The invention relates to a glass substrate for chemical strengthening where a surface is coated by magnetron sputtering with a temporary thin film that reduces the extent of ion exchange upon chemical strengthening and where the temporary thin film can be removed after the chemical strengthening by treatment with an etchant solution. Other embodiments relate to a method for making a chemically strengthened glass substrate with controlled curvature comprising: providing a substrate with opposed surfaces that are durable to a given etchant solution, forming a temporary thin film upon at least part of a surface of the glass substrate, chemically strengthening the glass substrate bearing the temporary thin film, and removing the temporary thin film after said chemical strengthening with said etchant solution. The thickness of the temporary thin film is chosen such that a controlled curvature is obtained upon chemical strengthening.

The disclosure involves a coated glazing, a method of manufacturing the glazing and the use of a layer based on silica and/or an organo silica deposited on a glazing to achieve a coefficient of kinetic friction between an exterior surface of the layer based on silica and/or an organo silica and a contact surface wiping device that does not substantially change between a dry state and a wet state of the surfaces. Also disclosed is a glazing suitable for combination with a wiping device, the combination of said glazing with a wiping device and the use of the glazing to facilitate a reciprocating motion of a part of a wiping device and/or to facilitate a tilting and/or flipping of a part of a wiping device.

The present disclosure relates to a decorative panel made of flat glass for electronic household appliances, in particular, for large stationary household appliances. The decorative panel comprises a base body made of thermally tempered flat glass with an operational front and an operational back, and has at least one digital print on the operational back.

The present disclosure relates to a method for manufacturing decorative panels made of flat glass for electronic household appliances, in particular household appliances that are fixed in position. The method comprises, in the specified order, at least the steps of providing a flat glass, producing a blank decorative panel by forming the provided flat glass with at least one of the steps of forming the outer contour of the decorative panel, edge treatment, or making at least one indentation on the operational front, the thermal tempering of the produced blank decorative panel, and applying at least one decorative print on the operational back of the thermally tempered blank decorative panel by means of a digital printing method.

The present invention relates to a fire-resistant pane, including at least one float glass pane with a tin bath side and at least one protective layer that is arranged on the tin bath side in a planar manner, wherein the float glass pane and the protective layer are thermally tempered or partially tempered together. At least one alkaline fire-resistant layer is arranged on the protective layer in a planar manner. The protective layer contains metal oxide, metal nitride, and/or mixtures or layered compounds thereof. At least one edge sealing is arranged directly on the protective layer.

The glass plate according to the present invention has a buffer layer containing a plurality of sulfate crystals on a bottom surface which is brought into contact with a molten metal during formation in accordance with a float method, and the plurality of sulfate crystals have a median value of equivalent circle diameters of 350 nm or smaller as observed from a thickness direction.

Low-cost and robust platforms are key for the development of next-generation 3D micro- and nanodevices. To fabricate such platforms, nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) is a highly appealing material due to its biocompatibility, robustness, and mechanical, electrical, electrochemical, and optical properties, while glass substrates with through vias are ideal interposers for 3D integration due to the excellent properties of glass. A low-cost processfree of photolithography and transfer printingfor fabricating arrays of TGVs that are sealed with suspended portions of an ultra-thin NCD film on one side is presented. These highly transparent structures may serve as a platform for the development of microwells for single-cell culture and analysis, 3D integrated devices such as microelectrodes, and quantum technologies. It is also possible to replace the NCD with silicon nitride or silicon carbide, allowing for the development of complex heterogeneous structures on a small scale.
