A spherical void filled with air or gas.  Bubbles form as air is trapped in a liquid.  When a plastic cures or hardens, bubbles can form permanent voids that interfere with optical clarity.  Sometimes bubbles are purposely injected into a liquid or plastic, such as for the formation of foams.

Description

An inorganic manufactured fiber that is stable at high temperatures. Ceramic fibers are composite materials made from mixtures of Silica with inorganic oxides such as Alumina, zirconia, thoria, Magnesia, hafnia, beryllia, Titanium dioxide, potassium titanate. They are used for insulation, packing, gaskets and reinforcement.

See Aluminum silicate fiber.
