Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to fiberizable glass
compositions comprising boron oxide at least one rare earth oxide in a
molar ratio of rare earth oxide to boron oxide ranging from 0.01 to 0.33.
Other embodiments of the present invention relate to methods of
inhibiting boron volatization from glass compositions comprising boron
oxide by adding a rare earth oxide to the glass composition before
melting the glass compositions. Still other embodiments of the present
invention relate to glass fibers formed from the fiberizable glass
compositions of the present invention, and polymeric composites and
printed circuit boards made therefrom.
