His work features the animal life of the rural South, where the artist grew up surrounded by nature and animals and the rhythms of farm life. He transfers techniques learned from realist Southern sculptors. The young artist is gaining a reputation in places as far distant as the Czech Re- public, Turkey, South Korea, and Southern France. Garmezy’s story is one of a young artist making his way through various media and recounting the chal- lenges he navigated to establish himself as a professional glass artist. Glass Art caught up with Garmezy just as he returned from teaching his first class in advanced sculpting at The Studio of The Corning Museum of Glass and readying himself for an intensive summer of international travel, demonstra- tions, and teaching. The Artist’s Roots Garmezy grew up on a farm outside Nashville, Tennessee, with parents who were very supportive of him pursuing art. “Nothing else came naturally to me, so I was enrolled at age 10 in private lessons with a cartoonist to practice drawing, and that naturally evolved. I apprenticed with a coppersmith in high school, where I learned how to work with metals, the discipline of being an artist, and the hardships of being a working artist. My early portfolio is filled with metalwork.” Out of high school, Garmezy applied to 10 art schools and was ac- cepted by nine. An accidental encounter with a recruiter in an elevator led him to discover Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts (VCUarts). “I found an amazing school, far enough away from home, with the best art facilities I’d seen and among the top arts programs in the country. They also had lots to offer beyond arts, and I wanted to be immersed in a diverse school.” Garmezy entered VCUarts intending to specialize in metalwork- ing. He studied ceramics, furniture design, and metalworking for a year but was fascinated when he first observed glassblowing. “There were music, students working in teams with molten material, people having a good time. I was, like, how do I get in there? I asked the head of the department for an override slip and changed my focus from metalsmithing to glassblowing.” The artist’s introduction to glass was hardly a love match.

Hydrofluoric acid vapors or baths of hydrofluoric acid salts may be used to give glass a matte, frosted appearance (similar to that obtained by surface sandblasting), as found in lighting glass. Glass designs can be produced by coating the glass with wax and then inscribing the desired pattern through the wax layer. When applied, the acid will corrode the glass but not attack the wax-covered areas. Alumina-silicate Glass Alumina (aluminum oxide Al2O3) is added to the glass batch in the form of commonly found feldspars containing alkalis in order to help improve chemical resistance and mechanical strength, and to increase viscosity at lower temperatures. Angle of Incidence The angle formed between a ray of light striking a surface and the normal line (the line perpendicular to the surface at that point). Annealing Under natural conditions, the surface of molten glass will cool more rapidly than the center. This results in internal stress- es which may cause the glass sheet or object to crack, shatter or even explode some time later. The annealing process is designed to eliminate or limit such stresses by submitting the glass to strictly controlled cooling in a special oven known as a “lehr”. Inside the lehr, the glass is allowed to cool to a temperature known as the “annealing point”.

This complexity stands as a promising technology for the 21st century since the need for environmentally friendly materials has reached a critical point due to climate change. However, such a wide range of variability makes new glass compositions difficult to design. The difficulty is only exaggerated when considering that not only is there an infinite variability in the compositional space, but also an infinite variability thermal history of a glass and in the crystallinity of glass-cearmics. This means that even for a simple binary glass there are at least 3 dimensions that have to be optimized. To resolve this difficulty, it is shown that energy landscapes can capture all three sets of complexity (composition, thermal history, and crystallinity). The explicit energy landscape optimization, however, has a large computational cost.

  • Vitrification of Historic and Future High Level Nuclear Wastes Within Alkali Borosilicate Glasses
    Vitrification of historic and future high level nuclear wastes within alkali borosilicate glasses Andrew James Connelly M.Eng. A Thesis submitted to the Department of Engineering Materials at the University of Sheffield in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy. February 2008 The University Of Sheffield. Abstract The disposal of highly radioactive and toxic wastes generated by the nuclear industry is one of the biggest challenges facing the world today. Currently, in the UK there is a large legacy waste holding which has been accumulating since nuclear energy was first harnessed during World War 2. Processing of this waste with a view to final disposal is a complex and difficult task. This work investigates one aspect of that process, namely turning this waste into glass (or vitrification). This work uses multiple techniques including x-ray absorption spectroscopy, magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance and molecular dynamic simulations, to investigate the structural role of Zr02 and U 03 within the alkali borosilicate glass used in the UK for waste immobilisation. The effect of these additions on the bulk glass structure and selected glass properties are also explored. In waste glasses Zr occurs as a 6 co-ordinated Zr ion surrounded by Si, B, Na and Li. The effect of Zr02 additions on the bulk glass structure and properties is highly complex. The addition of Zr02 appears to be characterised by a non-linearity in the trends of certain physical and structural parameters. At low levels of Zr02 the level of leaching from the glasses and the co­ ordination of B increase.

  • Borosilicate Glass Wafers Are an Inexpensive Alternative
    Basics of Microstructuring 01 Chapter MicroChemicals® – Fundamentals of Microstructuring www.microchemicals.com/downloads/application_notes.html PRODUCTION AND SPECIFICATIONS OF GLASS WAFERS For applications where neither the high dielectric strength of quartz nor the high transparency is in the ultravi- olet, visible or infrared spectral range or the thermal stability of quartz or quartz glass is required, borosilicate glass wafers are an inexpensive alternative. Borosilicate Glass and Ordinary Glass in Comparison Composition Borosilicate glass consists of approximately 80% of silicon dioxide (SiO2) and approximately 5-15% boron trioxide (B2O3). Other additives are alkaline oxide (Na2O, K2O), aluminium oxide (Al2O3) and alkaline po- tassium oxide (CaO, MgO). Borosilicate glasses typically have a very low iron content, which causes the typical green colour of window glass in order to increase the transparency. Properties Due to its boron content, borosilicate glass exhibit a higher chemical stability against water, many chemi- cals and pharmaceutical products compared to window glass. In addition, borosilicate glass exhibits signifi cantly higher thermal stability against temperature fl uctua- tions due to its thermal expansion coeffi cients, which are less than half as large as compared to window glass. Production of Glass Wafers For the further processing into glass wafers, specifi c borosilicate glass is produced using the “fl oat pro- cess” (Fig. 37). Hereby the molten glass on melted tin forms a fl oating both-side smooth ribbon with a homogeneous thickness. On its way on the tin bath, the temperature is gradually reduced from 1100 down to 600°C until the sheet can be lifted onto rollers. Glass pane Glass melt Tin melt Fig.

  • The Bewildering Array of Owens-Illinois Glass Co. Logos and Codes
    The Bewildering Array of Owens-Illinois Glass Co. Logos and Codes Bill Lockhart and Russ Hoenig [In 2004, Lockhart wrote similar articles about maker’s marks and codes used by the Owens-Illinois Glass Co. for the Society for Historical Archaeology Newsletter and a collectors’ magazine. While these articles contained more detailed information than earlier works (e.g., Toulouse 1971), there were still problems with some of the identifications. The current study corrects the issues and explains past discrepancies. Parts of this study were taken from Lockhart 2007 (online version of 2004 article).] From its beginning in 1929, the Owens-Illinois Glass Co. has been a giant in the bottle and jar industry. Its history (see below) is filled with growth and innovation. As a result, there is probably no way to even estimate the billions of bottles that Owens-Illinois has produced during the more than 80 years of its tenure. That means, of course, that the Owens-Illinois manufacturer’s mark and codes are the most common of all logos found by historical archaeologists in excavations and surveys of post 1930 sites. The study of these marks and codes are therefore of great interest to archaeologists studying material culture. Bottle collectors were the first group outside of the bottle industry to be introduced to the Owens-Illinois codes via a letter from Julian Harrison Toulouse to May Jones, published in Volume 5 of The Bottle Trail (1965). Toulouse served his entire career as an employee of Owens-Illinois, and, as his retirement neared, he wrote numerous articles and two books aimed at bottle collectors.

  • The Current and Future State-Of-The-Art Glass Optics for Space-Based Astronomical Observatories
    The Current and Future State-of-the-art Glass Optics for Space-based Astronomical Observatories Abstract Recent technology advancements show significant promise in the ability to reduce the cost, schedule and risk associated with producing segmented Primary Mirrors (PMs) as well as monolithic optics larger than Hubble Space Telescope (HST) scale to the surface figure and smoothness required of current and future astronomical systems. This paper describes the present state-of-the art technology for glass mirrors at ITT and a path to next generation technology for use in a wide range of applications. In-process development activities will be discussed as well as the areas in which future investments can further enhance glass PM technologies. Active, passive, monolithic, and segmented mirror technologies will be discussed along with some basic descriptions of the different ways by which light-weighted glass mirror blanks are fabricated. There will be an emphasis on Corning’s Ultra Low Expansion (ULE®) and borosilicate optics, with some discussion of glass ceramics and other material substrates. The paper closes with a table that summarizes potential areas of investment that will continue to advance the state of the art for the use of glass and other materials in optical systems.
