• used to make bottles and windows.
![Page 20: Glass Isabel piscitelli](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062405/557d9032d8b42ad6698b4f4e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Lead-alkali glass (also called lead glass) • lead oxide (PbO) is used in place of calcium oxide. • more expensive than soda-lime glass; excellent electrical
insulating properties; poor resistance to high temperatures and sudden changes of temperature.
• used for electrical applications.
Borosilicate glass • appreciable resistance to high temperature or sudden changes in
temperature; medium resistance to chemical attack. Moderate cost to make.
• used for light bulbs, photochromic glasses, sealed-beam headlights, laboratory ware, and some bake ware products.

Alumino-silicate glass • alumina (Al2O3) is added to the glass batch to improve the
properties of the glass. • good resistance to high temperature or sudden changes in
temperature; difficult to make. • used in electronics.

• Ninety-six percent silica glass • special type of glass made by a proprietary
method, at temperatures up to 900°C. • used to furnace sight glasses, for outer
windows on space vehicles. • Fused silica glass
• only made of silicon dioxide (SiO2) in the noncrystalline state.
• expensive and difficult to make; maximum resistance to high temperature (900°C for extended periods, 1200°C for short periods).
• used in special applications such as optical waveguides,
crucibles for growing crystals.

Advantages• Strength of Glass
• Glass is a strong material. Like most materials, glass can be bent until a certain limit. Imagine bending a long rod of glass. If you release the tension before this limit, the rod returns to its original shape: the deformation is elastic.If you pass the limit, the glass breaks.
• Why does glass shatter? The strength of glass is only slightly affected by composition but is highly dependent on the surface condition. If stress is applied on the damaged surface, the stress at the damaged points will be increased and the glass will shatter. Glass does not age quickly: glass windows remain clear and undamaged after many years of exposure to the elements.

Colouring Glass
• Unless the raw materials are very pure, glass is normally green. In order to change the colour of glass, one can decolourise the glass by adding colorants which produce the complementary colour to green.
• The colour depends on the state of oxidation of the colorant, the composition of the glass and the thermal treatment.

Uses
From a natural mineral created by the volcanic furnaces to a luxury
material, glass has now become a commodity.
We use glass every day of our lives; we are surrounded by
glass...

Glass is also used to create objects of art

Uses• Glass, in the form of optical fibre, has some
important applications in medicine. An endoscope is a flexible tube with both a light source and a camera lens for viewing at its end. Tiny surgical tools can also be manipulated through the endoscope to perform non-invasive surgery.The endoscope provides a visual examination of the interior of the body through a natural body opening such as the throat or through a small incision into the body.

Recycling• First, glass items are distributed and used. Glass is
present everywhere!• Once the glass item has been used and deposited for
recycling, a process that will make a new glass item from the old one begins! The glass is separated from dirt or any strange matter. The product of this operation is transported to glass treatment plants for the development of new glass.
• Finally, it’s mixed with sand, soda, lime and melted at 1500 degrees centigrade. After the glass is homogenized to liquid state, it is dropped in a Mold, which will shape the new item exactly as the original

Glass in architecture
“If we want our culture to rise to a higher level, we are obligated for better or for worse, to change our architecture. And this only becomes possible if we take away the closed character
from the rooms in which we live. We can only do that by introducing glass architecture, which lets in the light of the
sun, the moon, and the stars”. Bruno Taut

Glass in architecture• While the use of glass in construction was limited to grand
designs and office buildings, it is starting to become a core structural and design element in many homes.
• Glass use in construction has increased because of improvements in technology it is now produced to be safer, energy efficient and stronger. Take a look at the Glass Bridge in Guilin, China!
The Glass Bridge in Guilin, from the Zhuang Authonomous Region of China, is the only one of its kind in the World! It
was built with the purpose of being an ornament. It is strictly forbidden to cross the bridge!
• Glass can also be used more traditionally in facades, display windows, entrances or revolving doors.
