E-Glass Fibber :
Glassmakers throughout history have experimented with glass fibers, but mass
manufacture of glass fiber was only made possible with the invention of finer
machine tooling. In 1893, Edward Drummond Libbey exhibited a dress at
the World's Columbian Exposition incorporating glass fibers with
the diameter and texture of silk fibers. Glass fibers can also occur naturally,
as Pele's hair.
Glass wool, which is one product called "fiberglass" today, was invented in
1932–1933 by Russell Games Slayter of Owens-Corning, as a material to be
used as thermal building insulation.[1] It is marketed under the trade name
Fiberglas, which has become a genericized trademark. Glass fiber when used as
a thermal insulating material, is specially manufactured with a bonding agent to
trap many small air cells, resulting in the characteristically air-filled low-density
"glass wool" family of products.
Glass fiber has roughly comparable mechanical properties to other fibers such
as polymers and carbon fiber. Although not as rigid as carbon fiber, it is much
cheaper and significantly less brittle when used in composites. Glass fibers are
therefore used as a reinforcing agent for many polymer products; to form a very
strong and relatively lightweight fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite
material called glass-reinforced plastic (GRP), also popularly known as
"fiberglass". This material contains little or no air or gas, is more dense, and is a
much poorer thermal insulator than is glass wool.
