Publication number: 20170197877Abstract: Certain example embodiments relate to an improved method of strengthening glass substrates (e.g., soda lime silica glass substrates). In certain examples, a glass substrate may be chemically strengthened by creating an electric field within the glass. In certain cases, the chemical tempering may be performed by surrounding the substrate by a plasma including certain ions, such as Li+, K+, Mg2+, and/or the like. In some cases, these ions may be forced into the glass substrate due to the half-cycles of the electric field generated by the electrodes that formed the plasma. This may advantageously chemically strengthen a glass substrate on a substantially reduced time scale. In other example embodiments, an electric field may be set in a float bath such that sodium ions are driven from the molten glass ribbon into the tin bath, which may advantageously result in a stronger glass substrate with reduced sodium content.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2017Publication date: July 13, 2017Inventors: Vijayen S.

Publication number: 20170197899Abstract: A method for improving preservation stability of 2,2-difluoroacetaldehyde according to the present invention include at least: a first step of forming a “2,2-difluoroacetaldehyde-alcohol composite system” in which a 2,2-difluoroacetaldehyde hemiacetal coexists with an excess alcohol, wherein the total molar amount of the alcohol is 1.15 to 4.00 times the total molar amount of 2,2-difluoroacetaldehyde; and a second step of storing, in a storage container, the “2,2-difluoroacetaldehyde-alcohol composite system” formed in the first step. It is possible by this method to suppress the conversion of the 2,2-difluoroacetaldehyde hemiacetal to a dimer and maintain the original aldehyde activity of the target compound with less composition change over a long term.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 19, 2015Publication date: July 13, 2017Inventors: Masaaki TAKEDA, Shinya AKIBA, Ryo NADANO
