Derived termsTerms derived from glass (noun)From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Glass generally refers to hard, brittle, transparent material, such as those used for windows, many bottles, or eyewear. Examples of such solid materials include, but are not limited to, soda-lime glass, borosilicate glass, acrylic glass, sugar glass, isinglass (Muscovy-glass), or aluminium oxynitride. In the technical sense, glass is an inorganic product of fusion which has been cooled through the glass transition to a rigid condition without crystallizing. Many glasses contain silica as their main component and glass former. In the scientific sense the term glass is often extended to all amorphous solids (and melts that easily form amorphous solids), including plastics, resins, or other silica-free amorphous solids. In addition, besides traditional melting techniques, any other means of preparation are considered, such as ion implantation, and the sol-gel method. However, and physics commonly includes only inorganic amorphous solids, while plastics and similar organics are covered by polymer science, biology and further scientific disciplines. Glass plays an essential role in science and industry. The optical and physical properties of glass make it suitable for applications such as flat glass, container glass, optics and optoelectronics material, laboratory equipment, thermal insulator (glass wool), reinforcement fiber (glass-reinforced plastic, glass fiber reinforced concrete), and art. The term glass developed in the late Roman Empire. It was in the Roman glassmaking center at Trier, Germany, that the late-Latin term glesum originated, probably from a Germanic word for a transparent, lustrous substance. From Wikipedia under the

Q. We just got a ball python and I would like to get fingerprints off the outside of the "aquarium" glass. I know that I need to use vinegar or another natural cleaner for the interior, but can I use a commercial window cleaner (like Windex) for the outside glass? If not, what can I use as a streak free exterior glass cleaner? Asked by kanpope - Wed May 20 10:19:06 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. You can but you need to becarful it doesnt get inside the tank, and not to touch the outside of the tank when it is still wet and then touch the inside... also don't forget the the cleaner does tend to "mist" and some of it can get inside the tank, try putting it on a piece of cloth/paper towel and wipe the tank instead of spraying it right on... and it may help if you remove the tank first and put it in another bucket/get someone else to hold it, hope that helps!
