  • Roll-to-roll glass material attributes and fingerprint
    Patent number: 8062733
    Abstract: A high-silica glass sheet has an average thickness of less than 150 microns and an average surface roughness over one or both of its two major surfaces of less than 1 nm. The glass sheet is formed using a roll-to-roll glass soot deposition and sintering process. The glass sheet may comprise a plurality of substantially parallel surface protrusions, which are visible only when a major surface of the glass sheet is viewed at an angle sufficiently removed from normal incidence.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: November 22, 2011
    Assignee: Corning Incorporated

  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REMOVING GLASS SOOT SHEET FROM SUBSTRATE
    Publication number: 20110232330
    Abstract: As a precursor to forming a glass sheet, a soot layer is formed on a deposition surface using a roll-to-roll glass soot deposition process. A soot layer-separating device is configured to bring a stream of gas into contact with at least a portion of a free surface of the soot layer. The impinging gas stream affects local thermal expansion stresses at the soot layer/deposition surface interface, which separates the soot layer from the deposition surface.
