    摘要: A method of making a strengthened article that includes: providing an article comprising a glass, glass-ceramic or ceramic composition with a plurality of ion-exchangeable alkali metal ions, a first primary surface and a second primary surface; forming a SiO2-containing film over the first primary surface, wherein the SiO2-containing film comprises a thickness from about 5 nanometers to about 20 nanometers; forming an anti-glare surface integral with the second primary surface; providing a first ion-exchange bath comprising a plurality of ion-exchanging alkali metal ions, each having a larger size than the size of the ion-exchangeable alkali metal ions; and submersing the article in the first ion-exchange bath at a first ion-exchange temperature and duration to form a strengthened article. Further, the strengthened article comprises a compressive stress region extending from the first primary surface and the second primary surface to first and second selected depths, respectively.

    摘要: A method for preparing a microstructure on the surface of glass by titanium oxide nanoparticle-assisted infrared nanosecond laser, including the following steps: (1) dropwise applying a titanium oxide nanoparticle hydrogel onto the surface of a glass sample; (2) pressing another piece of glass on the surface of the hydrogel, so the hydrogel is evenly distributed between the two pieces of glass, and allowing the two pieces of glass to stand horizontally for a period of time to air-dry the hydrogel; (3) separating the two pieces of glass to obtain a glass with a uniform titanium oxide nanoparticle coating; (4) forming a microstructure using an infrared nanosecond laser with a wavelength of 1064 nm; and (5) performing after-treatment, including ultrasonically cleaning the sample with acetone, absolute ethanol and deionized water respectively for 10 min to remove titanium oxide nanoparticles attached to the surface, to obtain a glass sample with the microstructure.
