| The present work presents the investigation of historical glass and glass constructions in a suburb of Dresden.
| Laminating glass together with a PVB or ionoplast interlayer can help mitigate security threats that range from smash and grab burglary, forced entry, ballistics, to even bomb blast.
| A novel approach to generate a flat plate with enhanced stiffness has been identified. This approach is scalable, offering the potential for improved stiffness for both large-format glass and thin, chemically tempered glass.
| With increasing concern over plant conservation, there has been a renewed interest in large-scale, enclosed botanical garden structures.
| This paper seeks to understand the outstanding questions around the potential carbon consequences and benefits of using insulating glass units (IGU) in facades.
| A way to determine the condition and functionality of a glass furnace is to measure the glass temperature as it exits the furnace.
| The new complete metrology scanner after furnace exit and its capabilities for furnace optimization and quality control.
| The authors present results achieved in a roll-to-roll deposition process of vanadium oxide on flexible glass of 0.1 mm thickness.
| Curved glass is fundamental in advanced architecture which incorporates a magnitude of glass with organic forms throughout these cutting-edge design structures.
| In the latest Glastory blog post, Antti Aronen analyzes the transformative potential of automated glass tempering.
| Glass is a brittle material. After the stress due to loading exceeds the resistance, a breakage occurs, and the glass is no longer intact.
| Spontaneous breakage of fully tempered glass in facades is under control today when the heat soak process according to EN 14179-1 (2006/2016) is rigorously carried out.
