One type is tempered glass, which is glass that has been cooled very quickly and has great internal pressure. This pressure makes it extremely strong, but if it breaks, it explodes into harmless .5"x.5"x.5" cubes.
Three-layer glass is another fairly strong glass used in windshields. It is essentially a layer of clear plastic sandwiched between two layers of normal glass. When/if the glass breaks, it shatters normally (long, pointy, deathly shards), but is held in place by the plastic.
Prince Rupert's Drops are also an extremely strong type of glass, but with a weak point. They are formed by dropping glass into water, and as such the outside cools faster than the inside, again causing great internal pressure. They are shaped like teardrops, with long, brittle tails. If the tail is broken off, the pressure inside the drop is released and they explode. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Rupert%27s_Drop)

What is the strongest glass?
The strongest type of glass is typically considered to be tempered glass, which is processed through a thermal tempering method to increase its strength compared to regular glass. It is designed to shatter into small, blunt pieces when broken, reducing the risk of injury. Tempered glass is commonly used in car windows, shower doors, and mobile phone screens.
Can ultraviolet light be absorbed in glass?
Yes, ultraviolet (UV) light can be absorbed in glass. Some types of glass, such as borosilicate glass, can absorb some UV radiation, especially shorter wavelengths. However, not all glass types are effective at blocking UV light, so it is important to use the appropriate glass for UV protection if needed.
What is the strongest type of clear plastic as in sheets like lexan or plexi-glass.?
Lexan is the stronger of the two. Polycarbonate is the generic name and is 25 times stronger than acrylic or plexiglass. It is also stronger the PETG another type of clear plastic. It is also bulletproof and you can hammer a nail straight through without breaking the material. Here's some more info on this page about Polycarbonate and other plastics...
Can ultraviolet light pass through glass?
Yes, most types of glass block a significant amount of ultraviolet (UV) light from passing through. However, some special types of glass called "UV-filtering glass" or "low-E glass" are designed to allow some UV light to pass through while blocking the majority of it.
What are the three major types of radiation in order weakest to strongest?
The three major types of radiation in order from weakest to strongest are alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. Alpha radiation consists of helium nuclei and is the weakest, beta radiation consists of fast-moving electrons or positrons, and gamma radiation is high-energy electromagnetic radiation.
What is the strongest armour in Oblivion?
Daedric armor provides the best defense out of all armor types, but is a heavy armor. Glass is the best light armor.

What is the strongest corrosive acid in the world?
Fluoroantimonic acid is considered one of the strongest corrosive acids in the world. It is a superacid that is highly reactive and can dissolve many materials, including glass and metal. Its strength is due to the presence of the highly electronegative fluorine and strong oxidizing antimony components.
