∙ 12y agoYes. Glass is an inorganic polymer. The glass bottle, the window pane, the Swarosky articles you fondly buy. The basic raw materials used in manufacture of glass are silica sand, soda ash, calcium oxide and some trace elements such as cobalt, copper, nickel, manganese, iron and some others to provide it the colour. Other elements that are also used for lowering the melting point are boron, lead and barium. The four valencies of silicone are not linked to silicone alone as wrongly assumed. That is the case with quartz alone. All other glasses contain other cations such as sodium, Potassium, lithium, lead, calcium, aluminum etc as comonomers of silicone.The monovalent cations act as chain blockers, di and tri valent as chain extenders. The typical soda content is 0.4 to 0.5 parts per one part of silicon. Thus if one works out the molar ratio, it would amount to nearly 2 moles of sodium per mole of silicone. Potassium and Lithium can also be used for clipping the valance of silicone. This helps in reducing the melt viscosity, the melting temperature and workability of glass. The glass is so much of a polymer that the entire plastic processing has been lifted from glass processing industry which was already 100 years old when polymers of organic origin were invented.. All the forms of plastics, such as sheet, blow molded products and best of all fibres existed with glass. There is no difference in the manufacturing process of glass articles and plastic articles. Both are melt processed. Only difference is the operating temperature for glass which is much higher than the commercial polymers. The role of calcium, aluminum is to provide chain extension and that of the transition elements is to provide colour. The glass technologist believes the glass to be colloidal substance which in today's parlance would mean some thing undefined. But this is far from the truth. Time has come to accept glass, sodium silicate and Portland's cement are all inorganic polymers. I have been saying it for over 25 years now.

Is glass a polymer material?
In polymer science, the word glass is a term for a particular state of matter having certain characteristic properties. To avoid confusion, we'll ignore that and assume you're asking about ordinary window glass. Technically, it could be considered an extremely highly crosslinked polymer, and it does share some properties with polymers, but it's not normally thought of as a polymer.
What is the answers of TM and tg in chemistry?
Tm is temperature of melting. Tg is glass transition temperature.
What is Tg?
In chemistry, Tg is the glass transition temperature of an amorphous polymer. It is the individual polymer's fixed temperature at which point it either becomes flexible when the actual temperature of it is higher than the Tg, or it becomes rigid, when the actual temperature is lower than its Tg. An amorphous polymer is one whose structure is tangled. Tg is the cause of polymer items breaking. Leave a plastic bucket outside in winter and it can easily break in its rigid state, frozen or not.
Is glycerol a monomer or polymer?
polymer
Is diamond a ceramic or polymer?
polymer
What kind of polymer is used instead of glass?

What type of glass is used in airplane?
The type of glass most commonly used is Plexiglas which is an acrylic polymer. Another type used as an alternative to Plexiglas is polycarbonate.
Is fibreglass flammable?
The glass fibers themselves aren't. The polymer matrix they're embedded in may or may not be.
What are the typical application of Liquid Crystal polymer?
LCDs, like the one you are probably looking at now to read this. Also in the glass window shades where the glass darkens.
Are the Harman Kardon Soundsticks Speakers made of plastic or glass?
The Harman Kardon Soundsticks Speakers are made of a high quality polymer which recreates the look of glass.
Who applys liquid glass in New Zealand?
The best place is liquid polymer glass ltd (09)8135600 in auckland they also sell there products great value
What is the element formula of bullet proof glass?
The Scientific name for Bullet Proof Glass is Bullet Resistant Glass. It is referred to as Bullet Resistant Glass in the Industry as there is no such glass that can stop every bullet. A series of bullets that hit within a small area of the Bullet Resistant Glass will eventually project right through the glass.
What product can I use to fix a crack in a glass dining table?
A cracked glass dining table can be fixed with a glass repair kit (available at any hardware store). A special polymer, applied correctly, binds and fills the cracks.
What is the answers of TM and tg in chemistry?
Tm is temperature of melting. Tg is glass transition temperature.
What is the raw material of lenses?
The raw material of lenses is plastic polymer in most cases. There are some lenses which are made from glass materials as well.
What kind of glass is a windshield made of?
Vehicular windshields are made of laminated auto glass. There is a polymer layer between the glass sheets that provides a "flexible strength" to the glass to keep it from breaking into large, sharp pieces. The advantages of this type of glass in a windshield are pretty obvious. Links can be found below to check facts and learn more.
