Flexibility! Glass Fiber can dissipate energy along the fiber, normal glass does not have a structure to dissipate the energy in an even form and proves easier to crack as a result. Similarly the lifting ropes of cranes are actually coiled metal fibres and not solid chain link, the metal fibres dissipate the weight better than the chain.
Auto glass is made out of a strong yet flexible polycarbonate. This is stronger than normal glass and will resist scratches and crack easier than the regular glass can.
Diamond! is the common answer Graphene is the real answer and it's 200 times stronger than steel
Yes. Actually... a diamond is NOT 'stronger' than steel. A diamond is 'harder' than steel, but it is not stronger.
first off, of course, a nuclear bomb is thousands of times stronger than a normal bomb. a nuclear bomb also carries radiation, energy that causes poisoning and cancer, while most normal bombs cant do that.
Tempering is the process to add properties to the raw glass and to make it Standard or Toughened. If tempered (Heated) and cooled slowly, it becomes standard glass on the other hand if tempered and cooled rapidly, it gains different properties and becomes tough or is called toughened glass. Check the link below.
an epoxy surfboard is when a surfboard is made out of epoxy resin this is more stronger and lighter than the normal fiber glass and they can have more stronger colours than fiber glass this can be done without the silk laminating process
No.

Yes their hooves are much stronger then glass.
no.
yes its stronger than steel
yes
Diamond is harder than glass. anonymous@oola.com
Carbon fiber is lighter and stronger than GRP and it has a longer lifespan.
diamonds are stronger than glass, therefore, glass shatters more easily.
On the Mohs hardness scale glass is harder than steel. Mohs hardness tests the ability of one material to scratch another. Steel is rated 4 to 4.5 and glass is rated at 6 to 7. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohs_scale_of_mineral_hardness Glass is harder than steel, but it is more fragile and will break much easier. There are many different ways to measure strength. Here is a wikipedia article about the strength of materials: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials
If it's laid properly, it can be. Then again...you get a guy who uses the best resins, and the best fiberglass, and he can give you a stronger composite using fiberglass than an inexperienced person using carbon fiber.
