Categories Related to Glass
Glass is a substance composed primarily of silicon (element symbol: Si) and oxygen (element symbol: O).
The glass crystal is shaped like a tetrapod. This is called the tetrahedral structure, which consists of one silicon (Si) at the center and four oxygen (O) around it. Numerous such structures are linked together to form a substance made of silicon and oxygen.
Glass crystal is formed when these materials are linked vertically, horizontally, and laterally.
If you look around you, you will notice that glass is used in all kinds of places. In our daily lives, it would be rare to encounter a location in which we do not have glass products in our field of vision.
The primary application of glass is in window glass, which is also used in automobiles and trains. Other common uses include interior products, tableware, smartphone screens, and containers for liquids.
In this way, we live our lives benefiting from all kinds of glass products.
One of the reasons why glass has become so widely used is because of its manufacturing characteristics. The following are some of the characteristics of glass production:
