  • GLASS POLYMER LAMINATES WITH COMPRESSIVE TOP LAYER
    Publication number: 20230415456
    Abstract: Laminated glass-based articles are provided. The glass-based articles include at least a first glass-based layer, a second glass-based layer, and a polymer layer disposed between the first and second glass-based layers. The first glass-based layer includes a compressive stress. A difference between the coefficient of thermal of expansion of the first glass-based layer and the coefficient of thermal of expansion of the second glass-based layer is greater than or equal to 0.4 ppm/° C. Methods of producing the laminated glass-based articles are also provided.

  • Locally strengthened glass-ceramics and methods of making the same
    Patent number: 11845689
    Abstract: Locally cerammed optically transparent glass-ceramic articles for consumer products. The locally cerammed glass-ceramic articles may have one or more primary glass-ceramic regions including primary crystal phases of a glass-ceramic material and one or more secondary glass-ceramic regions including secondary crystal phases of the glass-ceramic material. The primary glass-ceramic region(s) may be optically transparent and the secondary glass-ceramic region(s) may be non-optically transparent. The primary glass-ceramic region(s) may have a fracture toughness less than the fracture toughness of the secondary glass-ceramic region(s).

  • HIGH STRENGTH TRANSPARENT GLASS-CERAMIC CONTAINERS
    Publication number: 20200391898
    Abstract: Glass-ceramic containers and methods of making glass ceramic containers with high transparency and fracture toughness suitable for use as, for example a beverage or food container, such as for example, a baby bottle or personal hydration bottle. The glass ceramic containers may have an average wall thickness in the range of 1 mm to 2.5 mm and a fracture toughness of 1 MPa*m{circumflex over (?)}½ or more.
