BACKGROUND

[0002] The disclosure relates to vehicle interior systems including glass and methods for forming the same, and more particularly to a cold-formed or cold-bent curved glass article with a crack resistant layer and methods for forming the same.

[0003] Vehicle interiors include curved surfaces and can incorporate displays and/or touch panels in such curved surfaces. The materials used to form such curved surfaces are typically limited to polymers, which do not exhibit the durability and optical performance of glass. As such, Applicant has determined that curved glass substrates are desirable, especially when used as covers for displays and/or touch panels. Existing methods of forming such curved glass substrates, such as thermal forming, have drawbacks including high cost, optical distortion, and surface marking. Applicant has identified a need for vehicle interior systems that can incorporate a curved glass substrate in a cost-effective manner and without problems typically associated with glass thermal forming processes, and while also having the mechanical performance to pass industry-standard safety tests and regulations.

SUMMARY

[0004] One embodiment of the disclosure relates to a vehicle interior system including a frame comprising a curved support surface and a glass substrate coupled to the curved support surface of the frame. The glass substrate including a first major surface, a second major surface, a minor surface connecting the first major surface and the second major surface and a thickness in a range from 0.05 mm to 2 mm. The first major surface of the glass substrate includes a curved section and the second major surface of the curved glass substrate includes a curved section. The curved section of the first major surface includes a first radius of curvature greater than 30 mm and less than 1.5 m. The vehicle system includes a layer of a high modulus adhesive located on the second major surface. The high modulus adhesive has a modulus of elasticity of at least 500 MPa. An outer region of the high modulus adhesive layer bonds the glass substrate to the curved support surface of the frame.

[0005] Another embodiment of the disclosure relates to a shatter resistant, cold-formed glass article including a first major surface, a second major surface and a thickness measured between the first major surface and the second major surface of 0.05 mm to 2 mm. The glass article includes a layer of high modulus adhesive located on the second major surface, wherein the high modulus adhesive has a modulus of elasticity of at least 500 MPa. The glass article includes a surface treatment located on the first major surface. The first major surface includes a curved section and the second major surface includes a curved section.

The curved section of the first major surface includes a first radius of curvature greater than 30 mm and less than 1.5 m.

[0006] Another embodiment of the disclosure relates to a method of forming a vehicle interior system. The method includes applying a high modulus adhesive to a glass substrate. The glass substrate has a first major surface and a second major surface opposite the first major surface. The second major surface of the glass substrate faces a curved support surface of a frame, and the high modulus adhesive is applied to the second major surface. The high modulus adhesive has a modulus of elasticity of at least 500 MPa. The method includes applying a force to the glass substrate causing the glass substrate to bend into conformity with a curved shape of the curved support surface of the frame such that a curved glass substrate is formed. The first major surface of the curved glass substrate includes a curved section and the second major surface of the curved glass substrate includes a curved section. During application of the force, a maximum temperature of the glass substrate is less than a glass transition temperature of the glass substrate. The method includes curing the high modulus adhesive while applying the force such that the glass substrate is bonded to the frame and is maintained in the curved shape.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] Reference will now be made in detail to various embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In general, a vehicle interior system may include a variety of different curved surfaces that are designed to be transparent, such as curved display surfaces, and the present disclosure provides articles and methods for forming these curved surfaces from a glass material. Forming curved vehicle surfaces from a glass material may provide a number of advantages compared to the typical curved plastic panels that are conventionally found in vehicle interiors. For example, glass is typically considered to provide enhanced functionality and user experience for many curved cover material applications, such as display applications and touch screen applications, compared to plastic cover materials.

[0020] While glass provides these benefits, glass surfaces in vehicle interiors should also meet performance criteria for both passenger safety and ease of use. For example, certain regulations (e.g., ECE R 21 & FMVSS201) require vehicle interiors to pass the Headform Impact Test (HIT). The HIT involves subjecting a vehicle interior component, such as a display, to an impact from a mass under certain specific conditions. The mass used is an anthropomorphic headform. The HIT is intended to simulate the impact of the head of a driver or passenger against the vehicle interior component. The criteria for passing the test includes the force of the deceleration of the headform not exceeding 80 g (g-force) for longer than a 3 ms period, and the peak deceleration of the headform being less than 120 g. As used in the context of the HIT,“deceleration” refers to the deceleration of the headform as it is stopped by the vehicle interior component. Besides these regulatory requirements, there are additional concerns when using glass under these conditions. For example, it may be desirable for the glass to remain intact and not fracture when subjected to the impact from the HIT. In some cases, it may be acceptable for the glass to fracture, but the fractured glass should behave in a way to reduce the chance of causing lacerations on a real human head. In the HIT, laceration potential can be simulated by wrapping the headform in a substitute material representing human skin, such as a fabric, leather, or other material. In this way, laceration potential can be estimated based on the tears or holes formed in the substitute material. Thus, in the case where the glass fractures, it may be desirable to decrease the chance of laceration by controlling how the glass fractures.

[0021] Accordingly, as will be discussed in more detail below, Applicant has developed a glass article that includes a relatively thin, high modulus adhesive coating (e.g., a high modulus polymer) on one of the major surfaces of the glass substrate. In contrast to the low modulus polymer materials commonly used in various glass applications (e.g., polymer interlayers, such as PVB interlayers, in glass laminate applications), Applicant has found that using a high modulus adhesive material (e.g., one with a modulus of elasticity greater than 500 MPa) limits or prevents crack formation and/or propagation with the glass substrate. The high modulus layer also provides for improved glass retention, which improves laceration characteristics.

[0022] Further, Applicant has found that even when the glass substrate is formed from strengthened glass, the crack-reducing high modulus adhesive material is advantageous because bending of the glass introduces stresses that reduce compressive surface stress (CS) on the surface with the convex curve. Thus, the crack-reducing high modulus adhesive material discussed herein acts to limit crack formation/propagation even in the presence of these bending stresses. In addition to improved crack resistance, the high modulus layer protects covered glass surfaces from manufacturing/handling defects. Any defects/cracks on the glass surface covered with the high modulus adhesive layer will be effectively captured, thereby improving the HIT performance of the glass article.

[0023] In particular, the use of the high modulus adhesive layer as discussed herein enables a wider design window for cold bent glass in automotive interiors. Glass, including cold bent glass, is prone to frangibility from a local sharp impact. The high modulus adhesive layer discussed herein minimizes the crack propagation in the glass article, thereby reducing cracking. The high modulus adhesive layer also helps to retain cracked pieces of glass, decreasing laceration risk. Further, high modulus adhesive materials have high tensile and shear strength, and can withstand tensile and shear forces that the cold bent glass may be exposed to through the lifetime in the vehicle.

[0024] Further in typical processes, curved glass articles are formed using hot forming processes. As discussed herein a variety of curved glass articles and processes for making the same are provided that avoid the deficiencies of the typical glass hot-forming process. For example, hot-forming processes are energy intensive and increase the cost of forming a curved glass component, relative to the cold-bending process discussed herein. In addition, hot-forming processes typically make application of glass surface treatments, such as anti- reflective coatings, significantly more difficult. For example, many coating materials cannot be applied to a flat piece of glass material prior to the hot-forming process because the coating material typically will not survive the high temperatures of the hot-forming process. Further, application of a coating material to surfaces of a curved glass substrate after hot- bending is substantially more difficult than application to a flat glass substrate. In addition, Applicant believes that by avoiding the additional high temperature heating steps needed for thermal forming, the glass articles produced via the cold-forming processes and systems discussed herein have improved optical properties and/or improved surface properties than similarly shaped glass articles made via thermal-shaping processes.

[0025] Thus, for at least these reasons, Applicant believes that the glass article and processes for making the glass articles discussed herein provide for various combinations of benefits and properties not previously achievable with either non-glass articles for vehicle systems or with previously developed glass articles.

[0026] FIG. 1 shows an exemplary vehicle interior 10 that includes three different embodiments of a vehicle interior system 100, 200, 300. Vehicle interior system 100 includes a frame, shown as center console base 110, with a curved surface 120 including a curved display 130. Vehicle interior system 200 includes a frame, shown as dashboard base 210, with a curved surface 220 including a curved display 230. The dashboard base 210 typically includes an instrument panel 215 which may also include a curved display. Vehicle interior system 300 includes a frame, shown as steering wheel base 310, with a curved surface 320 and a curved display 330. In one or more embodiments, the vehicle interior system may include a frame that is an arm rest, a pillar, a seat back, a floor board, a headrest, a door panel, or any portion of the interior of a vehicle that includes a curved surface.

[0027] The embodiments of the curved glass article described herein can be used

interchangeably in each of vehicle interior systems 100, 200 and 300. Further, the curved glass articles discussed herein may be used as curved cover glasses for any of the curved display embodiments discussed herein, including for use in vehicle interior systems 100, 200 and/or 300. Further, in various embodiments, various non-display components of vehicle interior systems 100, 200 and 300 may be formed from the glass articles discussed herein. In some such embodiments, the glass articles discussed herein may be used as the non-display cover surface for the dashboard, center console, door panel, etc. In such embodiments, glass material may be selected based on its weight, aesthetic appearance, etc. and may be provided with a coating (e.g., an ink or pigment coating) with a pattern (e.g., a brushed metal appearance, a wood grain appearance, a leather appearance, a colored appearance, etc.) to visually match the glass components with adjacent non-glass components. In specific embodiments, such ink or pigment coating may have a transparency level that provides for deadfront functionality.

[0028] As shown in FIGS. 2-4, formation of a curved glass article, such as the cover glass for curved display 130, is shown according to an exemplary embodiment. It should be understood that while FIGS. 2-4 are described in terms of forming curved display 130, the curved glass article of FIGS. 2-4 may be used from any suitable curved glass application, including any curved glass component of the vehicle interior systems of FIG. 1.

[0029] Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, a frame, shown as center console base 110, includes a curved support surface, shown as curved surface 120. Display 130 includes a glass article, shown as a cover panel 132. Cover panel 132 includes a glass substrate 134. Glass substrate 134 includes a first major surface 136 and a second major surface 138 opposite first major surface 136. A minor surface 140 connects the first major surface 136 and the second major surface 138, and in specific embodiments, minor surface 140 defines the outer perimeter of glass substrate 134. A high modulus adhesive layer 142 is located on second major surface 138, and as will be discussed in more detail below, high modulus adhesive layer 142 provides for crack and/or shatter resistances, glass shard retention and also bonds the glass substrate to curved support surface 120 of center console base 110.

[0030] In various embodiments, cover panel 132 is cold formed or cold bent to the desired curved shape, which in this case is determined by the curved shape of support surface 120.

As shown in FIG. 3, following cold bending, cover panel 132 has a curved shape such that first major surface 136 and second major surface 138 each include at least one curved section having a radius of curvature. In the specific embodiments shown, curved surface 120 is convex curved surface. In such embodiments, cover panel 132 is bent such that first major surface 136 defines a convex shape defining a first radius of curvature Rl. In the specific embodiment shown, second major surface 138 defines a concave shape that generally conforms to the convex curved shape of support surface 120 and includes a radius of curvature that generally matches Rl .

[0031] In general, Rl is selected based on the shape of the associated vehicle interior frame, and in general Rl is between 30 mm and 1.5 m. In addition, glass substrate 134 has a thickness Tl (e.g., an average thickness measured between surfaces 136 and 138) shown in FIG. 2 that is in a range from 0.05 mm to 2 mm. In specific embodiments, Tl is less than or equal to 1.5 mm and in more specific embodiments, Tl is 0.3 mm to 0.7 mm. Applicant has found that such thin glass substrates can be cold formed to a variety of curved shapes (including the relatively high curvature radii of curvature discussed herein) utilizing cold forming without breakage while at the same time providing for a high quality cover layer for a variety of vehicle interior applications. In addition, such a thin glass substrate 134 may deform more readily, which could potentially compensate for shape mismatches and gaps that may exist relative to support surface 120 and/or center console base 110. [0032] As noted above, high modulus adhesive layer 142 is formed from a high modulus material that is applied, coated and/or bonded to second major surface 138. In various embodiments, a high modulus adhesive layer is formed from a polymer adhesive material having a modulus of elasticity of at least 500 MPa. In some such embodiments, a high modulus adhesive layer is formed from a polymer adhesive material having a modulus of elasticity of less than 5 GPa. In even more specific embodiments, a high modulus adhesive layer is formed from a polymer adhesive material having a modulus of elasticity of 750 MPa to 3 GPa. Applicant has found that, in contrast to the low modulus polymer materials typically used for glass laminate interlayers (e.g., PVB interlayers typically have a modulus of elasticity of 10 MPa or less), the high modulus material surprisingly limits crack formation and crack propagation through glass article, such as cover panel 132.

[0033] Adhesive layer 142 may be formed from a variety of adhesive materials having the high modulus as discussed herein. In various embodiments, adhesive layer 142 is formed from a high modulus epoxy material or a high modulus acrylic, and in a specific embodiment, adhesive layer 142 is formed from a high modulus toughened epoxy material or toughened acrylic material. In specific embodiments, adhesive layer 142 is formed from Masterbond EP21TDCHT-LO Epoxy. In other specific embodiments, adhesive layer 142 is formed from LORD 850 and 852 Toughened Structural Acrylic adhesives with LORD Accelerator 25GB.

[0034] In various embodiments, the material of high modulus adhesive layer 142 is made non-brittle by the addition of a toughening agent. In specific embodiments, in which adhesive layer is formed from an epoxy materials the toughening agent is one or more liquid functional rubbers (e.g., carboxy-terminated polybutadiene (CTPB)), copolymers of amino- terminated butadiene and acrylonitrile (ATBN), carboxy-terminated butadiene and acrylonitrile (CTBN), etc. For acrylic adhesives, PCX Publication WO 97/39074, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, discloses the use of at least one polymeric material which can act as a toughening agent such as poly chi oroprene, polymer-in-monomer syrup, chlorosuiphonated polyethylene rubber, copolymers of butadiene and at least one monomer copolymerizable therewith, for example, styrene, acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile (e.g. poly (butadiene-(meth)aerylomtri i e or poiy(butadiene~(meth)acrylonitri le-styrene) and mixtures thereof: as well as modified elastomeric polymeric materials, such as butadiene homopolymers and copolymers as noted above modified by copolymerization therewith of trace amounts of up to about 5 percent by weight of the elastomeric material of at least one functional monomer (such as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, maleic anhydride, fumaric acid. styrene, and methyl methacrylate to give, for example, methacry 1 ate-terminated polybutadiene homopolymers and/or copolymers).

[0035] Applicant has also found that this crack limiting functionality can be provided to a glass article, such as cover panel 132, with an adhesive layer 142 having a surprisingly low thickness. As shown in FIG 2, adhesive layer 142 has a thickness T2 shown in FIG. 2. In various embodiments, T2 may refer to an average thickness or a maximum thickness of adhesive layer 142.

[0036] In various embodiments, T2 is less than 1 mm. In even more specific embodiments, T2 is 25 pm to 500 pm. In some embodiments, T2 is in a range from about 200 pm to about 500 pm, from about 225 pm to about 500 pm, from about 250 pm to about 500 pm, from about 275 pm to about 500 pm, from about 300 pm to about 500 pm, from about 325 pm to about 500 pm, from about 350 pm to about 500 pm, from about 375 pm to about 500 pm, from about 400 pm to about 500 pm, from about 200 pm to about 475 pm, from about 200 pm to about 450 pm, from about 200 pm to about 425 pm, from about 200 pm to about 400 pm, from about 200 pm to about 375 pm, from about 200 pm to about 350 pm, from about 200 pm to about 325 pm, from about 200 pm to about 300 pm, or from about 225 pm to about 275 pm. In other embodiments, T2 falls within any one of the exact numerical ranges set forth in this paragraph.

[0037] In various embodiments, adhesive layer 142 is a continuous and contiguous layer covering all or substantially all (e.g., at least 95%) of surface 138 of glass substrate 134. In other embodiments, adhesive layer 142 may be applied in a discontinuous or patterned arrangement that provides sufficient coverage to provide the crack resistance and other functions discussed herein. In some embodiments, adhesive layer 142 is applied in a webbed pattern, a cross-hatched pattern, a dot pattern, etc. in which regions of adhesive layer 142 are adjacent to portions of surface 138 that are not covered with adhesive layer 142.

[0038] In various embodiments, first major surface 136 and/or the second major surface 138 of glass substrate includes a surface treatment 146. Surface treatment 146 may cover at least a portion of the first major surface 136 and/or second major surface 138. Exemplary surface treatments include anti-glare surfaces/coatings, anti -reflective surfaces/coatings, and a pigment design. In one or more embodiments, at least a portion of the first major surface 136 and/or the second major surface 138 may include any one, any two or all three of an anti glare surface, an anti -reflective surface, and a pigment design. For example, first major surface 136 may include an anti-glare surface and second major surface 138 may include an anti -reflective surface. In another example, first major surface 136 includes an anti -reflective surface and second major surface 138 includes an anti-glare surface. In yet another example, first major surface 136 comprises either one of or both the anti-glare surface and the anti- reflective surface, and second major surface 138 includes the pigment design.

[0039] The pigment design may include any aesthetic design formed from a pigment (e.g., ink, paint and the like) and can include a wood-grain design, a brushed metal design, a graphic design, a portrait, or a logo. The pigment design may be printed onto the glass substrate. In one or more embodiments, the anti-glare surface includes an etched surface. In one or more embodiments, the anti -reflective surface includes a multi-layer coating.

[0040] Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, a method of cold forming a glass article, such as cover panel 132, is shown. As used herein, the terms "cold-bent," "cold bending," "cold-formed" or "cold forming" refers to curving the glass substrate at a cold-form temperature which is less than the glass transition temperature of the glass material of glass substrate 134. As shown in FIG. 2, high modulus material is applied to second major surface 138 of glass substrate 134 to form high modulus adhesive layer 142. A force, shown as force 144 is applied to glass substrate 134 causing glass substrate 134 to bend into substantial conformity with the curved support surface 120 (e.g., Rl is within 10% of the radius of curvature of support surface 120). In specific embodiments, force 144 is applied following formation of adhesive layer 142.

[0041] Application of force 144 causes glass substrate 134 to adopt a curved shape, such as the shape shown in FIG. 3 and/or described in various embodiments herein. During application of force 144, a maximum temperature of glass substrate 134 is less than a glass transition temperature of the glass material of glass substrate 134. Force 144 may be applied by any suitable mechanism, such as a mechanical press, a vacuum, etc. In various

embodiments, the temperature of the glass substrate 134 is maintained below 500 degrees C, 400 degrees C, 300 degrees C, 200 degrees C or 100 degrees C. In a particular embodiment, the glass substrate is maintained at or below room temperature during bending. In a particular embodiment, the glass substrate is not actively heated via a heating element, furnace, oven, etc. during bending, as is the case when applying hot-forming glass to a curved shape.

[0042] While force 144 is being applied, the adhesive material of adhesive layer 142 is cured such that glass substrate 134 is bonded to curved support surface 120. Because the bonding occurs during application of force 144, the bond is formed while glass substrate 134 has been bent to the curved shape shown in FIG. 3. Once the adhesive material is cured, the adhesive material of adhesive layer 142 holds glass substrate 134 in the curved shape. In this manner, adhesive layer 142 provides for combined functionality, crack resistance as discussed herein and bonding to the associated frame support structure.

[0043] As will be understood, curing of adhesive layer 142 will depend on the type of adhesive material used to form adhesive layer 142. In specific embodiments, the adhesive material of adhesive layer 142 is a room temperature or thermally cured material, and the curing step involves application of temperature/heat to cure adhesive layer 142. In other specific embodiments, depending on the adhesive material of adhesive layer 142, cure mechanisms could include radiation curing, change of pH, use of catalysts, activators or moisture.

[0044] In various embodiments, glass substrate 134 is formed from a strengthened glass sheet (e.g., a thermally strengthened glass material, a chemically strengthened glass sheet, etc.). In such embodiments, when glass substrate 134 is formed from a strengthened glass material, first major surface 136 and second major surface 138 are under compressive stress, and thus first major surface 136 can experience greater tensile stress during bending without risking fracture. This allows for strengthened glass substrate 134 to conform to more tightly curved surfaces.

[0045] A feature of a cold-formed glass substrate is an asymmetric surface compressive stress between the first major surface 136 and the second major surface 138 once the glass substrate has been bent to the curved shape. In such embodiments, prior to the cold-forming process or being cold-formed, the respective compressive stresses in the first major surface 136 and the second major surface 138 of glass substrate 134 are substantially equal. After cold-forming, the compressive stress on concave second major surface 138 increases such that the compressive stress on the second major surface 138 is greater after cold-forming than before cold-forming. In contrast, convex first major surface 136 experiences tensile stresses during bending causing a net decrease in surface compressive stress on surface 136, such that the compressive stress in surface 136 following bending is less than the compressive stress in surface 136 when the glass sheet is flat.

[0046] As noted above, in addition to providing processing advantages such as eliminating expensive and/or slow heating steps, the cold-forming processes discussed herein are believed to generate curved glass articles with a variety of properties that are superior to hot- formed glass articles, particularly for vehicle interior or display cover glass applications. For example, Applicant believes that, for at least some glass materials, heating during hot- forming processes decreases optical properties of curved glass sheets, and thus, the curved glass substrates formed utilizing the cold-bending processes/sy stems discussed herein provide for both curved glass shape along with improved optical qualities not believed achievable with hot-bending processes.

[0047] Further, many glass surface treatments (e.g., anti-glare coatings, anti -reflective coatings, etc.) are applied via deposition processes, such as sputtering processes, that are typically ill-suited for coating curved glass articles. In addition, many surface treatments (e.g., anti-glare coatings, anti -reflective coatings, decorative coatings, etc.) also are not able to survive the high temperatures associated with hot-bending processes. Thus, in particular embodiments discussed herein, one or more surface treatments are applied to major surface 136 and/or to major surface 138 of glass substrate 134 prior to cold-bending, and glass substrate 134 including the surface treatment is bent to a curved shape as discussed herein. Thus, Applicant believes that the processes and systems discussed herein allow for bending of glass after one or more coating materials have been applied to the glass, in contrast to typical hot-forming processes.

[0048] In various embodiments, a cold-formed glass substrate 134 may have a compound curve including a major radius and a cross curvature. A complexly curved cold-formed glass substrate 134 may have a distinct radius of curvature in two independent directions.

According to one or more embodiments, a complexly curved cold-formed glass substrate 134 may thus be characterized as having "cross curvature," where the cold-formed glass substrate 134 is curved along an axis (i.e., a first axis) that is parallel to a given dimension and also curved along an axis (i.e., a second axis) that is perpendicular to the same dimension. The curvature of the cold-formed glass substrate and the curved display can be even more complex when a significant minimum radius is combined with a significant cross curvature, and/or depth of bend.

[0049] Referring to FIG. 4, additional structural details of glass substrate 134 are shown and described. As noted above, glass substrate 134 has a thickness Tl that is substantially constant and is defined as a distance between the first major surface 136 and the second major surface 138. In various embodiments, Tl may refer to an average thickness or a maximum thickness of the glass substrate. In addition, glass substrate 134 includes a width Wl defined as a first maximum dimension of one of the first or second major surfaces orthogonal to the thickness Tl, and a length Ll defined as a second maximum dimension of one of the first or second surfaces orthogonal to both the thickness and the width. In other embodiments, Wl and Ll may be the average width and the average length of glass substrate 134, respectively.

[0050] In various embodiments, thickness Tl is 1.5 mm or less.

[0054] As shown in FIG. 5, glass substrate 134 can include one or more regions 148 intended to show a display (e.g., an electronic display). In addition, a glass substrate according to some embodiments can be curved in multiple regions 152 and 154 of the glass substrate and in multiple directions (i.e., the glass substrate can be curved about different axes that may or may not be parallel) as shown in FIG. 5. Accordingly, shapes and forms of the possible embodiments are not limited to the examples shown herein. This is an example of curved cover glass substrate that can be used with multiple embodiments discussed herein . Glass substrate 134 of these embodiments can have a complex surface including multiple different shapes including one or more flat sections, one or more conical sections, one or more cylindrical sections, one or more spherical sections, etc.

[0055] The various embodiments of the vehicle interior system may be incorporated into vehicles such as trains, automobiles (e.g., cars, trucks, buses and the like), sea craft (boats, ships, submarines, and the like), and aircraft (e.g., drones, airplanes, jets, helicopters and the like).

Strengthened Glass Properties

[0056] As noted above, glass substrate 134 may be strengthened. In one or more

embodiments, glass substrate 134 may be strengthened to include compressive stress that extends from a surface to a depth of compression (DOC). The compressive stress regions are balanced by a central portion exhibiting a tensile stress. At the DOC, the stress crosses from a positive (compressive) stress to a negative (tensile) stress.

[0057] In various embodiments, glass substrate 134 may be strengthened mechanically by utilizing a mismatch of the coefficient of thermal expansion between portions of the article to create a compressive stress region and a central region exhibiting a tensile stress. In some embodiments, the glass substrate may be strengthened thermally by heating the glass to a temperature above the glass transition point and then rapidly quenching.

[0058] In various embodiments, glass substrate 134 may be chemically strengthened by ion exchange. In the ion exchange process, ions at or near the surface of the glass substrate are replaced by - or exchanged with - larger ions having the same valence or oxidation state. In those embodiments in which the glass substrate comprises an alkali aluminosilicate glass, ions in the surface layer of the article and the larger ions are monovalent alkali metal cations, such as Li ⁺ , Na ⁺ , K ⁺ , Rb ⁺ , and Cs ⁺ . Alternatively, monovalent cations in the surface layer may be replaced with monovalent cations other than alkali metal cations, such as Ag ⁺ or the like. In such embodiments, the monovalent ions (or cations) exchanged into the glass substrate generate a stress.

[0059] Ion exchange processes are typically carried out by immersing a glass substrate in a molten salt bath (or two or more molten salt baths) containing the larger ions to be exchanged with the smaller ions in the glass substrate. It should be noted that aqueous salt baths may also be utilized. In addition, the composition of the bath(s) may include more than one type of larger ion (e.g., Na+ and K+) or a single larger ion. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that parameters for the ion exchange process, including, but not limited to, bath composition and temperature, immersion time, the number of immersions of the glass substrate in a salt bath (or baths), use of multiple salt baths, additional steps such as annealing, washing, and the like, are generally determined by the composition of the glass substrate (including the structure of the article and any crystalline phases present) and the desired DOC and CS of the glass substrate that results from strengthening. Exemplary molten bath composition may include nitrates, sulfates, and chlorides of the larger alkali metal ion. Typical nitrates include KNO3, NaME, LiN03, NaS0 ₄ and combinations thereof. The temperature of the molten salt bath typically is in a range from about 380°C up to about 450°C, while immersion times range from about 15 minutes up to about 100 hours depending on glass substrate thickness, bath temperature and glass (or monovalent ion) diffusivity. However, temperatures and immersion times different from those described above may also be used.

[0060] In one or more embodiments, the glass substrates may be immersed in a molten salt bath of 100% NaNCb, 100% KNCb, or a combination of NaNCb and KNCb having a temperature from about 370 °C to about 480 °C. In some embodiments, the glass substrate may be immersed in a molten mixed salt bath including from about 5% to about 90% KNCb and from about 10% to about 95% NaNCb. In one or more embodiments, the glass substrate may be immersed in a second bath, after immersion in a first bath. The first and second baths may have different compositions and/or temperatures from one another. The immersion times in the first and second baths may vary. For example, immersion in the first bath may be longer than the immersion in the second bath.

[0061] In one or more embodiments, the glass substrate may be immersed in a molten, mixed salt bath including NaNCb and KNCb (e.g., 49%/ 51 %, 50%/50%, 5l%/49%) having a temperature less than about 420 °C (e.g., about 400 °C or about 380 °C). for less than about 5 hours, or even about 4 hours or less.

[0062] Ion exchange conditions can be tailored to provide a“spike” or to increase the slope of the stress profile at or near the surface of the resulting glass substrate. The spike may result in a greater surface CS value. This spike can be achieved by single bath or multiple baths, with the bath(s) having a single composition or mixed composition, due to the unique properties of the glass compositions used in the glass substrates described herein.

[0063] In one or more embodiments, where more than one monovalent ion is exchanged into the glass substrate, the different monovalent ions may exchange to different depths within the glass substrate (and generate different magnitudes stresses within the glass substrate at different depths). The resulting relative depths of the stress-generating ions can be determined and cause different characteristics of the stress profile.

[0064] CS is measured using those means known in the art, such as by surface stress meter (FSM) using commercially available instruments such as the FSM-6000, manufactured by Orihara Industrial Co., Ltd. (Japan). Surface stress measurements rely upon the accurate measurement of the stress optical coefficient (SOC), which is related to the birefringence of the glass. SOC in turn is measured by those methods that are known in the art, such as fiber and four point bend methods, both of which are described in ASTM standard C770-98 (2013), entitled“Standard Test Method for Measurement of Glass Stress-Optical

Coefficient,” the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety, and a bulk cylinder method. As used herein CS may be the“maximum compressive stress” which is the highest compressive stress value measured within the compressive stress layer.

In some embodiments, the maximum compressive stress is located at the surface of the glass substrate. In other embodiments, the maximum compressive stress may occur at a depth below the surface, giving the compressive profile the appearance of a“buried peak.”

[0065] DOC may be measured by FSM or by a scattered light polariscope (SCALP) (such as the SCALP-04 scattered light polariscope available from Glasstress Ltd., located in Tallinn Estonia), depending on the strengthening method and conditions. When the glass substrate is chemically strengthened by an ion exchange treatment, FSM or SCALP may be used depending on which ion is exchanged into the glass substrate. Where the stress in the glass substrate is generated by exchanging potassium ions into the glass substrate, FSM is used to measure DOC. Where the stress is generated by exchanging sodium ions into the glass substrate, SCALP is used to measure DOC. Where the stress in the glass substrate is generated by exchanging both potassium and sodium ions into the glass, the DOC is measured by SCALP, since it is believed the exchange depth of sodium indicates the DOC and the exchange depth of potassium ions indicates a change in the magnitude of the compressive stress (but not the change in stress from compressive to tensile); the exchange depth of potassium ions in such glass substrates is measured by FSM. Central tension or CT is the maximum tensile stress and is measured by SCALP.

[0066] In one or more embodiments, the glass substrate may be strengthened to exhibit a DOC that is described as a fraction of the thickness Tl of the glass substrate (as described herein). For example, in one or more embodiments, the DOC may be equal to or greater than about 0.05T1, equal to or greater than about 0.1T1, equal to or greater than about 0.11T1, equal to or greater than about 0.12T1, equal to or greater than about 0.13T1, equal to or greater than about 0.14T1, equal to or greater than about 0.15T1, equal to or greater than about 0.16T1, equal to or greater than about 0.17T1, equal to or greater than about 0.18T1, equal to or greater than about 0.19T1, equal to or greater than about 0.2T1, equal to or greater than about 0.21T1. In some embodiments, The DOC may be in a range from about 0.08T1 to about 0.25T1, from about 0.09T1 to about 0.25T1, from about 0.18T1 to about 0.25T1, from about 0.11T1 to about 0.25T1, from about 0.12T1 to about 0.25T1, from about 0.13T1 to about 0.25T1, from about 0.14T1 to about 0.25T1, from about 0.15T1 to about 0.25T1, from about 0.08T1 to about 0.24T1, from about 0.08T1 to about 0.23T1, from about 0.08T1 to about 0.22T1, from about 0.08T1 to about 0.21T1, from about 0.08T1 to about 0.2T1, from about 0.08T1 to about 0.19T1, from about 0.08T1 to about 0.18T1, from about 0.08T1 to about 0.17T1, from about 0.08T1 to about 0.16T1, or from about 0.08T1 to about 0.15T1. In some instances, the DOC may be about 20 mih or less. In one or more embodiments, the DOC may be about 40 mih or greater (e.g., from about 40 gm to about 300 gm, from about 50 gm to about 300 gm, from about 60 gm to about 300 gm, from about 70 gm to about 300 gm, from about 80 gm to about 300 gm, from about 90 gm to about 300 gm, from about 100 gm to about 300 gm, from about 110 gm to about 300 gm, from about 120 gm to about 300 gm, from about 140 gm to about 300 gm, from about 150 gm to about 300 gm, from about 40 gm to about 290 gm, from about 40 gm to about 280 gm, from about 40 gm to about 260 gm, from about 40 gm to about 250 gm, from about 40 gm to about 240 gm, from about 40 gm to about 230 gm, from about 40 gm to about 220 gm, from about 40 gm to about 210 gm, from about 40 gm to about 200 gm, from about 40 gm to about 180 gm, from about 40 gm to about 160 gm, from about 40 gm to about 150 gm, from about 40 gm to about 140 gm, from about 40 gm to about 130 gm, from about 40 gm to about 120 gm, from about 40 gm to about 110 gm, or from about 40 gm to about 100 gm. In other embodiments, DOC falls within any one of the exact numerical ranges set forth in this paragraph.

Examples

[0091] Applicant has demonstrated the effectiveness of various adhesive materials at limiting shattering/crack formation in a variety of sharp local impact tests, the results of which are illustrated in FIGS. 6-9. In these tests, the impactor is a sharp punch with a mass of 69.160 g. The impactor was dropped from a height of 5” on each of the glass samples discussed below. The samples were prepared by laminating glass on to a 0.125” thick Aluminum 3000 plate. The various adhesives were applied following manufacturer recommended application processes. The thicknesses of the adhesive layers for each test were around 125 microns, except for the VHB adhesive which was about 1.1 mm. To prepare curved glass samples, the aluminum plate was rolled to desired radius and then the glass was cold bent on to the rolled aluminum plate and bonded using each of the test adhesives. Clamps were utilized to hold the cold bent glass in shape until the desired curing time of the adhesives was achieved. The glass used in all tests was 0.7 mm thick Gorilla® Glass available from Corning Inc.

[0092] FIG. 6 shows the effect of six different adhesives (modulus from 1.55 GPa to 0.45 MPa) on the frangibility of a flat sheet of glass. As shown in FIG. 6, no crack branching and growth was observed in higher modulus adhesives. With very low modulus adhesives, a clear star pattern in cracks is observed after the sharp local impact. This example

demonstrates the effect of high modulus adhesive on frangibility.

[0093] FIG. 7 shows the effect of two adhesives (high and low modulus of 1.55 GPa and 0.45 Mpa, respectively) on the frangibility of glass in the 3D concave shape. The radius of curvature of the glass sheet was 100 mm. In both of these cases, the glass sample fractured into many small pieces. However, with the high modulus adhesive, most of the glass shards were retained as compared to low modulus case.

[0094] FIG. 8 is similar to FIG. 7, except the radius of curvature was increased to 250 mm.

In this case, the high modulus adhesive glass sample showed much better frangibility as compared to the low modulus case.

[0095] FIG. 9 shows the effect of four different adhesives (modulus from 1.55 GPa to 0.45 MPa) on the frangibility of glass in the 3D convex shape. The radius of curvature of the glass sheet was 250 mm. As shown, crack branching and growth was severely reduced in high modulus adhesives compared to low modulus adhesives.

[0096] FIG. 10 shows the setup for Headform Impact Test (HIT) that was utilized for the HIT testing. HIT is one of the most important criteria for determining occupant safety in a motor vehicle collision. Automotive companies are always looking for ways to improve occupant safety via new designs and/or utilizing energy absorbing materials. The FMVSS201 and ECE R21 regulations describe the requirements for automotive interiors components during a crash event. These regulations are similar for the most part, with some differences in how impact zones and angles are defined. Per these regulations:“A point within the head impact area is impacted by a 15 pound, 6.5 inch diameter head form at a velocity of 15 miles per hour. The deceleration of the head form shall not exceed 80 g continuously for more than 3 milliseconds (ms).” In addition to these requirements, there is a desire from automotive companies that cover glasses not break during the impact event. However, in case of breaking, it is generally desirable that no large pieces be formed that may injure the vehicle occupant. Table 1 below shows the test data from the HIT test. Table 1

[0097] Table 1 shows the data of several samples (as-received and different abrasion conditions) and adhesives from the HIT testing. Abrasion on the interior surface of the glass article was utilized to mimic defects in manufacturing or handling glass parts. The abrasion was created using 90 grit SiC at 10 psi for 5 seconds. The Cs/DOL of Gorilla® Glass was at 830 MPa/40 um. The as received Gorilla® glass samples passed headform impact test with no breakage. This is due to high compressive stress of 830 MPa on the surface of glass. For the glass samples with abrasion on the interior surface, only high modulus adhesives passed the HIT test. Without wishing to be bound with theory, it is believed that the high modulus adhesive on the interior surface with abrasion greatly limits the propagation of crack during the headform impact test. This test shows that the use of high modulus adhesive allows higher level of manufacturing/handling related defects.

[0098] HIT testing can present challenges when performed on an edge of a surface, as edges may include defects or otherwise be susceptible to mechanical effects that could cause the impacted glass surface to fail HIT testing. For example, an impact on or near the edge of a glass surface can result buckling in the glass surface, which causes a failure some distance away from the edge. This type of edge failure can result in a HIT failure. However, the use of a high modulus adhesive on the interior surface of a glass article as described herein can improve HIT performance for impacts on or near the edge of the glass article. In general, without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the high modulus adhesive reduces or prevents buckling at the edge, thus preventing the failure in the glass surface. This improved edge performance can be achieved for curved or flat glass sheets using a high modulus adhesive.
