| With maximum light capture being a major part of the design brief, the new John and Frances Angelos Law Center, the home of the University of Baltimore School of Law, is a fascinating example of how DuPont™ SentryGlas® can be deployed for both functional and aesthetic purposes.
| Differently from traditional structural materials, the structural behaviour of laminated glasses exhibits some anomalies due to the difference in the stressstrain laws of their components: glass is a brittle material, while PVB and SGP are thermoplastic materials with a visco-elastic behaviour.
| Laminated glasses consist of two or more glass sheets bonded together with plastic interlayers. The lamination gives to LGs a safer behaviour than monolithic glasses, avoiding injuries to people in case of breakage.
