Method for extracting sodium elements from glass surface

Abstract

A method for extracting sodium elements from a glass surface is provided. The method includes extracting sodium elements from the surface of glass by etching the Na containing glass substrate with strong acid. The corrosion of the glass surface can be prevented at low cost, without a change in the characteristics of glass materials. Also, an adhesive strength between glass and metal can be improved. Further, change in the characteristics of a deposited layer due to diffusion of sodium elements can be prevented.
