Endodontic fiber posts: glass vs quartz. Can you explain composition and manufacturing differences?

I don't ask about clinical and commercial differences, but I would like to know more from the industrial, chemical and physical point of view. What are the real differences between glass and quartz fibers? For example, a typical quartz fiber post is the RTD Double-Tapered Quartz Post (RTD Geneve/Dentsply International) and typical glass fiber posts are the Luscent Anchors Glass Post (Dentatus) and the RelyX Fiber Post (3M).

Quartz fiber is a glass fiber with a much bigger purity.
Quartz fiber contains 99 % silica, Glass fiber contains lower level of silica.

More than this, the manufacturing process is the key.
