  • Publication number: 20230064818
    Abstract: Glass-based substrates are described herein that may be processed by methods including applying a cover article onto a glass-based substrate, submerging the glass-based substrate in an etchant, and maintaining the submersion of the glass-based substrate in the etchant. The glass-based substrate may include a covered surface portion and an exposed surface portion. At least a portion of the covered surface portion may be in direct contact with the cover article. The covered surface portion may not be in contact with the etchant and the exposed surface portion may be in direct contact with the etchant. The etchant may contact the exposed surface portion and the cover article fora time sufficient to etch the exposed surface portion. The cover article may provide a barrier between the etchant and the covered surface portion for the entirety of the submerging.

  • Publication number: 20180361352
    Abstract: An adsorbent article for CO2 capture and methods of making the same. The adsorbent article for CO2 capture includes a ceramic substrate, a plurality of inorganic support particles, and an organic CO2 sorbent on the support particles. The ceramic substrate includes a plurality of porous partitions walls that define a plurality of open channels extending from an inlet end to an outlet end of the ceramic substrate. The organic CO2 sorbent is supported by the inorganic support particles within the pores of porous partition walls of the ceramic substrate. The surfaces of the porous partition walls surfaces defining the open channels are essentially free of the organic CO2 sorbent.

  • Patent number: 9205362
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a particulate filter includes plugging at least some of the channels of a green cellular ceramic body on a first end with a green plugging material that includes a liquid vehicle to form a partially plugged green cellular ceramic body, firing the partially plugged green cellular ceramic body to form a partially plugged ceramic article, and plugging at least some of the channels on a second end of the partially plugged ceramic article with a plugging material that sets at a temperature of less than 1000° C.
