Background technology
At present, safety glass (or claiming ion-exchange reinforcing glass) is according to the diffusion mechanism of ion, to change glass surface to form, the metal ion that is surface layer of glass is replaced by metal ions different in fused salt, makes glass surface form a kind for the treatment of process of compressive stress layer.Glass is immersed after potassium nitrate fused salt, sodium ion in glass and the potassium ion in liquation produce ion-exchange, because potassium ion is larger than sodium ion diameter, potassium ion instead of sodium ion, make glass surface produce extruding, expand, thereby glass surface produces stress, the service life of reinforcing glass impact resistance, compressive resistance and glass.
Because ultra-thin monolithic integrated touch screen thickness is very thin, conventionally adopt the former material of 0.55 ~ 1.0mm thickness, the stress that after tempering, its positive and negative produces because of ion-exchange very easily makes the slight distortion of touch-screen, greatly increase difficulty and the efficiency of ultra-thin monolithic integrated touch screen laminating, become the industry bottleneck of the ultra-thin monolithic integrated touch screen development of restriction.

Reaction mechanism:
Take active material potassium hydroxide, alundum (Al2O3) and fining agent diatomite is that main ion-exchange catalyst can accelerate K+, N+ ion-exchange.Al2O3 plays acceleration in ion exchange process, and its reason is that Al2O3 replaces after SiO2, and volume increases.The molecular volume of [ AlO4 ] is 41cm/mol, and the molecular volume of [ SiO4 ] is 27.24cm/mol, with Al2O3, replaces after SiO2, and molecular volume increases, and structural network space expands, and is conducive to basic ion diffusion; On the other hand, volume increases, and is also conducive to absorb the potassium ion of large volume, promotes ion-exchange.
From the practical viewpoint of ion-exchange, it is very important can obtaining in the short period of time the ion-exchange layer thickness that meets requirement of strength, generally uses the glass that exchange velocity is fast, stress relaxation is little to form, and system is composed as follows:
SiO2?-RO-R2O
SiO2?-Al2O3?-R2O
SiO2?-Al2O3?-RO(MgO、CaO、SrO、ZnO、BaO、PbO)-?R2O
SiO2?-Al2O3?-B2O3-RO-?R2O
SiO2?-Al2O3?-RO-RO2(ZrO2、TiO2、CeO2)-R2O
2.~5. in the composition of system, when SiO2 content is less than 50%, the chemically stable of glass
Property is poor; Content is 65% when above, and while producing glass, raw material is difficult to fusing.General SiO2 content is advisable with 60%~65%.For the glass of heterogeneity, ion-exchange catalyst can also be introduced B2O3, ZrO2, Na2O etc. on Al2O3, KOH and diatomite basis.B2O3 and Al2O3 use, the strengthening layer thickness of ion-exchange increases, and intensity improves.Borosilicate glass carries out after ion-exchange, strengthening bed thickness 20~40um, and surface stress reaches 500~600 MPa, than high 10~20 times before processing.ZrO2 and Al2O3 use, strengthening effect is relatively good.After exchanging with the glass ion that contains TiO2 composition, intensity obviously increases, and as the glass containing TiO2 25.2%, ion-exchange rear surface stress can reach 710 MPa.Alkali metal oxide content has a significant impact ion-exchange.Na2O content increases, the corresponding increase of still layer, but Na2O content reaches 15% when above, chemical stability decline.
Ion exchange capacity between molten salt bath and glass, can calculate with following formula:
In formula: the diffusing capacity of M-ion; The content of Na2O in C0-glass basis; T-ion-exchange time.The position that potassium ion is diffused into inside glass sodium ion in molten salt bath need to consume the energy of △ Es:
In formula: △ Es-strain energy; The coefficient of rigidity of G-glass; RNa+-sodium ion radius; RK+-potassium ion radius.
Above-mentioned energy is the needed energy in position that potassium ion is squeezed into sodium ion, also can be described as the needed energy of radius that the hole radius that expands sodium ion adapts to potassium ion, and this kind of energy is that the thermal power transfer that is heated rear acquisition by molten salt bath forms.Suppose that in glass, the electrostatic interaction between the position of sodium ion and the position of potassium ion equates, so in the glass that contains sodium ion and potassium ion, potassium ion activation energy after repeatedly spreading reduces gradually, last potassium ion is after entering to surface layer of glass certain depth, rest on the position of sodium ion, no longer transition, ion exchange process finishes.
