Friedrich Otto Schott (1851–1935) was a German chemist, glass technologist, and the inventor of borosilicate glass. Schott systematically investigated the relationship between the chemical composition of the glass and its properties.

Otto Schott (1851-1935) is considered to be the inventor of modern glass science and the forerunner of the specialty glass industry. With his systematic research, the chemist was the first to develop glasses with precise predetermined properties that could be reproduced at any time.

Otto Schott, a glass chemist and manufacturer, was born in Witten, Germany on December 17, 1851. He is considered a leading pioneer in modern glass chemistry due to his creation of a variety of high quality glass for the optics industry.

They engaged Otto Schott, a chemist, who developed about 100 new kinds of optical glass and numerous types of heat-resistant glass (later called Jena glass) at a glassworks the three founded.

December 17th 2001, is the 150th anniversary of the birth of Otto Schott. The glass chemist and technician was one of the most important scientists, technologists and entrepreneurs in Germany in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Apr 28, 2015 · Within a year of moving to Jena, Schott had a lithium-based glass that could realise Newton’s and Abbé’s dream: the separation of refractive index and dispersion. In the words of a contemporary commentator, the choice of glass was now two-dimensional.

Although Abbe had given Zeiss the mathematical foundation for the microscope lens, they needed someone to craft the lens. It was then that Abbe met with glass chemist Otto Schott, who had just received his doctorate from the University of Jena.

Die Technische Hochschule Dresden verlieh Schott 1905 die Ehrendoktorwürde. Die Deutsche Glastechnische Gesellschaft ehrte ihn 1925 als „Begründer der neuzeitlichen Glastechnik“. Das „Otto-Schott-Institut für Materialforschung der Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena“ trägt seinen Namen, [8] ebenso die Otto-Schott-Straße. Das Werk Schotts kann heute in der Schott-Villa …

Friedrich Otto Schott was a German chemist, glass technologist, and the inventor of borosilicate glass. He was the son of a window glass maker, Simon Schott. From 1870 to 1873 Schott studied chemical technology at the technical college in Aachen and at …

The founder of SCHOTT, Otto Schott, is considered to be the inventor of specialty glass and the trailblazer of the specialty glass industry. With his groundbreaking glass developments, he embedded a pioneering spirit deep in the SCHOTT DNA more than 140 years ago.
