Ancient Chinese glass resembles foreign glass in appearance but differs in chemical composition, which is further altered by weathering, thereby complicating the classification of artefacts. According ...

The alteration of a four-oxide alumino-borosilicate glass close to International Simple Glass (ISG) was studied in Si saturation conditions at pH 3, pH 7, and pH 9 using solution and post mortem solid ...

Like other materials that have been known and used for millennia, glass is sometimes taken for granted. Yet this age-old material plays a central role in numerous applications—and not just classic ...

Elemental analysis of glass helps us to uncover chemical compositions, therefore its applications are vast. These include quality control, production diagnosis, material verification, and more. This ...

Glass is formed when a molten material is cooled so quickly that its constituent atoms do not have time to align themselves into an ordered lattice. However, it is difficult to make glasses from most ...
