Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of nanocrystalline glass, and in particular to a high-transmittance and high-strength nanocrystalline glass and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] As an important functional material, cover glass is widely used in consumer electronics, automobiles, construction, medical and other fields, especially in electronic products such as smartphones, tablets, wearable devices, etc., where cover glass directly determines the product's appearance, texture, durability and user experience. As electronic devices develop towards thinness, flexibility and high performance, the performance requirements for cover glass are also getting higher and higher, such as high light transmittance, high strength, scratch resistance, impact resistance, weather resistance, etc.

[0003] Traditional cover glass is mostly made of soda-lime glass or aluminosilicate glass, and its surface hardness and impact resistance are improved through chemical strengthening (such as ion exchange). However, the mechanical properties of traditional glass have limited room for improvement and it is difficult to meet the higher requirements of high-end electronic devices for cover glass.

[0004] In recent years, nanocrystalline cover glass has received widespread attention as a new type of material. Nanocrystalline cover glass significantly improves the mechanical properties, thermal stability and functional characteristics of the material by introducing nano-scale crystals into the glass matrix. The presence of nanocrystals can not only improve the hardness and toughness of the glass, but also achieve functional design by regulating the type and distribution of crystals, such as enhancing anti-blue light, anti-ultraviolet, and antibacterial properties. In addition, while maintaining high light transmittance, nanocrystalline cover glass can achieve a lighter and thinner design to meet the demand for lighter and thinner electronic devices.

[0005] At present, the preparation technologies of nanocrystalline cover glass mainly include melt-quenching method, sol-gel method, vapor deposition method, etc. Among them, the melt-quenching method is the most commonly used method, which is to melt the glass raw materials at high temperature and then cool them quickly, and then heat treat them to make the nanocrystals precipitate evenly. However, this method has high requirements on process conditions, the crystal size and distribution are difficult to accurately control, and it is easy to cause the glass transmittance to decrease. Although the sol-gel method can achieve uniform dispersion of nanocrystals, the preparation cycle is long and the cost is high, which is difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production. The vapor deposition method is mainly used for the preparation of thin film materials, and it is difficult to achieve large-scale production of large-size cover glass.

[0006] In addition, the functional design of nanocrystalline cover glass in the existing technology still faces many challenges. For example, how to achieve the multifunctionality of the material by regulating the type, size and distribution of crystals; how to further improve the mechanical properties and thermal stability of the material while maintaining high light transmittance; how to achieve low-cost, high-efficiency large-scale production, etc. These problems limit the widespread application of nanocrystalline cover glass in high-end electronic devices.

[0007] Therefore, developing a new type of nanocrystalline cover glass and its preparation method, which can achieve precise control of crystal size and distribution, while having high light transmittance, high strength, multifunctionality, and good processing performance, has important scientific significance and application value. The present invention aims to solve the above technical problems and provide an innovative nanocrystalline cover glass material and its preparation process to meet the demand for high-performance cover glass in fields such as consumer electronics, automotive, and architecture. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The present invention provides a high-transmission and high-strength nanocrystalline glass, its preparation method, and application. The nanocrystalline glass of the present invention has a relatively high intrinsic strength.

The Li x Al x Si 1-x O 2 crystals, the MgAl 2Si 3 O 10 The crystal is the LiAl(SiO 3 ) 2 Crystal, the Mg 2 Al 4 Si 5 O 18 Precursor crystal of crystal.

[0015] The inventors have limited the content range of each component in the high-transmittance and high-strength nanocrystalline glass provided by the present invention based on the following considerations:

[0016] 1. SiO 2 It is the core component of nanocrystalline glass. As a glass network former, it builds a stable three-dimensional silicon-oxygen tetrahedral network structure, providing a basic skeleton for glass. 2 It not only adjusts the melting temperature, viscosity and forming properties of glass, but also affects the nucleation and growth of crystals, inhibits excessive crystal growth, and forms a uniform microcrystalline structure. In addition, it significantly improves the chemical stability, mechanical strength, hardness and wear resistance of glass, while optimizing optical properties such as transmittance and refractive index. 2 O 3 With the synergistic effect of Al, alkali metal oxides and other components, silicon oxide further optimizes the network structure and performance of glass, making nanocrystalline glass able to meet the high-end application requirements in various fields. 2 O 3 The proportion of oxides such as alkali metals, in terms of molar percentage, in the composition of the high-transmittance and high-strength nanocrystalline glass of the present invention is SiO 2 The suitable range is 60% to 66%, preferably 62% to 66%, and more preferably 63% to 65%.

It can improve the hardness, compressive strength, wear resistance and scratch resistance of the glass, while improving the chemical stability and making it resistant to acid, alkali and water. In addition, Al 2 O 3 It can adjust the melting and crystallization behavior of glass, promote crystal nucleation and growth, and optimize thermal properties, such as reducing the thermal expansion coefficient and improving thermal shock resistance. 2 The synergistic effect of the components, Al 2 O 3 The comprehensive performance of nanocrystalline glass is further improved, considering the reduction of Al 2 O 3The negative effects of the invention are retained, and the Al content of the composition of the high-transmittance and high-strength nanocrystalline glass of the invention is calculated by mole percentage. 2 O 3 The suitable range is 4% to 8%, preferably 5% to 7%, and more preferably 6% to 7%.

Therefore, it is necessary to strictly control Na 2 The amount of O introduced is small to avoid negative impact on material properties.

[0022] 7. ZrO 2 In nanocrystalline glass, ZrO enters the glass network in the form of tetrahedron or octahedron, significantly enhancing the stability and density of the glass, while increasing hardness, compressive strength, bending strength and fracture toughness, and improving mechanical properties. As a strong nucleating agent, ZrO 2 It promotes the nucleation and growth of crystals, regulates the crystal structure, reduces the thermal expansion coefficient, and enhances thermal shock resistance. 2 It can also improve the chemical stability and refractive index of glass, making it suitable for harsh environments and high-refractive-index optical devices. 2 、Al 2 O 3 The synergistic effect of the components, zirconium oxide further optimizes the comprehensive performance of the nanocrystalline glass.

[0024] 9. SnO 2 It is a network former and one of the clarifiers. SnO 2 Decomposition at high temperature produces O 2 The gas floats up with the small bubbles that cannot float up by their own tension during the glass transition stage, which has a good effect on eliminating medium-sized bubbles. 2 The empirical value of the content of SnO is generally low, but since the raw materials of this component contain a high proportion of carbonate raw materials, a large amount of gas substances will be produced.

[0053] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
