All About Glass Glass is a rigid material formed by heating a mixture of dry materials to a viscous state, then cooling the ingredients fast enough to prevent a regular crystalline structure As the glass cools, the atoms become locked in a disordered state like a liquid before they can form into the perfect crystal arrangement of a solid. Glass casting is the process in which glass objects are cast by directing molten glass into a mould where it solidifies The technique has been used since the Egyptian period Modern cast glass is formed by a variety of processes such as kiln casting, or casting into sand, graphite or metal moulds Contents 1 History 11 Roman period. Glass transition temperature is the macromanifestation of polymer chain’s flexibility If increasing rigidity of the polymer chain, the glass transition temperature of polymer will be increased too We should decrease the single bonds in the polymer main chain, and introduce conjugated double bonds, triple bond or ring structure (including alicyclic, aromatic ring or heterocyclic), to.
