Abstract

The invention of laminated safety glass is attributed to the French chemist and artist Edouard Benedictus (1878-1930), who developed the innovation known as Triplex glass after inspiration struck via a fortuitous laboratory accident. Licensed first to the English Triplex Safety Glass Company in 1912, with production later carried out in the US, Triplex glass was first applied to automobiles during the first World War. While the story of his lab accident can be found in many sources, it has become more legend than historical fact. To rectify this, a more accurate account of Benedictus and the development of Triplex glass is presented based on historical records.

艺术与灵感：Edouard Benedictus 和夹层安全玻璃的发明。

夹层安全玻璃的发明要归功于法国化学家和艺术家爱德华-本尼迪塔斯（1878-1930 年），他在一次偶然的实验室事故中获得灵感，开发出了被称为 Triplex 玻璃的创新产品。1912 年，三层安全玻璃首先授权给英国三层安全玻璃公司，随后在美国进行生产，并在第一次世界大战期间首次应用于汽车。虽然关于他的实验室事故的故事可以在许多资料中找到，但它已成为传说而非史实。为了纠正这一现象，我们将根据历史记录对本尼迪塔斯和三元玻璃的发展进行更准确的描述。
