Lucite is a material that has both properties of plastic and glass and mirrors the clarity of glass. It is heavier in “feel” as compared to traditional plastics and is of the highest quality.
Apexvs. Plywood used in houses, which contains wood pieces glued together in different directions
No its not, its very stiff, poly urathane is more flexable and a hell of a lot more durable. Thin thin layers of fiber glass, like 1 or 2 sheets is flexible and not durable, breaks very easily. But reinforced plastic fiberglass, flexible, no its not, very very stiff.
No polycarbonate plastic and acrylic plastic make a better replacement for glass than vinyl. There are also some applications for which nothing replaces real glass.
Glass is more durable.
The use of sandwiching multiple layers together, and also integrating plastic layers into this sandwich, then heating them to form a composite sheet.
Bullet proof glass is made by laminating very strong layers of plastic film between layers of glass. This is done under very high pressure.
The difference between auto glass and regular glass is that auto glass has a thin layer of flexible clear plastic placed between two (or more) layers of glass. The film holds the glass in place when it breaks and will lessen the injuries from broken glass.
You would have to layer many layers of ordinary glass with sheets of plastic in between them. Then it would be resistant, but not bullet proof.You will need certain types of plastic because not every type of plastic would be able to withstand the force of a impact or you can just forget about bullet resistant glass and just end your life
Glass is made of sand, when sand is heated it will melt to glass. Plastic can be made of oil or synthetic materials.
Pyrex glass is designed to withstand sudden & drastic TEMPERATURE changes. Most glass will shatter with sudden temperature changes. Pyrex is not bulletproof. Most transparent bulletproof material (glass) is composed of several layers of plastic & glass sandwiched together. The plastic holds the glass together, while the glass absorbs a bullet's impact.
Throw them at the ground. The glass will shatter. Plastic will not. dont try this at home... It wont hold water.
yes
Because of the 2 layers of glass and air in between.
layers of film or glass plates?
Plastic is easier to carry than glass!
Between the layers of lamination of of safety glass is a film of clear material that prevents jagged sharp points, breakage resulting in small 'crumbs' and holding it together. Can't remember what material exactly, some form of plastic
