- Example 1 The following items were prepared as the glass preform, the first holder, and the second holder.
- -Glass preform borosilicate glass plate with a length of 5 mm, a width of 30 mm, and a thickness of 30 ⁇ m (manufactured by Matsunami Glass Industry Co., Ltd., code number 0100, glass softening point 736 ° C, glass transition point 557 ° C, strain point 529 ° C).
- 1st holder Heat-resistant borosilicate glass plate (manufactured by Matsunami Glass Industry Co., Ltd., code number Tempax) having two through holes (diameter 6 mm) arranged in the width direction and having a length of 35 mm, a width of 30 mm, and a thickness of 700 ⁇ m.
- -Second holder heat-resistant borosilicate glass plate with a length of 20 mm, a width of 30 mm, and a thickness of 700 ⁇ m (manufactured by Matsunami Glass Industry Co., Ltd., code number Tempax)
- a weight (made of stainless steel) was adhered to the second holder using a heat-resistant adhesive, and the total mass of the second holder and the weight was 1 g.
- the first end and the second end of the glass preform in the length direction were adhered to the first holder and the second holder, respectively, to prepare an assembly as shown in FIG.
- the first holder was fixed to a carbon fixing base (height 190 mm) arranged in a vacuum gas replacement furnace (KDF-900GL manufactured by Denken Hydental Co., Ltd.).
- the glass preform was heated to the temperature shown in Table 1 for 2.5 hours. After that, the inside of the furnace was naturally cooled. A similar experiment was performed 5 times. Successful when the glass preform is stretched in the direction of gravity to obtain a glass sheet longer than the glass preform, and failure when the glass preform is not stretched or the glass preform is broken. , The stretching success rate was calculated. The stretching success rate is shown in Table 1.
- Comparative Example 1 The glass preform was stretched in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the heating temperature of the glass preform was as shown in Table 1, and the stretching success rate was obtained. The results are shown in Table 1.
- Reference examples 1 to 3 An attempt was made to stretch the glass preform in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the heating temperature of the glass preform was as shown in Table 1. In any of the reference examples, the length of the glass preform did not increase, and the stretching success rate was as shown in Table 1. In Reference Examples 1 to 3 in which the heating temperature was 670 ° C. or lower, the viscosity of the glass preform was higher than that in Example 1. Therefore, in order to stretch the glass preform, the total mass of the second holder and the weight was used. It is probable that it was necessary to make it larger than 1 g.
- Example 1 where the heating temperature was 690 ° C., which was 40 ° C. or more lower than the softening point of the glass preform, all five experiments were successful. In the comparative example in which the heating temperature was 700 ° C., four out of five experiments were successful, but the glass preform broke once.
- the glass preform has a viscosity of about 109.3 dPa at 690 ° C and a viscosity of 108.9 dPa at 700 ° C. Therefore, it was shown that the breakability of the glass preform can be reduced by setting the heating temperature of the glass preform to a temperature at which the glass preform has a viscosity of 109 dPa or more. At the heating temperatures of Examples 1 and Reference Examples 1 to 3, the glass preform has a viscosity in the range of 109 to 10 12 dPa .
- Examples 2-8 The length of the glass preform was set to the length shown in Table 1, the total mass of the second holder and the weight was set to the mass shown in Table 1, and the inside of the furnace was slowly cooled after heating the glass preform.
- the glass preform was stretched in the same manner as in Example 1 except for the above. As a result, a glass sheet was obtained. Specifically, the slow cooling was performed by cooling to 520 ° C. in 2.5 hours and then naturally cooling.
- the length, width and thickness of the obtained glass sheet were measured.
- the length and width of the glass sheet were measured using a ruler, and the thickness of the glass sheet was measured from the cross-sectional SEM image. The measurement results are shown in Table 1.
- FIG. 8 shows the relationship between the width and the thickness of the obtained glass sheet based on the measurement results. From FIG. 8, it is possible to efficiently manufacture an ultrathin glass sheet by setting the width of the glass sheet within the range of 1 to 10 mm, 1 to 5 mm, 2 to 4 mm, or more than 2 mm and 4 mm or less. Shown. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, when the width of the glass sheet exceeds 2 mm, the smaller the width of the glass sheet, the thinner the glass sheet. On the other hand, when the width of the glass sheet was 2 mm or less, the smaller the width of the glass sheet, the thicker the glass sheet. The inventors consider this reason as follows.
- the width and thickness values become smaller while the width to thickness ratio (aspect ratio) is maintained due to the elasticity of the glass.
- the width becomes a predetermined value (here, about 2 mm) or less, the action of the surface tension to reduce the surface area of the glass exceeds the action of the elastic force to maintain the ratio of the width to the thickness. As a result, the thickness of the manufactured glass sheet increases.
- the width of the glass sheet to be manufactured is within a predetermined range (here, within a range of 1 to 10 mm, 1 to 5 mm, 2 to 4 mm, or more than 2 mm and 4 mm or less)
- the aspect ratio of the glass preform It was suggested that the higher the ratio, the thinner the glass sheet. That is, among the glass preforms having the same thickness but different widths, the larger the width of the glass preforms, the thinner the glass sheet can be manufactured. In other words, it was suggested that the width of the glass preform and the thickness of the glass sheet are inversely proportional. This was confirmed through Examples 9 to 12 below.
- the preform was stretched.
- the widths of the first holder and the second holder were the same as the width of the glass preform.
- the length, width and thickness of the obtained glass sheet were measured. The measurement results are shown in Table 1.
- FIG. 9 shows the relationship between the width of the glass preform used in Examples 9 to 12 and the thickness of the obtained glass sheet.
- the width of the glass preform and the thickness of the glass sheet were approximately inversely proportional.
- the broken line in FIG. 9 shows an inverse proportional curve extrapolated from the results of Examples 9 to 12.

- a glass sheet having a thickness of about 100 nm can be formed by stretching a glass preform having a width of about 800 mm.
- Example 13 A glass preform was stretched in the same manner as in Example 9 to obtain a glass sheet.
- the thickness and average surface roughness of the glass sheet were measured at the center of the obtained glass sheet and at a position 3 mm from both ends in the length direction (hereinafter referred to as "near both ends").
