Lamination

Definition

Bonding of plies through interlayers to form an assembly. These are different characteristics. Do not infer one from the name of another. Fracture behaviour and comparisons require observations appropriate to the actual glass and assembly.

Context
Glass properties

For example, an interlayer joining glass plies is a feature of an assembly, distinct from the heat treatment applied to an individual ply.
