Abstract: In order to provide a decorative coating (9) which exhibits improved temperature resistance and strength on glass and glass-ceramic and which also has no strength-reducing effect on the substrate (3), or at least no longer has any substantially strength-reducing effect on the substrate, the invention envisions a process for producing glass or glass-ceramic articles having a decorative layer in which at least one decorative pigment (13) is mixed with a sol-gel binder (11), and the pigment mixed with the sol-gel binder is cured on the glass or glass-ceramic substrate of the article by annealing, to form a decorative layer having a porous ceramiclike structure.

Abstract: A substrate with a sol-gel layer and to a method for producing a composite material wherein a barrier layer is placed between the sol-gel layer and the substrate are provided.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for deposition of an anti-reflection layer, in which glass particles are embedded in a titanium oxide containing matrix that is produced by a sol-gel method.

Abstract: The invention relates to the production and use of a gray hue palette for decorative coatings based on a sol-gel method for glass and glass-ceramic articles, wherein flake-form pigments and solid lubricant are used in specific mass ratios as decorative pigments. The pigmentation provides a high-temperature-stable decorative layer, has good adhesive strength between the substrate and the decorative layer, has good impermeability relative to fluids and gases during use, as well as a high resistance to scratching. The invention further relates to glass or glass-ceramic articles with decorative coatings which are produced, in particular, according to the method of the invention, which are suitable particularly for use as glass-ceramic cooktops due to the named good layer properties of the decorative layer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a glass or glass-ceramic article, comprising a decorative layer and a sealing layer. The two layers are produced by means of a sol-gel process and contain, in addition, at least fillers and inorganic pigments, wherein it is possible for the pigmentation of the decorative layer and the sealing layer to be the same or else different. In order to achieve a good adhesive strength and impermeability of the decorative coating, certain composition rules in regard to the quantity and kind of inorganic pigments used must be observed and, surprisingly, are different for the sealing layer according to the invention than for the decorative layer. The invention relates, furthermore, to a glass or glass-ceramic article with decorative coatings, produced particularly according to the method of the invention, said article being suitable especially for use as glass-ceramic cooktops.

Abstract: A transparent, colorless glass or glass-ceramic panel has a visually dense, high-temperature-stable coating having an organic/inorganic network structure containing filling material particles and a color-imparting pigment. The mechanically stable, visually dense coating has no melt-reaction zone at the surface of the panel, which is coated with the coating, so that it does not impair the panel strength. The inorganic network structure can be made from a SiO2-based sol. The coating is made by introducing the color-imparting pigment and the filling material particles into a reactive organic/inorganic network structure; applying the resulting organic/inorganic network structure containing the pigment and the filling material particles to the panel to coat the panel and then burning-in the organic/inorganic network structure with the pigment and the filling material particles under thermal conditions to form the coating with no melt-reaction zone.
