Annealed glass

In general, there are three kinds of moduli Young s moduli E, shear moduli G, and bulk moduli K. The simplest of all materials are isotropic and homogeneous. The distinguishing feature about isotropic elastic materials is that their properties are the same in all directions. Unoriented amorphous polymers and annealed glasses are examples of such materials. They have only one of each of the three kinds of moduli, and since the moduli are interrelated, only two moduli are enough to describe the elastic behavior of isotropic substances. For isotropic materials... 

An example of a schematic for sample treatment, extraction, and separation procedures is given in Simoneit, and it follows the method first used by Simoneit and Mazurek with minor modifications for data comparison purposes. The samples are powdered and dried, then typically extracted using ultrasonic agitation multiple times with a mixture of dichloromethane (CH2CI2) and methanol (3 1 v/v). The solvent extracts are filtered through an annealed glass fiber filter for the removal of insoluble particles, concentrated by rotary evaporation and then by a stream of filtered nitrogen gas. 

ANISOTROPIC MEDIUM. An anisotropic medium has different optical or other physical properties in different directions. Wood and calcite crystals are anisotropic, while fully annealed glass and, in general, fluids at rest are isotropic. 

Most laminated glass applications are concerned with impact strength, and minimum performance levels are required by specification. The impact strength of two plies of laminated, annealed glass and various PVB thicknesses are available (4). Aircraft laminates may utilize electrical resistance heating as deicing for vision enhancement. 

Additional improvements have been incorporated since 1966 with the availability of thinner float glass. Glass thickness and interlayer thickness have been studied to optimize the product for occupant retention, occupant injury, and damage to the windshield from external sources (30,31). The thinner float glass windshields are more resistant to stone impacts than the early plate glass windshields. The majority of laminated windshields are made of two pieces of 2—2.5 mm annealed glass and 0.76 mm of controlled adhesion interlayer.

Transfer between 700 mg and 2.2 g of sample into a 500- to 800-mL Kjeldahl digestion flask of hard, moderately thick, well-annealed glass. If desired, wrap the sample, if solid or semisolid, in nitrogen-free filter paper to facilitate the transfer.

A TM-AFM scan of amorphous PET is shown in Fig. 3.17 A in comparison to an isothermally crystallized sample. On the rather smooth surface of the glassy PET, some undulations can be seen. The roughness analysis carried out over the shown scan size of 1.00 x 1.00 pm2 leads to an rms roughness of 0.9 nm (compared to 9.3 nm for the crystallized sample). This former value compares well with rms roughnesses measured on annealed glass or Si wafers (rms roughness 0.5 nm). 

Most of the time, metal/dielectric nanocomposites are studied in the form of solutions or thin solid films on a substrate Colloids, doped and annealed glasses, sol-gels, surfactant-stabilized nanoparticles, micelles, two- or three-dimension self-assembled nanocomposites, self-organized mesoporous oxides filled with metals, electrochemically-loaded template membranes, metal-ion implanted crystals, nanocomposite films elaborated by laser ablation, cluster-beam deposition, radio-frequency sputtering, or nanolithography.
