- Research undertaken supported by an international company, Pilkington Glass (NSG now), where a novel methodology to improve the structural properties of fire rated glass was developed. The paper demonstrated that certain alkail resistant fibres as nonwoven or mesh fabrics introduced into the central silicate layer of a fire resistant glass composite had little influence on the overall fire properties and transparency while having an impact reinforcing effect
