Abstract
A glass laminate structure is disclosed with a first and a second glass ply and a printed polymer ply interposed between the first and second glass plies, the printed polymer ply may be of PVB or PET having nanoparticle-containing ink adhered to at least a portion of a surface. Optionally there may be at least one further polymer ply which may be of PVB, PVA, COP or TPU. The nanoparticle-containing ink may contain electrically conductive nanoparticles, especially silver nanoparticle-containing ink. Also disclosed is a process for producing such a glass laminate structure.
Claims20
A process for producing a glass laminate structure, the process comprising:
- a) providing a first glass ply and a second glass ply;
- b) providing a printed polymer ply having a nanoparticle-containing ink adhered to at least a portion of at least one surface thereof;
- c) interposing the printed polymer ply between the first and second glass plies;
- and
- d) after step c), heating the printed polymer ply to a temperature in the range of 90° C. to 160° C.,
- thereby laminating the glass structure and firing/sintering the nanoparticle containing ink.
