2. Structural organization of container glass
2.1 Structure
Glass belongs to the family of non-crystalline solids, which includes two sub-families: amorphous solids and glasses. Glass is obtained by cooling a supercooled liquid mixture, which acquires the structure of a solid during this temperature reduction, without displaying the ordered characteristics specific to the crystalline state.
In other words, because cooling is rapid and deep, i.e. at a low temperature (by comparison with the melting temperature), the liquid mixture reaches a thermal zone where it is in a state of supercooling.
This solidification, with a continuous variation in viscosity, is therefore not crystallization (which has no time to take place), but a glass transition...
