Abstract:
UV-curable coating compositions are provided including (in weight %) 5-50% cycloaliphatic crosslinker of the formula wherein R is wherein X is a C1-4 straight chain, 20-55% of a summed amount of an oxetane crosslinker and an epoxy diluent, 35-45% epoxy functionalized silicon nanoparticles, 1-5% epoxy silane adhesion promoter and 0.5-2% photoinitiator.
Abstract:
A cover element for a foldable electronic device that includes a foldable glass element, first and second primary surfaces, and a compressive stress region extending from the first primary surface to a first depth that is defined by a stress σI of at least about 100 MPa in compression at the first primary surface. The device also includes a polymeric layer disposed over the first primary surface. The glass element has a stress profile such that when the glass element is bent to a target bend radius of from 1 mm to 20 mm, to induce a bending stress σB at the first primary surface in tension, σI+σB
