Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a chemically strengthened glass in which reduction in glass surface strength is effectively suppressed even without performing a polishing treatment after a prolonged chemical strengthening treatment has been conducted at a high temperature. The present invention relates to a chemically strengthened glass having a specific glass composition, wherein: the surface roughness (Ra) is a specific value or greater; the compressive stress layer depth of a surface layer is a specific value or greater; by setting the hydrogen concentration in the glass surface layer to be within a specific range, the surface strength of the glass is dramatically improved even without performing an etching treatment using hydrofluoric acid or polishing the glass surface after a prolonged chemical strengthening treatment has been conducted at a high temperature.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes thermally insulating glass laminates that prevent heat from escaping from heated cavities. In some embodiments, the thermally insulating glass laminates comprise a low or non-conductive coating layer that forms a chemical bond with at least one substrate, wherein the coating layer has a thickness of about 0.010 inches or less, wherein a plurality of glass spacers is submerged in the coating layer, and wherein at least one sealed cavity of gas molecules is created between the substrates and around the glass spacers. Since there is a small amount of gas molecules in each cavity, convective heat transfer between the substrates is minimized thereby minimizing heat loss through the laminates into the surrounding environment.
