Abstract

The disclosure relates to an improved glass product having a multifunctional coating or a durable top coat over a functional coating. The glass product may include a functional coating on that is most effective on a surface exposed to various mechanical and chemical elements. The disclosed coating provides a durable protective coating over the functional layer to provide protection over the functional layer on an exposed surface. Alternatively, the functional coating may be applied to the protective coating with a porous, nano-structured surface, which protects the functional coating applied thereto.

Abstract

This disclosure relates generally to glass products having a UV protective coating. The coating is a porous, nano-structured coating having pores sized within the range of UV radiation. The porous structure may scatter UV light, protecting laminated interlayers and interior space protected by the glass products. The UV protective coating may be used in glass laminates having UV-sensitive interlayers, including switchable films where UV exposure may be limited.

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an improved automotive glass, such as a windshield, for use in head-up display systems and methods of making the automotive glass. The windshield may include a durable anti-reflective coating on an outer surface that is durable to sustain physical and chemical elements typical for a windshield. The coating may further be placed on an interior surface of the windshield to provide protection over an IRR coating on the interior surface, such that the IRR coating may provide a reflection of a head-up display image. The method of heat treating glass for preparation of a windshield may include phase separating a glass coating which may then be etched to provide a nano-structured porous coating.
