Abstract: Described herein are articles and methods of making articles, including a first sheet and a second sheet, wherein the thin sheet and carrier are bonded together using a coating layer, preferably a hydrocarbon polymer coating layer, and associated deposition methods and inert gas treatments that may be applied on either sheet, or both, to control van der Waals, hydrogen and covalent bonding between the sheets. The coating layer bonds the sheets together to prevent formation of a permanent bond at high temperature processing while at the same time maintaining a sufficient bond to prevent delamination during high temperature processing.

Abstract: A method is described herein of making a textured glass article, the method includes: etching an initial primary surface of a glass substrate having a thickness with a hydrofluoric acid-free etchant having a pH of about 3 or less; and removing the etchant from the glass substrate, such that the etching is conducted from above ambient temperature to about 100° C. to form a textured region that is defined by a primary surface of the substrate and comprises a sparkle of 2% or less, and the etching comprises a plurality of batch cycles.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for treating a glass substrate, comprising bringing a surface of the glass substrate into contact with a plasma comprising at least one hydrocarbon for a time sufficient to form a coating on at least a portion of the surface. Also disclosed herein are glass substrates comprising at least one surface, wherein at least a portion of the surface is coated with a layer comprising at least one hydrocarbon, wherein the coated portion of the surface has a contact angle ranging from about 15 degrees to about 95 degrees, and/or a surface energy of less than about 65 mJ/m2.
