    Abstract: Articles and methods related to the cold-forming of glass laminate articles utilizing stress prediction analysis are provided. A cold-forming estimator (CFE) value that is related to the stress experienced by a glass sheet of a glass laminate during cold-forming is calculated based on a plurality of geometric parameters of glass layer(s) of a glass laminate article. The calculated CFE value is compared to a cold-forming threshold related to the probability that defects are formed in the complexly curved glass laminate article during cold-forming. Cold-formed glass laminate articles are also provided having geometric parameters such that the CFE value is below the cold-forming threshold.

    Abstract: Methods of forming a foldable apparatus can involve contacting an existing first major surface of a foldable substrate with an alkaline solution to remove an outer layer to form a new first major surface. In aspects, the alkaline solution comprises about 10 weight % or more of a hydroxide-containing base and/or a pH of about 14 or more. Methods of forming a foldable apparatus can comprise contacting a first major surface of a foldable substrate with a first alkaline detergent solution under sonication. Methods of forming a foldable apparatus can comprise contacting an existing first major surface of a foldable substrate with an acidic solution having a pH from about 3.3 to about 3.5 and a fluorine-containing compound. Methods of forming a foldable apparatus can comprise contacting an existing first major surface of a foldable substrate with a solution comprising fluorosilicic acid.

    Abstract: A cold-formed glass laminate may include a first ply of 3D formed glass with a first thickness and a first strength. The first ply may include pre-formed residual compressive stresses in a peripheral edge portion adapted to offset tensile stresses resulting from a cold-forming process. The laminate may also include a second ply of 3D formed glass with a second thickness less than the first thickness and a second strength greater than the first strength. An adhesive may be arranged between the first ply and the second ply and post-formed residual stresses in the peripheral edge portion of the first ply of the laminate may remain compressive. A method of forming a glass laminate with compressive edge stresses is also described.

    Abstract: A glass article having a first glass layer, a second glass layer disposed adjacent to the first glass layer, and an interface slidably coupling the first glass layer to the second glass layer. The interface has a thickness of from 2 nm to 500 nm. The glass article is characterized by: (a) an absence of failure when the article is held at a parallel plate separation distance of 10 mm for 60 minutes at 25° C. and 50% relative humidity; (b) a puncture resistance of greater than about 6 kgf when the second glass layer is supported by (i) a 50 μm thick pressure-sensitive adhesive having an elastic modulus of less than 1 GPa and (ii) an approximately 100 μm thick polyethylene terephthalate layer having an elastic modulus of less than 10 GPa, and the first glass layer is loaded with a tungsten carbide ball having a 1 mm diameter.
