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 glass point of material?

The glass point of a material, also known as the glass transition temperature (Tg), is the temperature range at which a polymer or amorphous material transitions from a hard and relatively brittle state into a more flexible and rubbery state. Below this temperature, the material exhibits glass-like properties with limited molecular mobility, while above it, increased molecular motion allows for greater flexibility. This transition is crucial in determining the thermal and mechanical behavior of materials, particularly in polymers and glasses.


Which type of glass is used for making glass reinforced plastic?

Fiberglass is commonly used for making glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) due to its strength, durability, and versatility. Fiberglass is composed of fine glass fibers embedded in a polymer resin matrix, which when combined forms a strong and lightweight material suitable for a variety of applications.
