Glass is strong enough for many things like windshields and
building windows that need to handle high stress without breaking. Glass
producers believe some of the latest methods from the microelectronics and
nanotechnology industry could produce glass that is twice as strong as the glass
available today.
Glass is unique because of its molecular structure. It
freezes into a rigid form when cooled. But unlike ice, in which water molecules
take on regular crystalline patterns, the molecules in glass are suspended
randomly, just as they were as a liquid, with no particular pattern.
During regular glass formation, extra energy is trapped in
the glass by the temperature transitions of the annealing process. Studies suggest
that using a vapor deposition production process would result in stronger glass
because it would eliminate this extra energy and be able to create a
crystalline molecular structure in the glass.
