Fiberglass and Glass Technology Energy-Friendly Compositions and Applications / [electronic resource] : edited by Frederick T. Wallenberger, Paul A. Bingham. - online resource.

Continuous Glass Fibers -- Commercial and Experimental Glass Fibers -- Design of Energy-Friendly Glass Fibers -- Composite Design and Engineering -- Glass Fibers for Printed Circuit Boards -- High-Strength Glass Fibers and Markets -- Soda-Lime-Silica Glasses -- Compositions of Industrial Glasses -- Design of New Energy-Friendly Compositions -- Glass Melting Technology -- Basics of Melting and Glass Formation -- Thermodynamics of Glass Melting -- Glass Melt Stability -- Plasma Melting Technology and Applications.

Fiberglass and Glass Technology: Energy-Friendly Compositions and Applications provides a detailed overview of fiber, float and container glass technology with special emphasis on energy- and environmentally-friendly compositions, applications and manufacturing practices which have recently become available and continue to emerge. Energy-friendly compositions are variants of incumbent fiberglass and glass compositions that are obtained by the reformulation of incumbent compositions to reduce the viscosity and thereby the energy demand. Environmentally-friendly compositions are variants of incumbent fiber, float and container glass compositions that are obtained by the reformulation of incumbent compositions to reduce environmentally harmful emissions from their melts. Energy- and environmentally-friendly compositions are expected to become a key factor in the future for the fiberglass and glass industries. This book consists of two complementary sections: continuous glass fiber technology and soda-lime-silica glass technology. Important topics covered include: o Commercial and experimental compositions and products o Design of energy- and environmentally-friendly compositions o Emerging glass melting technologies including plasma melting o Fiberglass composite design and engineering o Emerging fiberglass applications and markets Fiberglass and Glass Technology: Energy-Friendly Compositions and Applications is written for researchers and engineers seeking a modern understanding of glass technology and the development of future products that are more energy- and environmentally-friendly than current products.
