ALKALI METAL DIFFUSION BARRIER LAYER

Amorphous metal oxide barrier layers of titanium oxide, zirconium oxide and zinc/tin oxide are effective as alkali metal ion barrier layers at thicknesses below 180 Angstroms. The amorphous metal oxide barrier layers are most effective when the density of the layer is equal to or greater than 90% of the crystalline density. The barrier layers prevent migration of alkali metal ions such as sodium ions from glass substrates into a medium e.g. electrolyte of a photochromic cell, liquid material of a liquid crystal display device contacting the glass surface. The properties of the medium, particularly electroconductive metal oxide coatings, are susceptible to deterioration by the presence of sodium ions migrating from the glass. One technique to obtain the desired density of the barrier layers is to provide shields upstream and downstream of the cathode to limit the deposit of sputtered material to sputtered material traveling along a path generally normal to the surface being coated.

Then, the at least two sols are mixed with a solvent so as to prepare a coating solution. The coating solution is applied to the glass substrate so as to form thereon a sol film. The thus coated glass substrate is heated so as to transform the sol film into a gel film and to form thereon numerous micro-pits.

The composition for forming an optical element contains at least one kind of compound selected from a condensable hydrolytic compound or a hydrolytic condensate thereof.

HEAT TREATABLE COATED ARTICLE WITH DIAMOND-LIKE CARBON (DLC) AND/OR ZIRCONIUM IN COATING

In certain example embodiments, a coated article includes respective layers including diamond-like carbon (DLC) and zirconium nitride before heat treatment (HT). During (HT), the hydrogenated DLC acts as a fuel which upon combustion with oxygen produces carbon dioxide and/or water. The high temperature developed during this combustion heats the zirconium nitride to a temperature(s) well above the heat treating temperature, thereby causing the zirconium nitride to be transformed into a new post-HT layer including zirconium oxide that is scratch resistant and durable.

Temporary protective covers

A substrate carrying a temporary protective cover and related methods of producing and processing substrates are described. In one embodiment, a substrate has a durable exterior surface bearing a temporary protective cover that protects the durable surface against contamination but that can readily be readily removed from the durable surface by washing with a given washing fluid.

Process for improved glass article coating,and such coated articles

A method for "hot end" coating of vitreous articles, and particularly glassware such as bottles, with zinc oxide, and mixtures thereof with magnesium oxide from organic and inorganic zinc compounds and mixtures thereof with magnesium compounds. Particularly useful is zinc acetate are applied to the vitreous surface at an elevated temperature, and preferably between about 425 C and 650 C, to pyrolytically decompose the metal compound or compounds to form refractory oxide coatings which are transparent and adherent, and articles coated by such a method.
