Described herein are glass articles and methods of making glass articles, comprising a thin sheet and a carrier, wherein the thin sheet and carrier or bonded together using a coating layer, which is preferably an organosiloxane polymer coating layer, and associated deposition methods and inert gas treatments that may be applied on the thin sheet, the carrier, or both, to control van der Waals, hydrogen and covalent bonding between the thin sheet and the carrier. The coating layer bonds the thin sheet and carrier together to prevent a permanent bond at high temperature processing while at the same time maintaining a sufficient bond to prevent delamination during high temperature processing.

Provided is a composition for forming a hard coating layer, which includes an epoxy siloxane resin, a crosslinking agent including a compound having an alicyclic epoxy group, a thermal initiator including a compound represented by Chemical Formula 2, and a photoinitiator to decrease curls and increase hardness of the hard coating film.

A coating composition comprising an acid functional acrylic resin and a silane modified compound is disclosed. Substrates coated at least in part with such coatings are also disclosed.

A water barrier system to protect a roof surface from environmental conditions is disclosed. In one embodiment, the water barrier system includes an underlayment layer and a liquid applied coating. In use, the underlayment is coupled to the roof surface. Thereafter, the liquid coating is applied to the underlayment to form a barrier layer. The underlayment may be manufactured from a porous material so that the liquid applied coating is at least partially absorbed by the porous underlayment. In this manner, direct application of the liquid coating to the roof surface is eliminated. In one embodiment, the underlayment may be provided with a load bearing component/layer and a coating absorbing component/layer. For flat roof applications, the load bearing component/layer may be provided with increased rigidity for dimensional and installation stability. Meanwhile, for roof penetration applications, the load bearing component/layer may be provided with increased elasticity to enable the underlayment to wrap about the penetration.
