Glass-coated microwires successfully produced by this method include copper, silver, gold, iron, platinum, and various alloy compositions.
This is what makes these wires useful in technological applications because they can easily control the flow of electricity in a device.
The wires will remain stable until the glass, in this case Pyrex (borosilicate), begins to soften.
Amorphous metal cores with special magnetic properties can even be employed in such articles as security tags and related devices.
Cobalt and iron base alloys are used to produce anti-shoplifting labels and security papers.
The glass-coated wire has also proven quite valuable in devices that are used to sense brain tumors and used in medical equipment.
The Taylor-Ulitovski process has been proven successful in academic environments however it was never duplicated for high volume mass production.
Using the Adar-Bolotinsky process has made it possible to coat these wires with glass which protects it from oxidisation, increasing the shelf and operating life.
