A method of surface strengthening of soda lime aluminosilicate glasses by Li and Al ion vapour treatment
This research is directed to benefit an international glass industry research consortium (IPGR) to offset the high cost of transportation and the risk of breakage during on-line handling, by improving the lightweighting or strength to weight ratio of container glasses. A thematic addition to previous paper [J non-crystalline solids 351(30)2524-2536] demonstrating specific research achievement (awaiting patent) in the development and application of several methods of strengthening container glasses by an extraordinary 103 % of half the normal weight thus saving materials, improving recyclability and profitability of commercially available container and related glass compositions by Emhart Glass (Hammfelddmm 4B, DE41460, Germany).
