Glass on Web - “Glass transition is related to the performance of materials, whether
it is inorganic glass or organic polymers,” said Gregory McKenna, professor of chemical

a boat made of fiberglass, or fly in an airplane made with epoxy-based composites.
Information like that can help predict if that jet will still be flying in 30 years.”
