The coating composition can be applied to a glass substrate and cured to form a decorative cured polyurethane coating layer on the substrate that has improved caustic and UV resistance.

Highly mineralized natural materials often boast unusual combinations of stiffness, strength and toughness currently unmatched by today's engineering materials. Beneficially, according to the embodiments of the invention, these unusual combinations can be introduced into ceramics, glasses, and crystal materials, for example by the introduction of patterns of weaker interfaces with simple or intricate architectures, which channel propagating cracks into toughening configurations. Further, such deliberately-introduced weaker interfaces, such as exploiting three-dimensional arrays of laser-generated microcracks, can deflect and guide larger incoming cracks. Addition of interlocking interfaces and flexible materials provide further energy dissipation and toughening mechanism, by channeling cracks into interlocking configurations and ligament-like pullout mechanisms. Such biomimetic materials, based on carefully architectured interfaces, provide a new pathway to toughening hard and brittle materials.

A glass roll, as well as a device and a method for manufacturing the glass roll are provided. The glass roll includes a glass ribbon having a thickness, a length in an x-direction, and a width in a y-direction. The glass ribbon has at least one defect site at a position, as well as at least one error mark disposed on the glass ribbon, and is wound up into a glass roll.

The invention relates to a film comprising an interpenetrating network, its uses and processes for making the same. The film produced displays good durability, chemical resistance and transparency. The film is produced from an interpenetrating network formed as a colloidal suspension in an organic solvent and a particulate solid.

The present invention relates to a hollow glass, such as a bottle, glass, flask or pot, consisting of a glass substrate having, on at least one portion of its outer wall, a hydrophilic organic coating, for instance based on polyvinyl alcohol crosslinked with at least one acid selected from citric acid, polyacrylic acid and poly(acrylic acid-co-maleic acid). In order to manufacture this hollow glass, a solution containing the ingredients for forming the coating and at least one solvent is applied to the glass substrate by spraying, dip-coating or, when the hydrophilic organic coating is a partial coating, by spraying onto the outer wall of the glass substrate on which a mask has been applied, or by screenprinting; the glass substrate coated with said solution is dried; and the substrate is cured thermally or by UV radiation or by electron beam. It is possible to use this hollow glass for revealing a pattern thereon when said hollow glass is removed from a cold storage zone.

Described herein is a method of forming a reflective article comprising applying an anti-fog composition to a major surface of a reflective substrate, the anti-fog composition comprising an anti-fog agent and a liquid carrier and having a solid's content between about 15 wt. % to about 35 wt. % based on the total weight of the anti-fog composition, and subsequently heating the reflective substrate to a temperature of about 80 F. to about 325 F. for a drying period, and wherein the liquid carrier comprises water and a hydroxyl-containing component.
