Laboratory glassware may be made from several types of [[glass]], each with different capabilities and used for different purposes. [[Borosilicate glass]] is a type of transparent glass that is composed of boron oxide and silica, its main feature is a low coefficient of thermal expansion making it more resistant to thermal shock than most other glasses.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Soo-Jin Park |first=Min-Kang Seo |date=2011 |title=Element and Processing |url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/chemistry/borosilicate-glass#:~:text=Borosilicate%20glass%20is%20a%20type,than%20any%20other%20common%20glass. |journal=Interface Science and Technology |volume=18 |pages=431–499|doi=10.1016/B978-0-12-375049-5.00006-2 |isbn=9780123750495 }}</ref> [[Quartz glass]] can withstand very high temperatures and is transparent in certain parts of the [[electromagnetic spectrum]].  Darkened brown or amber (actinic) glass can block [[ultraviolet]] and [[infrared]] radiation.  Heavy-wall glass can withstand pressurized applications. [[Fritted glass]] is finely porous glass through which gas or liquid may pass.  Coated glassware is specially treated to reduce the occurrence of breakage or failure. [[Silanization|Silanized]] (siliconized) glassware is specially treated to prevent organic samples from sticking to the glass.<ref name="Siliconized">{{cite journal|last1=Bhargava|first1=Hemendra|title=Improved Recovery of Morphine from Biological Tissues Using Siliconized Glassware|journal=Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences|date=1977|volume=66|issue=7|pages=1044–1045|doi=10.1002/jps.2600660738|pmid=886442}}</ref>
