Although it seems a wrong projection glass is not only material is also science, I put it this way because it is composed of silica sand, carbonate and limestone partner that melt high temperature, and everything that tends to be fragile can be the subject of research, and therefore is pure science, therefore, glass is pure science.
Glass in tempering mode is used only with certain types of amorphous solids, and with the raw material it can be used to extract its physical and chemical properties.

I agree with you, the glass industry is a vast field and a science in itself
Let me just add these raw materials to the ingredients you mentioned in your article:
Sodium oxide:
It lowers the melting point and helps form glass
Borax:
It is a substance that contains sodium oxide (Na2O) and boron oxide (B2O3), and it works to reduce the coefficient of expansion of glass, and glass that contains a large percentage of boron oxide is characterized by that it does not break when exposed to sudden heat.
Extraordinary way to help me expand the content, thank you for that. I am a lover of glass, and certainly behind every sheet of glass hides a vast field of scientific knowledge, with the help of experimentation can access the new fundamentals around the glass.
