Glass Fibers<br />

• Glass fibers produced by spinning liquid glass directly<br />

to fine fibers. Just as in the Griffith experiments, the<br />

strength is based on small diameter.<br />

• Modulus ranges from 70- 90 GPa.<br />

• Strength ranges from 1.7-5 GPa<br />

• Breaking strain from 2 to 5%<br />

• Density ~ 2.5 gm/cc.<br />

• “E glass” [electrical, borosilicate glass] is the<br />

cheapest <strong>and</strong> most common. “R glass” <strong>and</strong> “S glass”<br />

is more expensive but more corrosion resistant, for<br />

example <strong>and</strong> higher strength.
