    Abstract: A method of forming a glass container includes providing a glass parison having a tubular wall that includes an inside surface, which defines an interior parison cavity open at one axial end of the tubular wall, and an outside surface. The tubular wall includes an expandable blow portion that has a forming viscosity between 107.5 Pa·s and 105.5 Pa·s and is also in an isoviscous state. The glass parison is blow molded into a glass container by introducing a compressed gas into the interior parison cavity to thereby cause the expandable blow portion of the tubular wall to expand outwardly into a portion of a wall that defines the glass container.

    Abstract: A glass foam and methods of producing the same are disclosed. The glass foam is produced from a dried glass precursor gel having nanometer-sized pores and a bulk amorphous oxide-based matrix with an inorganic network of primary constituent oxides. One method includes obtaining the dried glass precursor gel, heating the dried glass precursor gel to a temperature below the melting point of the gel, maintaining the temperature for a time sufficient to expand the dried glass precursor gel, and expanding the dried glass precursor gel to form the glass foam.

    Abstract: A soda-lime-silica glass that has a composition comprising 60-80 wt % SiO2; 8-18 wt % Na2O; 5-15 wt % CaO; 0-3 wt % Al2O3; 0.0010-0.050 wt % silver expressed as Ag2O; and 0.005-0.30 wt % bismuth expressed as Bi2O3 is disclosed. Light-scattering silver colloids are dispersed throughout the soda-lime-silica glass to provide the glass with a yellow coloration. The soda-lime-silica glass may be in the form of a body that provides a shape of a container that defines an internal containment space. The body of such a container includes a base, a mouth that defines an opening to the internal containment space, and a wall that externs from the base to the mouth. A method of making a glass container that exhibits a yellow coloration is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A method of forming glass articles involves introducing a particulate mixture (20) of SiC particles and carrier particles into molten glass (44, 22) contained within at least one of a forehearth (12) or a fining chamber (28) of a glass-making furnace (10). The particulate mixture (20) creates seeds (S) within the molten glass such that an outflow of conditioned molten glass (18) discharged from the forehearth (12) and the glass articles produced therefrom contain a greater concentration of seeds (S) than if the particulate mixture (20) is not added. The concentration of seeds (S) in the glass articles can be controlled by commencing or withholding the addition of the particulate mixture (20).
