appreciable adj. 可評(píng)估的；可感知的；相當(dāng)可觀的resistance to thermal impact vt. 影響；撞擊；沖突；壓緊vi. 沖擊；產(chǎn)生影響n. 影響；效果；碰撞；沖擊力

 and higher temperatures, also has excellent resistance to

chemical attack.

In this glass structure, the first to carry the Pyrex trademark, some of the SiO² is replaced by boric oxide.

Borosilicate glass has a low coefficient of thermal expansion

and is, thus, suited for telescope mirrors and other precision

parts. Also, because this glass can withstand thermal shock, it is used for oven and laboratory ware, headlamp ['hedlæmp] n. 桅燈；照明燈；車前燈lenses, and boiler gage glasses. Most borosilicate glasses have better resistance to acids than do soda-lime堿石灰 glasses, but poor resistance to alkalis'ælkəlai] n. 堿；可溶性無(wú)機(jī)鹽adj. 堿性的. Glass fibers used in reinforcing plastic compounds ['kɔmpaund, kəm'paund] n. 化合物；混合物；復(fù)合詞are a modified borosilicate glass.
