| With maximum light capture being a major part of the design brief, the new John and Frances Angelos Law Center, the home of the University of Baltimore School of Law, is a fascinating example of how DuPont™ SentryGlas® can be deployed for both functional and aesthetic purposes.
| Differently from traditional structural materials, the structural behaviour of laminated glasses exhibits some anomalies due to the difference in the stressstrain laws of their components: glass is a brittle material, while PVB and SGP are thermoplastic materials with a visco-elastic behaviour.
| Laminated glasses consist of two or more glass sheets bonded together with plastic interlayers. The lamination gives to LGs a safer behaviour than monolithic glasses, avoiding injuries to people in case of breakage.
| DuPont™ SentryGlas® provides high resistance to temperature and humidity on facade for Sowwah Square towers in Abu Dhabi
| At Arup, working with different specialists creates many opportunities to learn from each other. Sometimes one forgets that engineers who know everything about dark matters as climatic loads in glass or intricacies of structural silicone may not have a clue about the acoustic performance of a window
| Breakage patterns, residual stress, and fractured surfaces on tempered glasses are investigated to find the correlation among glass thickness, tempered level, and the number of fragments, particularly when the glass thickness is less than 4 mm.
| Will glass break if window film is installed to glazing?
| The Planar | DuPont SentryGlas system represents the latest advance in frameless glazing, providing architects, designers, glazing contractors and building owners with enhanced strength, safety, security and durability.

| SSV tested thousands of glass panes from 2000 according to the European Standards for thermally toughened safety glass EN 12150 and according to EN 1863 for heat strengthened glass.
| The new headquarters of one of the Worlds largest fashion groups features a glass curtain wall that combines the established benefits of DuPont SentryGlas interlayer with the new architectural fabric, SEFAR Architecture Vision, for a stunning visual effect.
| Previously, toughened safety glass; now, laminated safety glass: A cost-efficient new facade at the Fraunhofer headquarters in Munich was made possible by using laminated safety glass made with strong, stiff DuPont™ SentryGlas® interlayer, allowing re-use of the existing support structure.
| Energy savings are an essential part of any new or renovated building. These can be obtained by means of insulation, special glazing and the use of particular materials.
| Benefits of the tempered glazing are well known and the tempered glazing is being utilized more and more in many different applications. Manufacturing technology in this area of safety glazing is developing fast.
| PVB is increasingly assuming the leading role among alternative encapsulation materials for solar cells as the alternatives to Ethylene-Vinyl-Acetate (EVA)
| The article written by Mr. László Vákár and presented at the GPD 2009.Air pollution is high on the political agenda worldwide. Emissions have to be reduced.
| In recent years, not only have architects discovered laminated safety glass as a building material, but they have also learnt to better exploit its exceptional structural and design performance.
| This information introduces the concept of thermal stress which may be induced in glass as a result of exposure to solar radiation.
| During the past 15 years tempering of bent glass has mainly changed to horizontal methods.
| The current manufacturing of tempered glass is a complex as well as time- and cost-intensive process. Not only long processing times, but also high energy costs have a significant impact.
| We are all wondering what the future will bring. How much will computers improve? Will the global economy boom or bust? Will the mankind explore the space?
