Abstract

The Glass generally have silicon dioxide as their forming oxide, which is accompanied by other metallic oxides that allow them to be brightened, transparent, chemically stable, insoluble in water, and colored. It is the most versatile material invented by man that exists and stands out among other materials because it can be infinitely recycled, allowing the saving of natural resources, energy and costs. It has historically played important roles in architecture, automotive, home furnishings and packaging. Today it is an essential element in key sectors such as energy, biomedicine, agriculture, electronics, telecommunications, optics and aerospace. This work joins the efforts of the United Nations and the international scientific community to declare 2022 "International Year of Glass", a commemoration that celebrates the past, present and future of the most transformative material in the history of humanity.
