Preface
This book offers a comprehensive view of fiberglass and glass technology with emphasis on energy-friendly compositions, manufacturing practices, and applications, which have recently emerged and continue to emerge. Energy-friendly compositions are variants of incumbent fiberglass and glass compositions. They are obtained by reformulation of incumbent glass compositions in order to reduce the melt viscosity and increase the melting rate, thereby saving process energy and reducing environmental emissions. As a result, new energy-friendly compositions are expected to become a key factor in the future for the fiberglass and glass industries. The contributors to the book consist of both academic and industrial scientists. This book is therefore dedicated to those in the academic and industrial community who seek an understanding of the past in order to make progress in the future. This book consists of three interrelated sections. Part I reviews a wide range of continuous glass fibers, their compositions, and properties. Dr. F. T. Wallenberger authored Chapter 1, which reviews important glass fibers ranging from commercial 100% SiO2 glass fibers and commercial multi-oxide glass fibers to experimental glass fibers containing 81% Al2 O3 . Dr. Wallenberger also authored Chapter 2. This chapter offers a new method (trend line design) for designing environmentally and energy-friendly E-, ECR-, A-, and C-glass compositions to reduce the process e
