- Embodiments of the invention relate to laminated articles and layered articles and more particularly to low alkali glass laminated articles and layered articles useful for, for example, electrochromic devices.
- The management of natural light is a consideration in architectural design, for example, how to maximize the view of the outside while ensuring that the interior of the building is comfortable for the occupants. For example, too much light can increase the heat and/or brightness inside the building. Windows which can be switched from transparent to varying degrees of tinted and back to transparent, for example, electrochromic windows, are being developed to minimize one or more disadvantages associated with increased glass usage, for example, heat gain and glare.
- Windows for use, for example, in automobiles and in architecture must meet several safety codes and are subject to mechanical strength tests, for example, debris impact tests and post-breakage wind cycling. Windows can benefit from increased mechanical strength, for example, in order to withstand environmental conditions.
- Functional materials for electrochromic, photochromic, thermochromic, and low-e type applications are typically applied to a thick soda lime glass substrate, which is laminated to a second thick soda lime glass substrate in order to meet the above mentioned safety codes. The substrates are often coated with a barrier layer in order to minimize alkali, for example, sodium diffusion from the substrate into the functional materials. However, any breaks in the barrier layer, for example, scratches can allow sodium or alkalis to enter the functional material, compromising the utility of the functional material. Defects in the soda lime glass, for example, bubbles, scratches, inclusions can also compromise the utility of the functional material.

Laminated glass can be made with annealed, heat strengthened, and/or fully tempered for additional benefits, such as resistance to increased wind loading, increased impact resistance or resistance to thermal stress.

- In this embodiment, the glass layer can have a thickness of 4.0 mm or less, for example, 3.5 mm or less, for example, 3.2 mm or less, for example, 3.0 mm or less, for example, 2.5 mm or less, for example, 2.0 mm or less, for example, 1.9 mm or less, for example, 1.8 mm or less, for example, 1.5 mm or less, for example, 1.1 mm or less, for example, 0.5 mm to 2.0 mm, for example, 0.5 mm to 1.1 mm, for example, 0.7 mm to 1.1 mm. Although these are exemplary thicknesses, the glass layer can have a thickness of any numerical value including decimal places in the range of from 0.1 mm up to and including 4.0 mm.
- The glass layer can have a relatively low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), for example, 50×10−7/° C. or less, for example, 35×10−7/° C. or less. According to one embodiment, the glass layer has a CTE of 20×10−7/° C. to 50×10−7/° C., for example, 20×10−7/° C. to 35×10−7/° C.
- The glass layer, in some embodiments, is transparent.
- The protective layer can provide chemical or mechanical durability. The protective layer can be a sputtered glass layer or a sheet of glass, for example, a transparent glass layer or sheet. The protective layer, according to some embodiments, has a thickness of 4.0 mm or less, for example, 3.5 mm or less, for example, 3.2 mm or less, for example, 3.0 mm or less, for example, 2.5 mm or less, for example, 2.0 m or less, for example, 1.9 mm or less, for example, 1.8 mm or less, for example, 1.5 mm or less, for example, 1.1 mm or less, for example, 0.5 mm to 2.0 mm, for example, 0.5 mm to 1.1 mm, for example, 0.7 mm to 1.1 mm. Although these are exemplary thicknesses, the protective layer can have a thickness of any numerical value including decimal places in the range of from 0.1 mm up to and including 4.0 mm.
- The protective layer can have a relatively low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), for example, 50×10−7/° C. or less, for example, 35×10−7/° C. or less. According to one embodiment, the protective layer has a CTE of 20×10−7/° C. to 50×10−7/° C., for example, 20×10−7/° C. to 35×10−7/° C.
- The protective layer, in some embodiments, is transparent.
- In some embodiments, the electrochromic material can comprise multiple layers such as an electrode layer or layers, a counter electrode layer or layers, an ion conducting layer or layers. The layers, in some embodiments, can comprise solid inorganic materials.
- Laminating thin, low CTE, low alkali glass coated with a functional material to thick soda lime glass enables process improvements and can minimize costs. Low CTE, low alkali glass is durable, has increased clarity as compared to soda lime glass, and can be made with minimal defects, for example, in display glass applications for televisions.
- In architectural windows, commercially available windows are typically 6 mm thick. According to the present invention, 0.7 mm to 1.1 mm low CTE, low alkali glass can be laminated to a less than 6 mm soda lime glass using a polyvinyl butyral laminate by one of a number of laminating processes. The soda lime glass could be annealed, heat strengthened (HS) and/or fully tempered (FT) depending on the strength required to meet relevant transportation or building codes.
- In this example, the soda lime glass provides a strength benefit in that it can be annealed, heat strengthened (typically 2× strength of annealed glass) and/or fully tempered (typically 4× strength of annealed glass) to provide additional mechanical strength that may be required by transportation or building codes. Low CTE low alkali glass is typically available only in annealed form, thus the substrate, in this example, the soda lime glass provides the increased strength of the laminated article.
- The glass layer, according to the invention, provides one or more of the following advantages: low alkali glass reduces the need for a barrier layer on soda lime glass in order to minimize sodium/alkali diffusion; low alkali glass enhances the performance of organic or inorganic coating, for example, electrochromic, thermochromic, photochromic, low-e; low alkali glass can be processed at high temperatures; low alkali glass can be cut after coating. Thin low alkali glass is light weight and minimizes the cost associated with a low CTE, low alkali product.
- Lamination can provide one or more of the following advantages safety, security, sound reduction, UV control, weather/natural disaster benefit, durability, design versatility, installation ease, and low visual distortion. Lamination can be used to laminate a thin, low alkali glass to various substrates. This can be useful in tailoring other properties, for instance, color or self-cleaning properties.
- The laminated articles and layered articles of the invention can be used, for example, for electrochromic windows for general transportation (cars, trains, light rail, airplanes, buses), buildings (commercial and residential), and for PV cells both for buildings (commercial and residential), and on-off grid.
- The laminated articles and layered articles can be incorporated as the outer, center or inner pane of a single pane, double pane, or triple pane window, for example.
- It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Thus, it is intended that the present invention cover the modifications and variations of this invention provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
