Publication number: 20230112425Abstract: A coated glass article includes a glass article comprising a glass having a surface. The surface has an adhesion promoting region comprising a nanostructure formed at the surface of the glass. The adhesion promoting region is constructed of materials that are the same as one or more constituents of a glass composition of the glass. The coated glass article further includes a coating disposed on the adhesion promoting region formed at the surface of the glass. The coating incudes one or more polymer coating materials. The adhesion promoting region improves adhesion of the coating to the glass while also eliminating the use of titania or other adhesion promoting compounds that can adversely affect the optical properties of the coatings.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2022Publication date: April 13, 2023Inventors: Dane Alphanso Christie, Richard Michael Fiacco, Insik Jeon, Eric Emil Leonhardt

Publication number: 20220223928Abstract: A coated separator including a microporous film and a coating on at least one side of the microporous film, wherein the coated separator shuts down at a temperature less than or equal to 140° C. In some embodiments, the coating causes the separator to shutdown at a temperature lower than the temperature at which the microporous film would shrink more than 15%, more than 12%, more than 10%, or preferably more than 5% without any coating. The microporous film of the separator by itself (uncoated) does not shut down or does not shutdown at a temperature less than or equal to 140° C. The microporous film may shut down at a temperature between 140° C. and 350° C. The coating of the coated separator may contain polyethylene, binder, and inorganic or heat resistant fine particles. Fine particles may have a particle size D50 less than or equal to 500 nm.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2020Publication date: July 14, 2022Inventors: Insik Jeon, James Rapley, Fru Azeh
