This disclosure relates to the field of surface coating technology, and particularly to a functional coating that can be coated on a surface of a glass sheet. Specifically, in the disclosure, a coating solution for blocking ultraviolet (UV) and blue light, a glass sheet for blocking UV and blue light, and a laminated glass for blocking UV and blue light are provided, and a laminated glass for blocking UV and blue light and capable of dimming or light emitting is further provided.
A functional coating can be formed on a surface of a substrate by means of surface coating technology, so as to satisfy requirements such as infrared blocking, ultraviolet (UV) blocking, hydrophobic property and oleophobic property, and fog resistance. A UV-blocking coating can significantly reduce a transmittance of UV rays, thereby reducing harm caused by UV rays to human health, and preventing interior decorations of vehicles and houses from aging and fading in a short period. There has been a relatively mature technology for forming a UV-blocking coating on a surface of a glass substrate. For example, Japanese Patent Applications No. 2009184882A, No. 2013189345A, and Chinese Patent Applications No. 102892851A, No. 103347833A, and No. 111819160A, etc., disclose a technology for forming a UV-blocking coating on a surface of a glass substrate by coating a UV-blocking coating solution, the glass substrate with the UV-blocking coating whereby has a relatively good UV-blocking capability and relatively high mechanical durability in hardness and abrasion resistance, etc.
In a visible spectrum, light in a wavelength range of 400 nm˜500 nm is generally defined as blue light, where short-wave blue light in a wavelength range of 400 nm˜420 nm has relatively high energy that may be harmful to a retina and cause visual fatigue, dazzle, maculopathy, etc. Therefore, a transmittance of the short-wave blue light also needs to be reduced. Chinese Patent Application No. 109455945A discloses a reflective blue-light blocking glass sheet and a method for manufacturing the glass sheet.

Evaluation
Glass sheet samples obtained in embodiments 1 to 5 and comparative embodiments 1 and 2 are evaluated by the following test, and an evaluation result is illustrated in Table 1.
Transmittance: a transmittance spectrum over a wavelength range of 250 nm˜2550 nm is measured by using a spectrophotometer. A UV transmittance over a wavelength range of 300 nm˜400 nm and a visible-light transmittance over a wavelength range of 400 nm˜800 nm are calculated according to ISO 13837 standard, and a maximum blue-light transmittance over a wavelength range of 400 nm˜440 nm is obtained according to the transmittance spectrogram. The transmittance in the disclosure refers to an average value that is obtained by measuring five different points on the same glass-sheet sample.
Coating thickness: The coating thickness is measured by a step gauge.
Aging resistance: in an aging resistance test, a sample is putted into a xenon lamp aging tester (model: CI4000 U.S.) with calibrated lamp tubes, where a rainfall cycle is set to consist of drying time of 102 minutes and rainfall time of 18 minutes, an irradiance is set to be 60±2 w/m2 with a wavelength of 300 nm˜400 nm, test time is set to be 3000 hours, a black panel temperature is set to be 65±3° C., and a relative humidity is set to be 50±10%. The sample after the aging resistance test is observed to determine that whether there is a crack on an appearance of the coating.
Abrasion resistance: the abrasion resistance is measured by a plane abrasion tester. A glass sample is placed on the plane abrasion tester with a coating facing upward and subjected to 1000-revolution plane abrasion resistance test.
Haze: a hazemeter is used to test a sample after the abrasion resistance test. Haze1 is obtained by testing a region that has not undergone the abrasion resistance test. Haze2 is obtained by moving the sample and testing a region that has undergone the abrasion resistance test. A haze difference before and after abrasion resistance test is |Haze2−Haze1|.
The following can be seen from Table 1.
In comparative embodiment 1, a silica sol coating is formed on the bent glass panel. Though the silica sol coating satisfies the requirements of aging resistance and abrasion resistance, the silica sol coating cannot block the UV and blue light.
In comparative embodiment 2, the coating for blocking UV and blue light is formed on the bent glass panel. However, an excessive amount (such as 30%) of the chelating agent is added to the silicon sol. Although the UV transmittance and the maximum blue-light transmittance of the coating can satisfy requirements and are low, the coating does not satisfy abrasion resistance requirements, and thus the coating cannot serve as a vehicle glass.
In embodiments 1 to 3, the coating for blocking UV and blue light is formed on the bent glass panel. By adding an appropriate amount of the chelating agent to the silicon sol, not only the UV transmittance, the maximum blue-light transmittance, and the visible-light transmittance satisfy requirements, but also both the aging resistance and the abrasion resistance satisfy requirements.
In embodiments 4 and 5, the coating for blocking UV and blue light is formed on the bent glass panel, and an appropriate amount of the chelating agent is added to the silica sol, where more chelating agent is added in embodiments 4 and 5 than embodiments 1 to 3. In embodiments 4 and 5, the UV transmittance satisfies requirements, both the aging resistance and the abrasion resistance also satisfy requirements, the maximum blue-light transmittance is less than that in embodiments 1 to 3, but the visible-light transmittance is less than 70%. Therefore, the glass sheet in embodiments 4 and 5 can be coated to a portion of a vehicle where there is no requirement for visible-light transmittance or where the allowed visible-light transmittance is less than 70%. For example, the glass sheet can serve as a sunroof glass, and in particular a sunroof glass without a sunshade curtain, a dimming sunroof glass, or a light-emitting sunroof glass, etc.
According to the coating solution, the glass sheet, and the method for manufacturing the glass sheet described in the disclosure, both the UV transmittance and the blue-light transmittance can be reduced, such that requirements for blocking both UV and blue light can be satisfied. The coating can also have excellent properties such as aging resistance and abrasion resistance, such that a normal service life of the substrate can be prolonged. Additionally, the coating solution has a very low volatile organic compound (VOC) emission, which is environmentally friendly and easy to coat. The coating can also comply with regulations of vehicle glass. The coating solution, the glass sheet, and the method for manufacturing the glass sheet can be coated to the laminated glass for blocking UV and blue light provided with the dimming structure or the light emitting structure. This enables the laminated glass to block UV and blue light from outside a vehicle, thereby prolonging a normal service life of the dimming structure or the light emitting structure, protecting the dimming structure, blocking blue light emitted by the light emitting structure, providing better protection for human eyes, and achieving sun shading, privacy protection, intelligent energy conservation and the like.
The coating solution for blocking UV and blue light, the glass sheet for blocking UV and blue light and the method for manufacturing the glass sheet, and the laminated glass for blocking UV and blue light and capable of dimming or light emitting are elaborated above, but the disclosure is not limited to the embodiments described above. Any improvements, equivalent modifications, and replacements made according to technical points of the disclosure fall into the protection scope of the disclosure.
