This book highlights recent developments in fiberglass research and technology development
including high-performance fiberglass chemistry in-depth glass network structure information
derived from the-state-of-the-art spectroscopic measurements molecular dynamics simulations
and their correlations with properties fiber surface chemistry in relation to sizing chemistry
- a critical part of composite performance fiber process stability fundamental understanding
of the batch-to-melt conversion processes and melt flow simulations and environmental concerns
such as energy efficiency and emission of volatile species which are key to
environmentally-friendly product manufacturing. The book aims to guide fiberglass researchers
and manufacturers towards better awareness and perhaps provides potential options for global
ecosystem management. More than 500 current references are included which will enable
researchers from fiber glass industry and research institution access to the most recent
progress in fiberglass science and technology. Advances scientific understanding of
fiberglass-forming processes rising in popularity as a building material throughout the world
Describes the current advances in the structure and formation of fiber glass beginning with
chemistry a wide range of characterizations and processes through to applications Contains
information on environmental aspects of fiberglass production addressing energy consumption
and emission.
