Abstract:
Laminated structures include a thin glass sheet with a thickness of less than 600 μm being attached to a metal sheet with an adhesive layer including a thickness of about 100 μm or less. These laminated structures can include planar or curved shapes. Methods of manufacturing a laminated structure are also provided including the step of attaching a glass sheet with a thickness of less than 600 μm to a metal sheet with an adhesive layer including a thickness of about 300 μm or less.

The third pane comprises first glass sheet having a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) over a temperature range 0 to about 300° C. of less than about 70×10−7/° C.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are methods for making asymmetric laminate structures and methods for reducing bow in asymmetric laminate structures, the methods comprising differentially heating the laminate structures during lamination or differentially cooling the laminate structures after lamination. Also disclosed herein are methods for reducing bow in asymmetric laminate structures, the methods comprising subjecting at least one substrate in the laminate structure to asymmetric tempering or annealing prior to lamination. Further disclosed herein are laminate structures made according to such methods.
Abstract:
Example methods of manufacturing a glass mirror apparatus includes the step of providing a chemically strengthened glass sheet with a thickness of less than or equal to about 2 mm. The method further includes the step of applying a reflective layer to the second major surface of the glass sheet to provide a first glass mirror. In further examples, a glass mirror apparatus comprises a chemically strengthened glass sheet with a thickness of less than or equal to about 2 mm. A reflective layer applied to the second major surface of the glass sheet to provide a first glass mirror.
