Computer-enhanced glass of a shattered windscreen

Shattered windscreen. Computer-enhanced glass of a shattered car windscreen. This windscreen is made of laminated glass, a process of layering the glass with a transparent polymer. Lamination holds the broken fragments together (as seen here) when the glass is shattered, as well as strengthening the windscreen. In many countries, laminated glass has almost completely eliminated the injuries from flying glass in car accidents

Glass Shattered Abstract Pattern Lamination Windscreen

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a shattered car windscreen, enhanced by computer technology. The glass fragments, meticulously layered with a transparent polymer through the process of lamination, are artfully displayed in this abstract pattern. Laminated glass not only strengthens the windscreen but also serves as a crucial safety measure during car accidents. As depicted here, when shattered, the broken fragments remain held together by the lamination process. This innovative technique has significantly reduced injuries caused by flying glass in automotive collisions across numerous countries. The image captures both the fragility and resilience of this industrial marvel. It reminds us that even in moments of destruction, there is an inherent strength within modern technology to protect and safeguard lives. Science Photo Library presents this thought-provoking artwork that seamlessly combines elements of science and aesthetics. Through their lens, they invite us to appreciate how advancements in materials like laminated glass have revolutionized our daily lives while simultaneously offering an artistic perspective on its visual appeal.
