	Glass - MSN Encarta
		By impregnating glass fibers with plastics, a composite fiberglass is formed that combines the strength and inertness of glass with the impact resistance of the plastic.
		Foam glass, used in floats or as insulation, is made by adding a foaming agent to finely ground glass and heating the mixture to the softening point.
		Glass containers such as bottles and jars are the most commonly recycled form of glass, and their colors are flint (clear), amber (brown), and green.

	Safety of Fiber Glass Insulation
		Fiber glass is categorized within a group of man-made materials historically referred to as man-made vitreous fibers, now known as synthetic vitreous fibers (SVFs).
		Fiber glass is one of the most thoroughly tested building products in the world with health and safety research on fiber glass spanning nearly 70 years.
		In summary, the safety of fiber glass insulation is supported by 70 years of research, which shows that exposures are low during manufacture, installation, use and removal; manufacturing workers are healthy; and, if inhaled, insulation fibers are quickly removed from the body.

	New Research on Glass Fibers
		Recent research in the area of fiber solubility has focused on the importance of the ability of glass fibers to disappear from the lung and be removed rapidly following inhalation.
		In contrast to other fibers, that may persist in the body for decades, ordinary insulation wool glasses are quite soluble in the body and are removed in a period of weeks or months.
		Glass fibers disappear from the lung at the same rate as the fiber dissolves under laboratory conditions.

	Apparatus for increasing the breaking strength of glass fibers - Patent 4304582 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		In accordance with the principles of the invention, a glass fiber is subjected to a heat treatment whereby such fiber is relatively slowly cooled from a temperature at or at least close to the softening or fusion temperature of the glass fiber to about room temperature.
		In another method embodiment of the invention, a funished glass fiber is, after the conventional finishing operations are completed, re-heated to a temperature at or at least close to the softening temperature of such fiber and then relatively slowly and controllably cooled to room temperature.
		The glass preform rod 1a or the glass or glasses in one or more crucibles are heated-up to the softening point or melt range of such glass via the heating element and a glass fiber is pulled from such softened stock glass.

	Encyclopedia of Laser Physics and Technology - fibers, glass fibers, optical fiber, fibres, applications, fiber optics, ...
		Fibers used in laser optics nearly always have a core with a refractive index which is somewhat higher than that of the surrounding medium (called the cladding).
		For multimode fibers, there is also intermodal dispersion, i.e., a dependence of the group velocity on the fiber mode, which may be minimized by choosing a suitable refractive index profile but is typically larger than the dispersion of single-mode fibers.
		While the bare glass fiber may have a typical diameter of 125 μm, and the polymer buffer and jacket increase this to a few hundred micrometers, the total diameter of the fiber cable may be several millimeters.

	Non-oxide & heavy-metal oxide glass fibers - IR Fiber Review
		Chalcogenide glass fibers were drawn into essentially the first IR fiber in the mid 1960s.
		A distinctive difference between these glasses and the other IR fiber glasses is that they do not transmit well in the visible region and their refractive indices are quite high.
		In general, chalcogenide glass fibers have proven to be an excellent candidate for evanescent wave fiber sensors and for IR fiber image bundles.

		Textile glass fibers are formed by extruding the glass melt through a multiple hole "bushing" which is analogous to the spinnerette used in forming organic fibers.
		Glass fiber usually is classified by the fiber diameter, the chop length (staple length), the moisture content (wet chop fiber only), and the chemical sizing.
		Because the surface of the glass fiber is absolutely smooth, it is not economically feasible to crimp the fiber.

		glass is heavy enough to absorb the energy of the bullet, and the several plastic layers hold the shattered fragments together.
		The glass may be poured either from ladles or directly from the furnace, or drained from the bottom of the furnace.
		Glass blowing and glass pressing were unknown, furnaces were small, the clay pots were of poor quality, and the heat was hardly sufficient for melting.

		The charactersistic fibrillar structure of aramid fibers is due to the alignment of polymer crystallites along the fiber axis.
		The fiber precipitates in the air gap and the acid is removed in the coagulation bath.
		The boron fibers produced by this method, however, are weak because of a lack of adherence between the boron and the core.

	Introduction - IR Fiber Review
		The first IR fibers were fabricated in the mid-1960's from chalcogenide glasses such as arsenic trisulfide with losses in excess of 10 dB/m.
		In general, both the optical and mechanical properties of IR fibers remain inferior to silica fibers and, therefore, the use of IR fibers is still limited primarily to non-telecommunication, short-haul applications requiring only tens of meters of fiber rather than kilometer lengths common to telecommunication applications.
		For these high index fibers, the energy is largely confined to the core of the fiber as long as the unprotected fiber core does not come in contact with an absorbing medium.

	SOURCEBOOK 2006 - Glass fibers
		Glass fibers are the oldest and, by far, the most common reinforcement used in nonaerospace applications to replace heavier metal parts.
		Fiber properties are determined by the fiber manufacturing process and the ingredients and coatings used in the process.
		During glass fiber production, raw materials are transformed into delicate and highly abrasive filaments, ranging in diameter from 3.5 to 24 micrometers.

	Modern Communication - Optical Fibers Emerge
		Light is channeled in glass fibers by a property known as total internal reflection.
		The equations governing the trapping of light inside a flat glass plate were known to Augustine-Jean Fresnel as early as 1820, and their extension to what were then known as glass wires was achieved by D. Hondros and Peter Debye in 1910.
		Although hair-thin strands of glass were already known to carry light over short distances and were already being used in industry and medicine to take light to otherwise inaccessible places, the light typically lost up to 99% of its strength when passing along as little as 30 feet of fiber.

	Products & Services - AR Glass Fibers
		Nycon's AR-glass fibers are specifically developed for concrete and mortar reinforcement and are highly resistant to acids and other chemicals.
		Safe and easy to handle, they are more beneficial than e-glass fibers (electric glass, typically used for the reinforcement of thermoset and thermoplastic resins) which only provide early green strength.
		A further safety feature is that AR glass fibers always break with the same cross section without any reduction in diameter.

	Industry Recommends Reduction of Airborne Glass Fibers - H&S No 4, 2002
		They concluded that controlling durable fiber exposures to an 8-hour Time-Weighted Average of 0.05 fibers/cm3 will assure that the additional (theoretical) lifetime risk from working lifetime exposures to these durable fibers is kept below the 1 per 100,000 level.
		Other glass and ceramic fibers that are more durable pose significant risk because they do not dissolve in the lungs.
		The UAW Health and Safety Department has long recommended that all mineral fibers, including asbestos, be treated with the same precautions, and that laboratory studies suggested that SMF’s could be as potent as asbestos, fiber per fiber.
