Abstract
Methods are reviewed for improving the mechanical properties of oxide glasses. These are divided into surface and bulk techniques and include thermal and chemical strengthening, controlled crystallization, and particle, fibre and whisker reinforcement. The merits and limitations of individual techniques are compared and discussed. In conclusion, a number of applications for these materials are briefly outlined.
