GLASS AND ITS IMPORTANCE IN LIFE AND IN CHEMISTRY. Glass is one of the most important materials both in ordinary life, in which its presence is felt everywhere, as in the laboratory, be it a chemical or any other laboratory. This article discusses glass in many aspects, including its composition, or compositions, history and applications, both as a component of civilization as a practical and ordinary component in thousands of uses as an indispensable material. Also will be discussed many of its scientific applications, particularly in chemistry. A survey will also be presented of the origins and present state of glass techniques in Brazil.
