Definitions
- TITLE A PRINTABLE FLEXIBLE SHEET FIELD OF THE INVENTION relates to a printable flexible sheet and particularly to a sheet containing components to provide it with sufficient paper-like qualities such as flexibility and prlntablllty but which sheet can be subsequently heated to fuse it to a substrate, such as glass or ceramic.
- Printing or otherwise applying decorative and/or functional designs to a glass or ceramic substrate finds innumerable practical applications.
- the applications include preparation of coloured sheet glass, artificial stained glass, tableware, framed glass pictures and tinted glass.
- the print to be applied to the glass can be purely decorative but can also have functional properties such as reflectivity and opacity.
- a printed plastic film can be pre-printed using known printing techniques and can be stuck onto the glass or other substrate.
- a disadvantage with plastic films is that they cannot be fired to fuse the ink onto the glass or other substrate. Instead, the ink remains within the film.
- the plastic film is relatively soft, it is susceptible to scratching or dulling.
- Application of the film requires care to avoid formation of air bubbles.
- Many plastic films are not resistant to UV degradation, are not heat resistant, and do not have optical properties making them suitable for window glass. Thus, plastic films attached to glass panes only find limited uses.
- the present invention is directed to a flexible sheet which can be printed on with high definition, which can have desirable paper qualities of flexibility, ability to be stored on a roll, and which when applied to a substrate, can be fired to fuse the print to the substrate.
- the invention resides in a printable flexible sheet comprising heat fusible particles and a carrier phase for said particles.
- paper type qualities of flexibility, ability to be handled and stored on a roll, and prlntablllty, together with glass qualities of being fusible to a substrate, such as a glass plane.
- the sheet includes absorption or adsorption qualities to allow the ink to be absorbed or adsorbed into or onto the sheet to allow the printed sheet to be handled without appreciable smudging. In this manner the ink can penetrate into the sheet thus allowing the ink components to be more securely localised on or in the sheet.
- the sheet can be stored for future use, and can be cut and sized to shape.
- the sheet can be placed onto a substrate, such as a glass or ceramic object, and subjected to heat treatment.
- the heat treatment can fuse the glass particles and some of the ink components to the substrate.
- the carrier phase which provides flexibility and prlntablllty can substantially volatlse or does not leave an appreciable undesirable residue during the heating step.
- the fusible particles are glass particles and these may be in the form of powdered glass.
- Glass frit may be a suitable source of glass particles.
- the glass particles may comprise or include chopped glass fibres. The particle size and shape can vary to suit the process of forming the glass sheet, and the use of the glass sheet.
- the fusible particles may comprise glass precursor compounds which, upon heating, will fuse into a glass. These precursor compounds (or glass batch materials) may include calcium carbonates, aluminium oxides and sulphates, and silicon oxides.
- the carrier phase preferably comprises one or more components. Typically, components are those used in paper manufacture. These components may include starch, cellulose and silica. A binder may be present to provide flexibility and tear resistance to the sheet. Additional components may be used to provide improved prlntablllty, flexibility, tear resistance, anti-yellowing properties, and the like, to the sheet.
- the amount of the one or more components is preferably kept to a minimum as it is desirable that the or each component is subsequently removed during heating of the sheet.
- a larger amount of the components may be present.
- the sheet can be formed by addition of glass particles to a pulp, or by adding the glass particles to an already prepared carrier paper.
- the glass particles may be incorporated into a binder such as polyvinylacetate, a cellulose colloid and the like.
- the sheet may be printed in a conventional manner, such as by screen printing, or other applications. A good print resolution can be observed relative to printing directly onto glass.
- the inks may of course also be applied to the sheet by hand.
- the ink components are those which can be subjected to heat treatment and these may include known ceramic dyes and pigments such as metal oxides of nickle, cobalt and copper oxides or mixtures thereof. These can be dispersed in a binder or a liquid medium in a known manner, and it is preferred that the binder or liquid medium is one which volatises upon heating. Alternatively, the ink may form one of the one or more components. A sheet prepared in this manner will impart a uniform colour over the whole surface to which it has been applied.
- Such a sheet may be cut to a shape before application.
- the sheet material can be formed by following or adapting general paper-making techniques.
- glass particles can be added to a paper pulp with the pulp being subsequently applied to a porous screen and subjected to the usual drying and rolling steps to form the flexible glass sheet.
- glass particles may be added to a gel which can then be converted to a sheet material by appropriate techniques.
- the formed sheet can then be printed, applied to a substrate and subjected to heat treatment to fuse the glass particles and the inks to the substrate.
- the "paper” components such as starch and the like, volatlse and do not appreciably remain in the fused product.
- the sheet material can be applied to a substrate and subsequently fired, it is also possible to subject the sheet material, and typically a printed sheet material to a heat treatment step in isolation to form a thin but rigid glass product.
- the sheet material can be configured prior to firing and will set in the desired configuration. To impart greater strength to the formed rigid glass product, it is envisaged that the amount of glass particles in the sheet material will be increased if the sheet material is to be used in this manner. Alternatively, a number of layers may be used. They may be fired together or sequentially.
- a lead borosilicate glass matrix is prepared conventionally and ground into a frit.
- the frit is mixed into a cellulose colloid complex and/or a sol gel.
- the resultant mixture is processed to form sheet material using a Fourdrinier machine.
- the machine comprises a means for flowing the cellulose and/or sol gel optionally including fillers onto a moving porous web.
- Polymerisation and dehydration of the pulp components containing the glass frit is completed using successive gravity drainage, vacuum drainage, felt roll contact and steam heating calendering.
- Suitable cellulose fibrils are selected so that they hold glass forming fillers in a uniform matrix during heat treatment processing and either leave no residue or such residue is incorporated in the fused product.
- Heat treatment temperatures are in the range 480 ⁇ C - 1200 ⁇ C, with atmosphere control.
- a preferred process incorporates many of the functions and equipment used to thermally toughen glass sheets.
- a preferred substrate material to which the "paper” is applied is architectural flat glass with co ⁇ efficient of thermal expansion 7.9 - 8.0 x 10 "6 /cm/°C.
- a preferred "glass paper” material comprises a material having thermal expansion characteristics within 4.0 x 10 " /cm/°C of the substrate material.
- Yet a further preferred embodiment of said prepared “glass paper” comprises vitreous and/or glass/ceramic material having thermal expansion characteristics within 0.4 x 10 "6 /cm/ ⁇ C of the substrate material.
- An alternative preferred substrate material is a soda/lime glass such as is available for architectural purposes and is generally produced using the "float glass” process.
- the glass particles can cross link or polymerise with the cellulose pulp or sol gel components to form an at least partially stable complex which, in part, assists in keeping the glass particles from settling out of the pulp or gel.
