The glass films are remarkably stable, remaining transparent over 12+ months as well as in contact with water and can be reprocessed via solvation in a wide range of organic solvents. The solubility, long-term stability and thermo-responsive properties of the bio-derived glass makes it an ideal candidate for use as a window where its reprocessability at easily accessible temperatures are attractive.
