"Novel ‘inorganic gel casting’ process for the manufacturing of glass foams" https://reader.elsevier.com/reader/sd/pii/S0955221917300262?token=1209D90AC816560DE61DA6AAD33C17D930A30E80C3889E41BCB0162C6B2F7D9757FC02004751B9CD9BF8B15CFA2C086F

There is a lot of good information in this article, just make sure to insert the citations by linking them through the "cite" tool, also maybe add some more citations since the existing article has a lot of information that has not been cited. Other than adding citations it would be great to link a few more of the terms used, such as "limestone", "insulation" or "cork" just to give people a bit more context as these construction methods are a bit unusual to most. It would also be really great to see more pictures of foam glass and how it is used. There is a list of common uses at the end of the existing Wiki page that are really interesting and it would be great to see a graphic to match to make the information more effective.

One more suggestion is to add a time period to the manufacturing section. There is a lot of information about the creation of foam glass historically, but giving the original year of development and supplying a use timeline of when it became a prominent construction material would be great. Also, are there certain types of construction that it would not be beneficial to use foam glass? What are it's weaknesses?

To really go in depth, the section describing uses could be expanded upon a little bit, giving a more detailed explaination of one of the practical applications. Definitely add some pictures though, I think it would be really helpful and interesting to see how this material can be used.

Instructor comments
Your peer reviewer has made some excellent points, the most critical of which is incorporating citations as footnotes throughout the text. Other Wikipedia users will likely question specific points, such as dates and applications, unless there are footnotes to support them. Can you compare foam glass against other materials for the same applications, i.e., how do its weight, fire resistance, and other properties compare to those of more traditional insulating materials? Is it really "waterproof" or does it just have low absorption or permeability? There also seems to be only one new citation in the article, and there should be at least two.
