  4. 2. Modification of Float Glass Surfaces by Ion Exchange

    Author : Stefan Karlsson; Bo Jonson; Helmut Schaeffer; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Ion exchange; float glass; surface modification; surface colour; flexural strength; Glasteknologi; Glass Technology;

    Abstract : Glass is a common material in each person’s life, e.g. drinking vessels, windows, displays, insulation and optical fibres. By modifying the glass surface it is possible to change the performance of the entire glass object, generally known as Surface Engineering. READ MORE

  5. 3. Ion exchange processes on float glass surfaces

    Author : Stefan Karlsson; Bo Jonson; Sven Lidin; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Glasteknologi; Glass Technology;

    Abstract : Glass can be strengthened by ion exchange and this process is presently used inspecial applications e.g. aircraft windshields, displays and spectacle lenses allowinga higher production cost. READ MORE

  6. 4. Gas-filled, flat plate solar collectors

    Author : Johan Vestlund; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Mechanical stresses; collector material; heated cavity; Modelling; Solar collectors;

    Abstract : This work treats the thermal and mechanical performances of gas-filled, flat plate solar collectors in order to achieve a better performance than that of air filled collectors. The gases examined are argon, krypton and xenon which all have lower thermal conductivity than air. The absorber is formed as a tray connected to the glass. READ MORE
