摘要:
A process for producing glass laminates including at least one sheet of glass having a thickness not exceeding 1.0 mm with reduced optical distortion and shape consistency. A pre-laminate stack of two glass sheets and a polymer interlayer are stacked between two buffer plates that are formed nominally to the desired shape of the laminate mold. The pre-laminate stack is held between the buffer plates while a vacuum is applied to the edges of the pre-laminate stack and the stack is heated to a temperature somewhat above the softening temperature of the interlayer to de-air and tack the interlayer to the two glass sheets forming the desired shaped laminate with reduced optical distortion.

Methods apply a layer of material to a glass sheet having a non-planar shape. The methods can each include the step of providing the glass sheet having an initial non-planar shape including a thickness defined between a first sheet surface and a second sheet surface. The method further includes the step of at least partially flattening the glass sheet into an application shape. The method further includes the step of applying the layer of material to the first sheet surface while the glass sheet is in the application shape. The method then includes the step of releasing the glass sheet to relax into a post non-planar shape.
摘要:
A thin glass laminate is provided including at least one or two thin glass sheets with at least one polymer interlayer laminated therebetween. The laminate has a high level of adhesion between the two glass sheets and the interlayer, such that the laminate has a pummel value of at least 7, at least 8, or at least 9. The laminate also has a high penetration resistance of at least 20 feet mean break height. The polymer interlayers have a thickness ranging from about 0.5 mm to about 2.5 mm and are formed of an ionomer, poly vinyl butyral, or polycarbonate. At least one or both of the two glass sheets are chemically strengthened.
摘要:
A process and system for applying coating materials to glass edges of various profiles. The glass edge is coated by picking up the coating material from an applicator such as, for example, a roller, through precise independent or relative control of the spatial relationship between the edge of the glass article and the applicator to achieve desirable product attributes such as coating thickness, profile, coverage areas and consistency. Such spatial relationships include the gap distance between the roller and applicator, coating thickness on the applicator, applicator and/or glass speed, and the like.

A fluidic module (100) is provided comprising at least two independent sets (10A,10B) of fluid microchannels (10), a network of glass channel walls (20), one or more thermal exchange partitions (30), and one or more bonding layers (40). The fluid microchannels (10) are configured such that at least a portion of the fluid flow path of one set of microchannels (10A) is partitioned from a portion of the fluid flow path of another set of microchannels (10B) by a thermal exchange partition (30). The thermal exchange partition (30) comprises a non-glassy composition characterized by a thermal conductivity greater than approximately 15 W/(m•K). Respective channel wall end portions (25) of the network of channel walls (20) interface with the thermal exchange partition (30) via one or more bonding pads defined by the bonding layer (40). The bonding layer (40) comprises a glass composition characterized by a thermal conductivity that is less than the thermal conductivity of the thermal exchange partition (30) and by a coefficient of thermal expansion that approximates the coefficient of thermal expansion of the thermal exchange partition (30). The bonding pads defined by the bonding layer (40) lie between the channel wall end portions (25) of the network of glass channel walls (20) and the thermal exchange partition (30) and the bonding layer (40) extends at least partially along the thermal exchange partition (30) into the fluid flow paths of the fluid microchannels (10), as defined by the network of glass channel walls (20).
摘要:
Laminated structures comprise a metal sheet including a first face and a second face with a thickness of from about 0.5 mm to about 2 mm extending between the first face and the second face. The laminated structure further includes a first chemically strengthened glass sheet including a thickness of less than or equal to about 1.1 mm and a first interlayer attaching the first chemically strengthened glass sheet to the first face of the metal sheet. In further examples, methods of manufacturing a laminated structure comprise the steps of laminating with a metal sheet and a first chemically strengthened glass sheet together with an interlayer.
摘要:
A new laminated glass structure for automotive glazing, architectural window and other applications that includes two sheets of relatively thin, optionally chemically strengthened glass, such as Corning® Gorilla® Glass, with a composite interlayer structure that includes at least one relatively stiff layer having relatively high Young's modulus of 50 MPa or higher and a relatively softer polymer layer having a relatively low Young's modulus of 20 MPa or lower.
