About this document
Glass Fibers: Strength and Applications by Ikhwan Kahirdi is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Glass fibers are made by forcing molten glass through tiny holes called spinnerets. The threads are coated with glue and twisted into yarn. Glass fibers are used with plastics to make boats and car bodies. A special type of glass fiber allows light signals to travel along the fiber for long distances, enabling communication between phones and computers. Glass wool is made from molten glass threads that are blown and tangled into a thick mat. It is used for insulation in walls and ceilings.
