Patent number: 10913856Abstract: A range of processes is described herein for the preparation of a range of gold nanoparticle (Au NP) ceramic glazes with traditional firing methods that represents significant efficiency and ecological advancements over existing methods and allows for the replacement of commercial ceramic colorant methods, while retaining the costly equipment and firing methods already used. The process allows for ceramic surface color while breaking standards for minimal amounts of transition metal colorant used. The nanoparticle-based glazes described here add new colors to the known ceramic surface palette and offers greater consumer safety as an alternative to existing coloring processes that use higher concentrations of toxic metal and an increased risk of metal leaching from the final ceramic vessel into its contents (e.g., soil, beverage, food).Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2017Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: University of RichmondInventors: Ryan Coppage, Michael Leopold, Christine Lacy

Patent number: 8329806Abstract: The method for producing flaky-glass granules of the present invention is a method for producing flaky-glass granules by allowing a plurality of glass flakes to be bonded to each other so as to be granulated. The method includes the steps of: (I) adding at least one liquid selected from water and a volatile organic solvent to the plurality of glass flakes and stirring a resultant mixture, and (II) drying the plurality of glass flakes stirred with the liquid added thereto. Unlike conventional flaky-glass granules, the flaky-glass granules produced by this method contain neither a binder nor a surface treatment agent for bonding the glass flakes to each other. Thus, when mixed into a thermoplastic resin to be molded at a high temperature, the flaky-glass granules cause neither foam inclusion nor discoloration in a molded article of the resin.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2008Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Assignee: Nippon Sheet Glass Company, LimitedInventor: Takeshi Maeda

Publication number: 20040232839Abstract: A glass paste used as a starting material of a transparent dielectric of a plasma display panel (“PDP”), the glass paste enabling the baking time required in forming a dielectric layer of the PDP to be shortened without reducing the transmissivity of the dielectric layer. A decomposition accelerator for accelerating the decomposition of an organic component is included in the glass paste so as to contact with the organic component. As a result, the decomposition of the organic component is accelerated when the glass paste is baked. Moreover, since the organic component is substantially eliminated before the baking temperature reaches a temperature at which a glass powder in the glass paste begins to melt, gas from decomposing organic component is not generated when the glass powder melts, and consequently the trapping of gas bubbles within the dielectric layer is prevented.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2004Publication date: November 25, 2004Inventors: Morio Fujitani, Hiroyuki Yonehara, Masaki Aoki, Hideki Asida, Junichi Hibino

Patent number: 6809049Abstract: The present invention provides glass compositions that can be used instead of known glass compositions containing a large amount of PbO in applications such as coating ceramic substrates, e.g., alumina, or sealing fluorescent tubes or the like. The invention also provides glass forming materials containing the glass compositions as a primary component for glass formation. Glass compositions provided by the present invention are comprises essentially of primary oxide components. The primary oxide components include ZnO, B2O3 and P2O5 as essential components and Al2O3, MgO, CaO and BaO as optional components. The amount of the primary oxide components is 85 wt % or more (preferably 90 wt % or more) of the total weight of the glass composition. Typically, the primary oxide components include 45 to 80% of ZnO, 5 to 45% of B2O3, 1 to 35% of P2O5, 0 to 10% of Al2O3, 0 to 15% of MgO, 0 to 10% of CaO, and 0 to 5% of BaO.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2002Date of Patent: October 26, 2004Assignee: Noritake Co., Ltd.Inventor: Jun Hirose

Patent number: 6699807Abstract: A glass ceramic, for use as a resistor or a gas-tight glass ceramic solder for use in a spark plug, includes a fused seal of a starting glass fused from a starting mixture containing SiO2, Al2O3, TiO2 and CaO, the fused seal including crystalline phases in at least some areas. A method for producing such a glass ceramic provides for the starting glass to be processed in a first method step to form a starting material, which is heated for a first period of time in a second method step from a starting temperature, which is below the softening temperature of the starting glass, to a fusion temperature, which is above the softening temperature of the starting glass, and is kept at that temperature for a second period of time and finally is cooled again. A spark plug may include a terminal stud and a center electrode, which are electrically connected across a resistor that is formed in at least some areas by the glass ceramic.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2002Date of Patent: March 2, 2004Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Heinz Geier, Rudolf Pollner, Imke Koengeter, Ulrich Eisele
