Influence of polymer compositions on the effectiveness of machining glass

Composite materials based on wastes of flat glass processing

“…It has been shown (Soshko et al, 1989) that the admixtures of some organic polymers into the glass scrap during milling promoted the modification of the glass surface by the products of their thermo-mechanical destruction (Dhaliwal and Hay, 2000). For this reason, an additional batch of Series 2 was prepared using composites made from the resulting material obtained after joint ball milling of glass mirrors scrap admixed with PVB waste dissolved at room temperature in iso-propanol (15% solution); the weight ratio of glass scrap and PVB-alcohol solution was 0.05.…”
