Abstract: A glass container that includes a microwave susceptor coating on an exterior surface thereof, and a process for healing flaws in an exterior portion of the glass container. When the glass container is exposed to microwave radiation, the microwave susceptor coating generates heat and selectively and locally provides a major portion of such heat to regions of glass in the exterior portion of the glass container that are in close proximity to the flaws. These regions of glass in the exterior portion of the glass container may be selectively and locally heated so that the glass therein can flow and thereby fill-in the flaws in the exterior portion of the glass container. This process can be used to heal flaws in an exterior portion of a glass container without impairing the structural integrity of the glass container.

Abstract: A method of applying a coating to a glass container, which includes the steps of coating an exterior surface of the glass container with a thermally-curable coating material containing electrically-conductive nanoparticles, and exposing the coated container to radio frequency radiation such that absorption of the radio frequency radiation by the nanoparticles internally heats and cures the thermally-curable coating material on the exterior surface of the glass container to result in a cured coating on the glass container.

Abstract: Certain example embodiments relate to coatings comprising nano-particle loaded metal oxide matrices deposited via combustion deposition. The matrix and the nano-particles comprising the coating may be of or include the same metal or a different metal. For example, the coating may include a silicon oxide matrix (e.g., SiO2, or other suitable stoichiometry) having silicon oxide (e.g., silica), titanium oxide (e.g., TiO2, titania, or other suitable stoichiometry), and/or other nano-particles embedded therein. In certain example embodiments, the coating may serve as an anti-reflective (AR) coating and, in certain example embodiments, a percent visible transmission gain of at least about 2.0%, and more preferably between about 3.0-3.5%, may be realized through the growth of a film on a first surface of the substrate. In certain example embodiments, the microstructure of the final deposited coating may resemble the microstructure of coatings produced by wet chemical (e.g., sol gel) techniques.
