  • Emulsion compositions and methods for strengthening glass
    Patent number: 11247938
    Abstract: The present invention provides, in various embodiments, compositions and methods for strengthening glass without heat or chemical processing of the glass itself. The compositions of the present invention are emulsions comprising polymer colloid particles that are functionalized with an organosilicon compound. The polymer colloid particles can fill surface defects in the glass due to their size being smaller than the surface defects, and the functional groups thereon can react with the surface of the glass to anchor the particles in the defects.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 8, 2018
    Date of Patent: February 15, 2022
    Assignee: C-Bond Systems, LLC
    Inventors: Erik K. Koep, Vince Pugliese, Bruce E. Rich, Andrew R. Barron
  • Multipurpose solution for strengthening and surface modification of glass substrates
    Patent number: 11155491
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a composition and one-step method of strengthening glass without heat or chemical processing of the glass itself, while also modifying the surface for improved surface properties. The multifunctional composition is a liquid that can be applied at room temperature and pressure as a topical coating on glass as well as other brittle materials.
