The production itself is already greener (less emissions), and greater durability means that products made of this material can be made of a smaller amount (e.g. bottles with thinner walls and the same strength), and thus cheaper and even more ecological.

LionGlass: New Type of Glass That’s Greener and 10x More Damage Resistant

Globally, glass manufacturing emits at least 86 million tons of carbon dioxide annually. However, a new type of glass called LionGlass, developed by Penn State researchers, offers the potential to reduce this carbon output by 50%. Not only does this innovative glass demand considerably less energy f

Wow, ich bin erstaunt: es gibt einen, ich würde sagen Durchbruch, bei der Herstellung von #Glas. #Lionglass - entwickelt an der Penn State Universität. Die Widerstandsfähigkeit gegen Risse konnte um den Faktor 10 und die Herstellungstemperatur auf 400 Grad C reduziert werden. Damit könnte weniger / dünneres Glas verwendet werden und die Energieeinsparung entspricht 30%.

LionGlass: 10 mal stärker und umweltfreundlicher als herkömmliches Glas

Glas hat viele Vorteile, aber auch einen großen Nachteil: Es ist zerbrechlich. Forscher:innen von Penn State haben nun ein Glas namens "LionGlass" entwickelt.
