Glass is made by melting sand at high temperatures. The melted sand, which contains silica dioxide, cools into a non-crystalline solid structure similar to a liquid. There are several types of glass including fused glass, sodium lime glass, borosilicate glass, lead crystal glass, and dyed coloured glass. Fused glass is made from nearly pure silica and is heat resistant. Sodium lime glass melts at lower temperatures. Borosilicate glass contains boron and is more chemically resistant. Lead crystal glass contains lead and is optically transparent. Ceramics are made from clay and are hard, brittle, high-melting insulators used for applications like super conductors,

The sand used is selected quartz that contains pure silica (silica dioxide) The structure of solid glass are not arranged orderly manner and and it is similar to the state that exists in liquid. Thus, the glass is classified as liquid that extremely cold. GLASS Consists of slilicates Most glass are tansparent, chemically inert,brittle and impermeable Fused glass Is the simplest glass It is mainly silica
It is highly heat-resistant glass.
Example:
Laboratory apparatus. Fused glass
Made up by heating silica from sand
exceeding 1700 degree celcius. Its high viscosity makes its difficult to be designed into items with curved. contains=99% silica dioxide+ 1% boron oxide Sodium lime glass It is made by heating sand by lime stone It can be melt at low temperature It is easy to be shaped and has a good chemical probability It is also has a high thermal coefficient Borrosilicate glass It was formed by adding boron side and soda-lime glass It has lower thermal expension coefficient. Three times more ressistant to chemical attacks Lead crystal glass
Normally called crystal or lead glass
It is optically transparent and contains much more lead Dyed coloured glass
• Is made by mixing some
coloured transitions metal oxides. • For example, one part of nickel oxide is sufficuent to change glass colur from yellow to purple depending on the original composition of glass. New uses of glasses
Photochromic glass is used as
spectacles lens, which also fuction dark glasses. Fibre glass is used in electrical equipment. Fibre optics is used in the field of telecomunication and medical field. CERAMICS
Very hard,brittle,have a very high melting point, chemically inert and
do not corrodes Ceramics
• They are made by from clay.
• They are good insulators of electricity and heat Uses of ceramics
