Embodiment 1

[0082]In order to observe the ability of metal oxide nanoparticles to neutralize potassium hydroxide, 0.06 g of SiO with an average particle size of about 7 nm 2 Nanoparticles were dissolved in 1 L of 0.001 M KOH solution. The solution was then heated to about 22°C and stirred at 400 rpm while monitoring and recording the conductivity and pH of the solution every 5 minutes. figure 2 The results are shown graphically.

[0083] Such as figure 2 The results shown show that the inclusion of silica nanoparticles in the potassium hydroxide solution resulted in a smooth decrease in both the conductivity and pH of the solution. As shown, the drop in pH is directly related to the drop in conductivity. Without being bound by any particular theory, it is believed that both the conductivity and the pH of the solution drop may be due to the potassium (K + ) and hydroxide (OH - ) caused by the reduction or elimination of ions. Within 1 hour, the conductivity of the solution dropped ...

Embodiment 2

[0085] The procedure as described in Example 1 was carried out again at a temperature of about 50°C. The conductivity and pH of the solution were monitored and recorded every 5 minutes. image 3 The results are shown graphically.

[0086] Such as image 3 The results shown show that the inclusion of silica nanoparticles in the potassium hydroxide solution resulted in a smooth decrease in both the conductivity and pH of the solution. The conductivity of the solution dropped from about 250 μS / cm to about 175 μS / cm over the course of 30 minutes. Similarly, the pH of the solution dropped from about 10.50 to about 9.95. This decrease in conductivity indicates that the nanoparticles are able to reduce the concentration of free ions in solution. That is, the nanoparticles are capable of reacting or binding with ions present in the molten salt bath. Similarly, this pH decrease indicates that the nanoparticles can effectively neutralize potassium hydroxide in the molten salt bath,...

Embodiment 3

[0088] The procedure as described in Example 1 was carried out again at a temperature of about 80°C. The conductivity and pH of the solution were monitored and recorded every 60 seconds. Figure 4 The results are shown graphically.

[0089] Such as Figure 4 The results shown show that the inclusion of silica nanoparticles in the potassium hydroxide solution resulted in a smooth decrease in both the conductivity and pH of the solution. The conductivity of the solution dropped from about 300 μS / cm to about 250 μS / cm over the course of 5 minutes. Similarly, the pH of the solution dropped from about 10.49 to about 10.37. This decrease in conductivity indicates that the nanoparticles are able to reduce the concentration of free ions in solution. That is, the nanoparticles are capable of reacting or binding with ions present in the molten salt bath. Similarly, this pH decrease indicates that the nanoparticles can effectively neutralize potassium hydroxide in the molten salt ba...

Abstract

Methods generally include contacting an alkali-containing glass article having a first alkali metal cation with a molten salt bath comprising from 0.1 wt% to 3 wt% nanoparticles and at least one alkali metal salt having a second alkali metal cation, the atomic radius of the second alkali metal cation is greater than the atomic radius of the first alkali metal cation. The nanoparticles may include at least one of metalloid oxide nanoparticles and metal oxide nanoparticles. The method further includes maintaining the glass article in contact with the molten salt bath to allow the first alkali metal cation to exchange with a second alkali metal cation of the molten salt bath. Further, the method may include removing contact of the glass article with the molten salt bath to produce a strengthened glass article. The strengthened glass article may have a surface hydrolysis resistant titration volume of less than 1.5 mL.

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of priority under 35 U.S.C §120 to U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 62 / 880,969, filed July 31, 2019, which is based upon the contents of that application and is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] This specification generally relates to methods for chemically strengthening glass articles, and more particularly, this specification relates to salt bath compositions used during such strengthening and glass articles strengthened thereby. Background technique [0004] Tempered or strengthened glass can be used in a variety of applications. For example, strengthened glass can be used in consumer electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets due to its physical durability and resistance to breakage. Strengthened glass can also be used in pharmaceutical packaging. In such applications, in addition to physical durability, the chemical durab...
