Talk:Alon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aloha!

ALON (polycrystalline aluminum oxynitride) is also a new and very interesting Aluminum bases ceramic material that can be made to be transparent for visual light. The material seems to be heading as replacement for bullet proof glass. Some links:

• <a href = "http://www.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123012131">Air Force testing new transparent armor</a>
• <a href = "http://www.reade.com/ezine/vol2issue1/reade0201_en_1.shtml">ALON™ - a tough, new, lightweight, transparent ceramic material</a>

I think information about this material should be added to the great Wikipedia, preferably under "alon". At least that's what I tried to find it under. ;-)
