Abstract

This research explores the development of novel organic-based glass compositions, focusing on optimizing melting and heat treatment protocols to enhance material properties. By refining thermal processing techniques, we aim to improve the homogeneity and stability of these glasses. Characterization methods, including density measurements, optical transmission analysis, and thermal history evaluation, are employed to assess structural integrity and functional performance. The study provides insights into the feasibility of organic components in glass manufacturing, paving the way for advanced applications in optical and functional materials.
