Bubble growth in a confined heated polymer: the example of safety glass
Key Points
Bubble growth occurs in laminated safety glass during heating, impacting its structural integrity.
Analysis of bubble formation indicates potential thermal behavior in confined polymers.
Observation of viscoelastic polymer interactions informs design considerations for safety glass applications.
Findings underscore the importance of material properties in optimizing thermal performance for safety glass.
Abstract
Laminated safety glass (LSG) is a composite assembly of glass and polyvinyl butyral (PVB), a viscoelastic polymer. LSG can be found in building facades and in all major forms of...
