Abstract
This paper presents a novel strategy for creating three-dimensional (3D) transparent glass objects using origami techniques. The process involves a dynamic covalent polymer matrix with dispersed silica nanoparticles, which exhibits plasticity allowing it to be folded into complex shapes. Subsequent pyrolysis and sintering convert the folded composite into transparent 3D glass, expanding the possibilities for glass shaping and applications.
