The present disclosure relates to the field of glass preparation, in particular a composition for glass, aluminosilicate glass, preparation method therefor, and use thereof.
With the popularity of smart phones and tablet computers, the mobile intelligence era has begun. Intelligent devices, including smart phones and tablet computers, have the similar performances to the laptops at present. For this reason, people can carry out high-level business and enjoy entertainment activities with the convenience of wireless communication all the time. In such a trend, the demand for display performance is improving increasingly, especially for the image quality of the mobile intelligent device, and the requirements of outdoor visibility are also improving. Meanwhile, it is an inevitable trend to make the products lighter and thinner to alleviate the using burden of handheld devices. Under the guidance of this development trend, the display panels are developing towards thin and light, and ultra-high definition display, and the panel processing technology is developing towards the higher processing temperature. Moreover, the thickness of single glass is 0.25 mm, 0.2 mm and 0.1 mm thick or even thinner after processing. However, as the thickness of a glass substrate decreases greatly, the mechanical strength of the display panel has reduced greatly when it is boxed, the ability to resist drop and impact has been seriously challenged, and the bending test fails frequently in the course of manufacturing the panel. Hence, one of the important topics is to improve the fracture toughness of the glass substrate and reduce the fragility of the glass material during the formula research.
On the other hand, the substrate of a flexible display device can be made of glass, organic polymer, metal and other materials. The existing materials have their own advantages and disadvantages in performance. At present, there is no material with high strength and high toughness. Organic polymer flexible substrates have the advantages of low cost and easy manufacturing, but there are some disadvantages in heat resistance. For instance, the optimized polyimide (Polyimide, referred to as PI) has a high temperature resistance over 400° C., but cannot still meet the requirements of 600° C. high temperature processing during the low temperature polysilicon (LTPS) process. Compared with the flexible materials, such as polymer and metal foil, an ultra-thin glass with a thickness of less than 0.1 mm is a kind of glass material with a highly optimized formula. It has excellent performance of resisting vapor and oxygen, good chemical resistance and mechanical property, and low thermal expansion and high thermal stability. Its greatest advantage lies in the maturity and compatibility of the coating technology. At present, the mainstream active matrix liquid crystal display (AMLCD) and active matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) panel are provided with thin film transistors (TFT) on the glass substrates thereof. With the mature relevant technologies, equipment and industrial chains and very ideal compatibility, the production cost will be reduced greatly and necessarily. Although the flexible glass substrate cannot be folded, folding devices are not required in all application scenarios. There is still a high demand for non-folding flexible photoelectric devices.
It is worth noting that the problems required to be broken through for an ultra-thin glass are to lower fragility and expand advantages thereof in its formula due to its fragility. On the other hand, providing the flexible glass substrate with high heat resistance is conducive to the smooth implementation of the LTPS technology and so on, for instance, when the strain point is higher than 600° C., 640° C., or even 680° C. For flexible encapsulated cover plate materials, an ultra-thin flexible alkali-free glass cover plate with low fragility has better strength and air tightness than those of the polymer materials, but there are also fragility problems which cannot be avoided by the glass materials. Hence, one of the important problems to be solved are to reduce fragility and improve toughness in the formula.

The composition for glass provided by the present disclosure is a glass formula with a good fracture toughness, belonging to the aluminosilicate glass system. It is suitable for various conventional glass manufacturing methods such as float process, overflow process, rolling process and down-draw process, to produce flat glass with a thickness of >0.1 mm or flexible glass with a thickness of <0.1 mm (i.e., the flexible glass with a thickness of <0.1 mm obtained by a one-step processing method), or methods apply to secondary melting and thinning, to produce flexible glass with a thickness of <0.1 mm. The glass prepared by the present disclosure has a high strain point, a low melting temperature, a high thermal expansion coefficient, and meanwhile has good toughness, and thus is applicable to large-scale industrial production.
According to a preferred implementation of the present disclosure, the composition for glass, in molar percentage, contains 40 mol % of SiO2 or more. The composition for glass contains the specific contents of SiO2, B2O3, P2O5, GeO2, TeO2, Al2O3, Ga2O3, ZnO, Y2O3 and alkaline earth metal oxides.

The product is low in fragility and strong in toughness. The prepared product can be flexible glass with a thickness of 0.05 mm and a curvature radius of less than 3.5 cm.
The composition for glass or the aluminosilicate glass provided by the present disclosure can be used in the preparation of display devices and/or solar cells, particularly in the preparation of materials of a substrate glass substrate and/or a glass film material for screen surface protection for panel display products, a substrate glass substrate and/or a surface encapsulated glass and/or a glass film materials for screen surface protection for panel display products, a substrate glass substrates for flexible solar cells, and other uses requiring the glass materials with low fragility and high toughness.
Other features and advantages of the present disclosure will be elaborated in the subsequent detailed description.
The specific implementations of the present disclosure will be described as below in detail. It should be understood that the embodiments depicted herein are only used for stating and explaining the disclosure, without any limit to the disclosure.
The first aspect of the present disclosure provides a composition for glass, in molar percentage, in the composition, the total content of SiO2, B2O3, P2O5, GeO2 and TeO2 is 60˜85 mol %; the total content of Al2O3 and Ga2O3 is 3˜20 mol %; the total content of ZnO and Y2O3 is 0.1˜5 mol %; and the total content of alkaline earth metal oxide is 4˜30 mol %.
In the composition for glass provided by the present disclosure, SiO2 is used as a matrix consisting a network structure. The addition of SiO2 can improve the heat resistance and chemical durability of the glass, make the glass less likely to devitrify, and contribute to the vitrification process. However, excessive SiO2 will raise the melting temperature and increase the fragility, thereby proposing too high requirements for the production process.
In the composition for glass provided by the present disclosure, B2O3, P2O5, GeO2 and TeO2 are used as the matrix for constituting the aluminosilicate glass to separately generate the glass. Their addition can lower the fragility of the glass. In the meantime, B2O3, P2O5, GeO2 and TeO2 are good cosolvents capable of greatly lowering the melting temperature of the glass, thereby benefiting the vitrification process. However, the low-temperature viscosity of the glass will be reduced by excessive GeO2 and TeO2. Hence, preferably, in molar percent, the sum of the contents of B2O3 and P2O5 is greater than 0, and a ratio of the sum of the contents of B2O3 and P2O5 to the sum of the contents of B2O3, P2O5, GeO2 and TeO2 is 0.6˜1; particularly preferably, the ratio is 0.68˜0.92.
In the research, the inventor of the present disclosure further found that the mechanical property and chemical resistant property of the prepared glass can be further improved when the content of SiO2 is 40 mol % or more in molar percentage. Hence, for the purpose of further improving the comprehensive performance and lowering the fragility of the glass prepared, preferably, in molar percentage, the content of SiO2 is 40 mol % or more, and the total content of SiO2, B2O3, P2O5, GeO2 and TeO2 is 65˜80 mol %. Particularly preferably, the content of SiO2 is 44 mol % or more but less than 72 mol %.
In the composition for glass provided by the present invention, Al2O3 can be added to accelerate the progress and depth of ion exchange, but its ability to compete for free oxygen is very strong. The introduction of massive Al2O3 will lower the opening degree of the glass structure, make the glass tend to be rigid and increase the fragility of the glass. Meanwhile, it will cause the glass to be devitrified and reduce the thermal expansion coefficient, make it difficult to match with the surrounding materials, excessive surface tension and viscosity of high-temperature, and harder production process of the glass. Ga2O3 and Al2O3 have a part of similar functions, which can greatly accelerate the ion exchange rate in the chemical strengthening process, effectively increase the glass strain point to raise the melting temperature slowly, and meanwhile effectively improve the impact strength and toughness of the glass. However, due to the radius ratio effect, excessive Ga2O3 will reduce the proportion as the network forming body, increase the proportion as the network modifiers, weaken the above advantages, and meanwhile excessively raise the liquidus temperature. Therefore, the adding contents and proportions of Al2O3 and Ga2O3 are particularly limited. Based on the overall consideration, in molar percentage, the total content of Al2O3 and Ga2O3 is 3˜20 mol %, preferably 5˜17 mol %, further preferably, in molar percentage, the ratio of the content of Al2O3 to the sum of the contents of Al2O3 and Ga2O3 is 0.7˜1.
In the composition for glass provided by the present invention, MgO, CaO, SrO and BaO belong to the alkaline earth metal oxides. They can be added to effectively lower the high-temperature viscosity to improve the meltability, formability and strain point of the glass. Also, MgO and BaO have the characteristics of reducing the fragility of glass. Excessive contents thereof will increase the incidence rates of density increasing, cracking, devitrification and phase separation. Hence, based on comprehensive consideration and taking the total moles of all components as the reference, the glass contains 4˜30 mol % of alkaline earth metal oxide selected from any one or more of MgO, CaO, SrO and BaO. Preferably, in molar percentage, the ratio of the sum of the contents of MgO and BaO to the sum of the contents of MgO, CaO, SrO and BaO is greater than 0.5.
In the glass composition provided by the present invention, the rare earth oxide Y2O3 has a unique ability to improve some properties of the glass, for instance, the bending strength, the strain point of the glass and performance of the glass increase greatly with the addition of the rare earth oxide, to lower the glass fragility, greatly improve the fracture toughness, and reduce the high-temperature viscosity as the rare earth oxide is added, thereby bringing great convenience to the large-scale industrial manufacture of the glass. ZnO can effectively reduce a maximum devitrification temperature of the glass, and can improve the strength and rigidity, increase the chemical resistance, and reduce the fragile value and the thermal expansion coefficient of the glass below a softening point. However, excessive Y2O3 will promote the decrease of non-bridging oxygen and weaken the above advantages; excessive ZnO will greatly reduce the glass strain point. Hence, taking various factors into comprehensive account and based on the molar content of the composition, the sum of the contents of ZnO and Y2O3 is 0.1˜5 mol %.
In the glass composition provided by the present invention, according to different glass preparation processes, the composition can also contain a fining agent when the glass is molten, and the fining agent is preferably at least one of sulfate, nitrate, tin oxide and stannous oxide; based on the total moles of all components, the content of the fining agent is no more than 1 mol %. There is no special limits for the specific selection of the fining agent, which can be various common choices in the art, for instance, the sulfate can be barium sulfate, and the nitrates can be barium nitrate.
When the glass composition contains barium sulfate and/or barium nitrate and/or strontium nitrate as the fining agent, the contents of barium sulfate and barium nitrate are calculated by barium oxide, and the content of strontium nitrate by strontium oxide. At this time, the content of the RO further includes barium sulfate, barium nitrate and strontium nitrate according to the contents of barium oxide and/or strontium oxide in the fining agent.

When glass composition provided by the present invention is used for preparing the aluminosilicate glass, the reason why the glass can have the aforementioned excellent comprehensive properties is mainly attributed to mutual cooperation between all components in the composition, especially cooperation among SiO2, B2O3, P2O5, GeO2, Te2, Al2O3, Ga2O3, ZnO, Y2O3, MgO, CaO, SrO and BaO, further especially mutual cooperation between all components having the specific contents.
