Technical FAQs 4

Does display cover glass have a robust alkali-resistance of UV-shielding and strengthening sol-gel coating?

In this report, robust alkali-resistance of display cover glass's UV-shielding and strengthening sol-gel coatings have been successfully prepared, using 2,2′,4,4′-tetrahydroxybenzophenone (BP-2), γ- (2,3-epoxypropoxy) propyltrimethoxysilane (KH560) and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as raw materials.

How to make a cover glass a strong alkali-resistant coating?

Robust alkali-resistant is obtained by tailoring an organic UV absorbent bonded to SiO 2 sol-gel. The new and facile preparation of the coating presents its application possibility on cover glass. Cover glass with UV-shielding function is important to mobile displays such as mobile phones and tablet PCs, as well as flexible photovoltaic cells.

Does bp-2/sio2 reduce UV-shielding after alkaline corrosion?

After alkali corrosion, glass's UV-shielding with the BP-2/SiO2 coupling or uncoupling coatings is 90.03 % or 80.03 %, respectively. The BP-2/SiO 2 coupling coatings significantly improve alkaline corrosion resistance.

What are the advantages of SiO2 sol-gel coating on cover glass?

Visible light transmittance remains 90.16 %. Bending strength increases by 52 MPa, and drop ball impact resistance improves by 16 %. Robust alkali-resistant is obtained by tailoring an organic UV absorbent bonded to SiO 2 sol-gel. The new and facile preparation of the coating presents its application possibility on cover glass.
