Patent number: 11337425Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a chemically strengthened glass having antimicrobial properties and to a method of making such glass. In particular, the disclosure is directed to a chemically strengthened glass with antimicrobial properties and with a low surface energy coating on the glass that does not interfere with the antimicrobial properties of the glass. The antimicrobial has an Ag ion concentration on the surface in the range of greater than zero to 0.047 ?g/cm2. The glass has particular applications as antimicrobial shelving, table tops and other applications in hospitals, laboratories and other institutions handling biological substances, where color in the glass is not a consideration.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2019Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: CORNING INCORPORATEDInventors: Nicholas Francis Borrelli, David Lathrop Morse, Wageesha Senaratne, Florence Christine Monique Verrier, Ying Wei

Patent number: 10683232Abstract: A photochromic glass that includes a base glass and a photochromic agent is described. The base glass is a modified boroaluminosilicate glass and the photochromic agent is a nanocrystalline cuprous halide phase. The photochromic glass exhibits a sharp cutoff in the UV or short wavelength visible portion of the spectrum along with an absorption band at longer wavelengths in the visible. The nanocrystalline cuprous halide phase includes Cu2+, which provides states within the bandgap of the cuprous halide that permit the glass to absorb visible light. Absorption of visible light drives a photochromic transition without compromising the sharp cutoff. The nanocrystalline cuprous halide phase may optionally include Ag.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2018Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignee: Corning IncorporatedInventors: Roger Jerome Araujo, Nicholas Francis Borrelli, Nadja Teresia Lönnroth, David Lathrop Morse, Thomas Philip Seward, III
