Tailoring Glass Properties: Why Chemical Composition and Thermal Treatments Matter
Architectural use of glass dates back from the beginning of our era when it was used to make windows. Its range of chemical composition was close to that of current flat or hollow glass, illustrating early optimization of both production process and material properties. In modern buildings glass is...
