Abstract: The present invention provides, in various embodiments, compositions and methods for strengthening glass without heat or chemical processing of the glass itself. The compositions of the present invention are emulsions comprising polymer colloid particles that are functionalized with an organosilicon compound. The polymer colloid particles can fill surface defects in the glass due to their size being smaller than the surface defects, and the functional groups thereon can react with the surface of the glass to anchor the particles in the defects.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a composition and one-step method of strengthening glass without heat or chemical processing of the glass itself, while also modifying the surface for improved surface properties. The multifunctional composition is a liquid that can be applied at room temperature and pressure as a topical coating on glass as well as other brittle materials.

Abstract: An intercalated lithium battery that has been fabricated in open air with a thin dense layer of amorphous solid-state lithium borate electrolyte deposited directly onto a negative electrode via flame spray pyrolysis. In one embodiment, the negative electrode is attached to a prefabricated positive electrode via hot pressing (embossing), thus forming an intercalated lithium battery. The method significantly improves upon current methods of fabricating thin film solid state batteries by permitting fabrication without the aid of a controlled environment, thereby allowing for significantly cheaper fabrication than prior batch methods.
