The Importance of Glass Analysis The increasing use of glass in today’s economic market involves its use as a critical design component of environmental protection materials, appearance, safety, light transmission and thermal management. As the demand for sophisticated glass materials continues to rise, the development of increasingly advanced analytical techniques regarding the glass manufacturing issues will also be required. The presence of surface residue on glass materials can affect the adhesion, reliability and appearance of any coatings on these materials. Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) is often used for the measurement of shallow sampling depth, as this technique has a very high sensitivity for the detection of both inorganic and organic residues. The presence of both inorganic and organic residues has the potential to cause detrimental effects on the coating, adhesion, appearance, yields and performance of glass coating materials.
A number of analytical techniques are used to detect the surface particle and residue contamination of glass materials that can affect the appearance.

Glass is in the windows Glass had already become a serious business by the dawn of the Roman empire. The writer Petronius recounts the tale of a craftsman presenting Emperor Tiberius with a piece of allegedly unbreakable glass. Tiberius asked the craftsman, “Does anyone else know how to blow glass like this?” No, the craftsman replied, thinking he’d made it big. Without warning, Tiberius had the man beheaded.

GLASS IS A BIT OF A RIDDLE. IT’S HARD ENOUGH TO PROTECT US. In a commercial glass plant, sand is mixed with waste glass (from recycling collections), soda ash (sodium carbonate), and limestone (calcium carbonate) and heated in a furnace.
When US scientists tested a prototype of the atomic bomb in the New Mexico desert in 1945, the explosion turned the sand in the immediate area of the impact into glass. Fortunately, there are easier and less extreme ways of making glass—but all of them need immense amounts of heat. Then you set off for work or school, in a glass-wrapped car, bus, train (perhaps even helicopter), hunched under low-energy lamps covered by glass to make them last. If you’re driving, the highway you’re roaring down could be made from aggregates and asphalt including recycled glass; even the white stripes down the middle use tiny glass beads to make them shine in your headlights. Maybe you drop in the bank or the post office on your way,
smiling at the cashier behind her bulletproof window, as you make a quick copy of your driving licence (which you carelessly leave behind on the glass plate of the photocopier). Wayfarers Chapel in Rancho Palos Verdes, California by Carol Highsmith.

Why not plastic? It’s also important to limit the oil’s exposure to oxygen. Over time, oxygen can degrade the quality of the oil, eventually turning it rancid. Use oil soon after buying it, and always keep it stored with a cap or lid. Olive oil should be stored in a cool, dry, dark cupboard, away from the heat and light. Choose a spot in the kitchen that’s away from the oven. The best temperature for storing oil is 57 degrees, though room temperature, or 70 degrees, is also okay. Olive oil has three enemies: oxygen, light, and heat. When exposed to those elements, the oil will turn rancid more quickly. The best way to prevent this (and extend your oil’s shelf life) is proper storage. Choose a spot in the kitchen that’s away from the oven. The best temperature for storing oil is 57 degrees.The UC Davis Olive Oil Center foun d that a dark bottle is the best

method of storage for olive oil and plastic containers can be considered one of the worst. The latter is due to many reasons. The first being plastic is typically clear which allows UV rays to penetrate the oil. Plastic is also known to have traces of BPA, a chemical which can seep into the food it is storing. BPA can cause brain and behavior conditions; however, plastic was created during WWII and there have not been enough studies conducted to find concrete evidence yet.
Once the sand is melted, it is either poured into molds to make bottles, glasses, and other containers, or “floated� (poured on top of a big vat of molten
tin metal) to make perfectly flat sheets of glass for windows. When you check your email over breakfast (bad habit), speed-of-light Internet data.

To better understand the importance of glass, let's move through a regular day with Ashley, a student at university. Ashley wakes up and immediately checks her smartphone for any missed messages. That smartphone has a glass screen. Thus glass is an important component of a lot of modern electronics. Ashley then goes to the bathroom to wash up. She checks herself in the mirror, also made of glass, to ensure she looks beautiful and healthy. On the note of beauty and health, many beauty products and
medications are stored in darkened glass containers to ensure the longevity of whatever is inside. After that, Ashley goes to the kitchen. She pulls out some leftover pancakes, a glass of milk, and a jar of jam. Glass is thus used as an excellent storage container. After finishing breakfast, Ashley takes some time to smell the roses in a beautiful glass vase she got as a gift from her dad.
Let’s learn more about why that is the case. 24
Yet despite its ubiquity in labs and cleanrooms, surprisingly little is known about silica’s surface interactions with water at a molecular level.
There are two different types of chemical groups that comprise glass surfaces, he said: silanol (SiOH) groups that are generally hydrophilic (water-loving), or siloxane (SiOHSi) groups that are typically water-repellant. “What we show,” Shrader says, “is that the way that you arrange these two types of chemistries on the surface greatly impacts how water interacts with the surface, which, in turn, impacts physical observable phenomena, like how water spreads on a glass.”

Better known as glass, silica is a versatile material used in myriad industrial processes, from catalysis and filtration, to chromatography and nanofabrication.
Why? Silica (silicon dioxide), in the form of sand, is one of the main ingredients in the manufacture of glass, which is a combination of that and soda ash (sodium carbonate) as well as limestone (calcium carbonate). And glass is ultimately responsible for much of modern civilization, and that’s not an overstatement either.
“The way water interacts with a surface affects many processes,� says Songi Han, a UC Santa Barbara professor of chemistry and author on a recent paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. In many cases, she explained, scientists and engineers intuit the potential interactions between silica and water and design equipment, experiments and processes based on empirical evidence. But a mechanistic understanding of how the chemical topology of silica surfaces alter the structure of water at
the surface could lead to a rationale design of these processes. For many people, glass is glass, and brings to mind the clear hard, smooth, homogenous-looking material that we use for windows or tableware.

You may also see glass described as a frozen supercooled liquid. This is another way of saying glass is a liquid that has never set, which is the puzzling statement you’ll sometimes find in science books.

Why is parfume conserved in glass? Once the sand is melted, it is either poured into molds to make bottles, glasses, and other containers, or “floated” (poured on top of a big vat of molten tin metal) to make perfectly flat sheets of glass for windows. Unusual glass containers are still sometimes made by “blowing” them. A “gob” (lump) of molten glass is wrapped around an open pipe, which
34
is slowly rotated. Air is blown through the pipe’s open end, causing the glass to blow up like a balloon. With skillful blowing and turning, all kinds of amazing shapes can be made. Glass makers use a slightly different process depending on the type of glass they want to make.

SS Such a diverse discovery and its reflection doesn’t lie. It may reflect distortion with imperfections or ripples as above, but it will not lie. Its physical form may project mis-shaped reflection but it will always be true to the true object or being seeing the reflection. The reflection is not an interpretation, it is a 100% representation of what stands before what is being reflected. Such a diverse discovery, our world has been moulded around its use and glass has been moulded around our world. This is a close resemblance, one could argue, to that of human-beings. We mould around the world laid before us, as the world moulds around our actions.
Nature changes, chemical fusions & reactions adapt and mould to what we create, global warming comes to mind. Look around you, what can you see? A mirror? A window? A mobile phone? A pair of glasses? If there was no glass what would be different? What would be in place of all these common features within our society? My first thought would be perspex, not sure if that would work or be as productive as glass, but certainly a solution.
