History of Glass
 The
word glass is derived from a late-Latin term
glaesum, used to refer to a lustrous a transparent material.
 Another word often used to refer to glassy substances is
vitreous, originating from the Latin word vitrum.
 Luster
or shine and in particular its durability when
exposed to the elements of nature, were probably the
most significant properties of glass recognised by early
civilisations.

The Beginnings of Glass Technology
The earliest written records of glass making are some famous
clay tablets, dating from around 650 BC, from the library of
Assur-bani-pal, but these are incompletely understood because
we have no dictionary to explain the technical terms.
Many centuries passed before written accounts of glass
making contained any useful insight besides recipes to be
followed by rote.
The earliest development in glass making of which we have a
reasonably documented description seems to be the invention
of glass of lead by Ravenscroft around 1673-1676.

What is Glass?
A glass is a solid that possesses no long-range atomic
order and which undergoes the glass transformation from
solid to supercooled liquid on heating.
Crystalline materials have a definite structure, whereas amorphous
ones do not, and therefore only rather general statements can be
made about a material which, when hot, is ductile but when cold is
brittle, and fractures if there is a sudden change of temperature.

What is Glass?
Glass is a very
brittle material
Glass is a linear elastic and
isotropic material with no
plastic behavior at normal
temperatures, which can
explain its brittle fracture. It
follows Hooke’s law.

Float Glass
Annealed glass
Annealed (“ordinary”) glass is the end product of the float glass process.
It is carefully cooled through the range of temperatures where the glass
solidifies so that no residual stresses develop.
Float glass is made using a bath of molten tin, where molten glass is floated
along the surface. The perfectly flat surface of the tin is transferred to the
glass.
Advantages
 Low cost

LEAD GLASSES
Leaded Stained Glass Windows
Materials
Materialsin

Practice
This type of glass has been mixed with lead-rich
materials while molten; lead replaces the calcium
content of a typical glass. Lead glass has a long
history. The earliest known example with lead oxide
additives is a blue glass fragment from Nippur
dated to 1400 BC. Leaded stained glass was first
used in medieval Europe as a base for colored
glass. This glass was used in mosaic tiles,
enamels, stained glass painting, and to imitate
precious stones. Lead oxide was used to create
enamel for vessels and windows because of its
lower working temperature. By the 17th century
George Ravenscroft produced the first clear lead
glass on a large sale. Taking advantage of his
merchant class status, Ravenscroft was able to
revolutionize the glass trade and shifted England
into the leader as a leaded glass innovator.
Scotland, especially Glasgow, became the world
center for creating leaded glass windows and
glassware. Lead glass in your home’s windows will
not cause lead poisoning. However, it is still not
safe to lick, chew, or eat your leaded glass
windows. As long as you adhere to those rules, you
will not risk lead poisoning.

Laminated Glass
2 sheets of glass are bonded with a thin
film of plastic such as polyvinyl
butyrate under pressure at a
temperature of about 100°C
Laminated glass is a kind of safety
glass which is combined from one
or more layers of PVB through
heating and pressing processes
by autoclave.
The sandwiched plastic bonds well to
the 2 glass surfaces and helps absorb
energy in impacts, stops glass
shattering and disintegrating if
stressed to failure so that it often
remains secure and weatherproof.
This provides a high degree of
resistance to injury from flying glass in
case of impact.

Laminated Windscreen Glass
If the laminated glass is made from “ordinary” float glass, it
is still workable (cutting and drilling is possible) and the PVB
helps the fractured glass to stay put inside the construction.

BULLETPROOF GLASS
Bulletproof glass is made of laminated
glasses and films which have special
shielding capability towards bullets.
The different levels of bullet proof glasses
are able to shield the bullets from
penetration and prevent the broken parts
from injuring people. They are widely
applied in
bank,
counters of jewelry and gold shops,
cash trucks and
other regions requiring special safety
prevention.

Tempered glass also know as
toughened glass is made by quickly
cooling the annealed glass when it
is heated near compression is
formed over the glass surface
whiletensile formed inside the glass
plate.
Tempered glass is made by heating
annealed glass to approximately
700C then cooling the outer surfaces
rapidly. This process makes the glass
very strong and shock resistant thus
more durable.
