Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a glass material, and more particularly to an environmentally friendly glass material that blocks ultraviolet and visible light and has high near-infrared transmittance. [Background technology]
[0002] In recent years, with the development of the optoelectronics industry, the use of near-infrared wavelength band detection (800nm to 2000nm) has become increasingly important, especially in smart devices. Near-infrared lasers are urgently needed for real-time sensing of the surrounding environment to determine the operation and movement of smart devices. Their implementation is based on the need for optical systems to filter out ultraviolet and visible light bands that interfere with the near-infrared operating band, necessitating higher transmittance in the near-infrared band.
[0003] Conventional cadmium selenide glass can cut off ultraviolet and visible light and has higher near-infrared transmittance. However, its disadvantage is that it contains a large amount of cadmium (Cd), which does not meet current environmental standards and poses significant harm to the environment and humans during manufacturing, use, and disposal. Furthermore, cadmium selenide glass has poor chemical stability, making it unsuitable for smart devices that must withstand harsh environments.

[Effects of the Invention]
[0006] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that, through rational component design, the glass material of the present invention achieves ultraviolet and visible light blocking and high near-infrared transmittance while being environmentally friendly. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
[0007] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a curve graph showing the spectral transmittance of an environmentally friendly glass material according to a second embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0008] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below and can be practiced by appropriately modifying them within the scope of the object of the present invention. Furthermore, repeated explanations will be omitted as appropriate, but this does not limit the gist of the present invention. Hereinafter, the environmentally friendly glass material of the present invention may be referred to as glass.
[0009] [Environmentally friendly glass materials] The ranges of the components (constituent elements) of the environmentally friendly glass material of the present invention will be described below. In this specification, unless otherwise specified, the content of each component and the total content are expressed in weight % (wt%).
[0010] Numerical ranges set forth in this specification include upper and lower limits unless otherwise stated, and the terms "greater than or equal to" and "less than or equal to" include the endpoints, and all integers and fractions within the range, but are not limited to the specific values set forth when a range is limited. References to "and / or" in this specification are inclusive, e.g., "A and / or B" means A only, B only, or both A and B.
[0011] <Required and optional ingredients> SiO2 is one of the main components of glass. In the glass of the present invention, an appropriate amount of SiO2 stabilizes coloration, enabling the glass to achieve the desired cutoff performance. Meanwhile, an appropriate amount of SiO2 enhances the chemical stability of the glass. If the SiO2 content is less than 35%, the cutoff performance of the glass will not meet the design requirements, and the chemical stability of the glass will rapidly decrease. Therefore, in the present invention, the lower limit of the SiO2 content is 35%, preferably 40%, and more preferably 42%. If the SiO2 content exceeds 80%, the melting temperature of the glass will rapidly increase, increasing the volatilization of coloring substances and reducing the cutoff performance of the glass. At the same time, the high-temperature viscosity of the glass will rapidly increase, resulting in a rapid increase in bubbles and inclusions in the product. Therefore, in the present invention, the upper limit of the SiO2 content is 80%, preferably 75%, and more preferably 73%.
[0012] The B2O3 in the glass of the present invention improves the melting performance of the glass and enhances its intrinsic quality and chemical stability. However, the inventors have found through research that B2O3 in the glass causes changes in the glass structure, increases the threshold for colorant binding, and reduces the cut-off ability of the glass. Therefore, if the cut-off ability of the glass meets the requirements, B2O3 can be included in an amount of 10% or less, preferably 5% or less, and more preferably 3% or less to improve the melting performance and chemical stability of the glass. In some implementations, it is even preferable that the glass does not contain B2O3.
[0013] Through extensive experimental research, the present inventors have found that in some implementations, the water resistance stability of glass can be improved while optimizing the cutoff performance of the glass by setting the B2O3 / SiO2 ratio to 0.23 or less, preferably 0.15 or less, and more preferably 0.1 or less.
[0014] ZnO in glass can improve the chemical stability of glass and reduce its high-temperature viscosity. The addition of SiO2 can suppress the volatilization of coloring substances during the melting stage while promoting structural changes in the coloring substances, improving the cut-off performance of the glass. If the ZnO content is less than 5%, the cut-off performance of the glass will not meet the requirements and the chemical stability of the glass will be reduced. Therefore, the lower limit of the ZnO content is 5%, preferably 7%, and more preferably 9%. If the ZnO content exceeds 35%, the glass will be prone to devitrification, especially during the molding and annealing stages, and the near-infrared transmittance of the glass will be significantly reduced. Therefore, the upper limit of the ZnO content is 35%, preferably 30%, and more preferably 25%.
[0015] In some implementations of the present invention, if the ZnO / SiO2 ratio is less than 0.07, the chemical stability of the glass will not meet the design requirements, resulting in a decrease in the cutoff performance of the glass. If the ZnO / SiO2 ratio is 0.95 or greater, non-coloring substances in the glass will be more likely to devitrify, resulting in a rapid decrease in near-infrared transmittance, particularly in the 800-1000 nm range. Therefore, the ZnO / SiO2 ratio is 0.07-0.95, more preferably 0.10-0.75, and even more preferably 0.15-0.60. This lowers the threshold for the formation of coloring substances in the glass, contributing to improved cutoff performance and near-infrared transmittance.
[0016] The alkali metal oxides Li2O, Na2O, and K2O contained in the glass of the present invention can reduce the high-temperature viscosity of the glass and reduce the number of bubbles and inclusions in the glass. While lowering the high-temperature viscosity, they can also increase the solubility of coloring substances, improving the cutoff performance of the glass. Furthermore, alkali metal oxides can supply more free oxygen, achieving better cutoff performance and improving the near-infrared transmittance of the glass. However, if the content is less than 8%, the above effects are not significant, and the expansion coefficient of the glass becomes lower than the design target, making it difficult to match with materials with high hardness and high expansion coefficients. If the content exceeds 35%, the glass is prone to devitrification, resulting in reduced cutoff performance and near-infrared transmittance, and a rapid decline in chemical stability. Therefore, the total content of the alkali metal oxides Li2O+Na2O+K2O is 8 to 35%, preferably 9 to 30%, and more preferably 10 to 22%.
[0017] Li2O has an excellent ability to reduce the high-temperature viscosity of glass and is therefore beneficial for improving the essential quality of glass. However, the inventors have found that Li ions have a strong ability to aggregate in glass, inhibiting structural changes in coloring substances and thereby reducing the cutoff performance of the glass. In particular, if the Li2O content exceeds 5%, the glass will not achieve the desired cutoff performance. Therefore, the Li2O content is preferably 5% or less, more preferably 3% or less, and even more preferably 2% or less. In some implementations, it is even more preferable that the glass does not contain Li2O.
[0018] Na2O in glass can reduce the high-temperature viscosity of the glass and lower the threshold for structural changes of coloring substances. At the same time, it can improve the near-infrared transmittance of the glass and increase the thermal expansion coefficient of the glass, facilitating bonding of the glass of the present invention to high-strength transparent materials. If the Na2O content is less than 5%, the near-infrared transmittance of the glass will not meet the design requirements, the cutoff performance of the glass will be reduced, and the thermal expansion coefficient of the glass will be lower than the design requirements. Therefore, the lower limit of the Na2O content is 5%, preferably 7%, and more preferably 8%. If the Na2O content exceeds 25%, the chemical stability of the glass will be reduced, the glass will be more susceptible to devitrification, the threshold for structural changes of coloring substances will be higher, and the cutoff performance of the glass will be reduced. Therefore, the upper limit of the Na2O content is 25%, preferably 22%, and more preferably 19%.
[0019] In this glass system, K2O plays a similar role to Na2O, but its ability to enhance near-infrared radiation is stronger than that of Na2O; on the other hand, its ability to reduce the chemical stability of the glass and its resistance to devitrification are stronger than those of Na2O. Therefore, from the viewpoint of optimizing the chemical stability, devitrification resistance, and cutoff performance of the glass, the K2O content is limited to 1 to 10%, preferably 2 to 8%, and more preferably 3 to 7%.
[0020] Although Al2O3 in glass can improve the chemical stability of the glass, it also reduces the cutoff performance of the glass. If the content exceeds 5%, the cutoff performance of the glass will not meet the design requirements. The Al2O3 content is 5% or less, preferably 3% or less. If the chemical stability of the glass is insufficient, the Al2O3 content is more preferably 1% or less.
[0021] MgO improves the chemical stability of glass. However, if the content exceeds 5%, the devitrification resistance of the glass decreases, the cutoff ability of the glass decreases, and the near-infrared transmittance also decreases. Therefore, the MgO content is limited to 5% or less, preferably 3% or less, and more preferably 2% or less.
[0022] CaO improves the stability and devitrification resistance of the glass and reduces the high-temperature viscosity. If its content exceeds 5%, it inhibits the formation of the coloring substance structure and reduces the cut-off performance of the glass. Therefore, the CaO content is limited to 5% or less, preferably 3% or less, and more preferably 2% or less.
[0023] Appropriate amounts of BaO and SrO in glass can improve the chemical stability, hardness, and near-infrared transmittance of the glass. However, if their contents exceed 10%, the glass's ability to fix coloring substances may decrease, resulting in a decrease in cutoff ability. Therefore, the contents of BaO and SrO are each limited to 10% or less, preferably 5% or less, and more preferably 2% or less.
[0024] F in glass improves the meltability of the glass, suppresses the volatilization of coloring substances during the supply stage, and improves the cut-off performance of the glass. However, if the F content exceeds 5%, the high-temperature viscosity of the glass drops sharply and coloring substances volatilize excessively. Therefore, from the viewpoint of environmental protection, the F content is 5% or less, preferably 3% or less, more preferably 1% or less, and even more preferably 0%.
[0025] S can form coloring substances with Sb, Ag, Ce, Sn, Te, V, Fe, etc. in the glass of the present invention, causing the glass to exhibit cutoff absorption in the wavelength range before 500 to 720 nm. If the S content exceeds 8%, the glass is prone to devitrification, resulting in a rapid decrease in near-infrared transmittance. If the S content is less than 0.2%, the cutoff performance of the glass will not satisfy the design requirements. Therefore, the S content is limited to 0.2 to 8%, preferably 0.5 to 7%, and more preferably 1 to 6%. The S content in the present invention refers to the content of sulfur that has been completely converted to elemental sulfur among all sulfur-containing substances in the glass. In the present invention, S can be introduced by elemental sulfur and / or a sulfur-containing compound.
[0026] Se can form coloring substances with Sb, Ag, Ce, Sn, Te, V, Fe, etc. in the glass of the present invention, resulting in cutoff absorption in the wavelength range before 650 to 1200 nm, making the glass capable of achieving better cutoff performance than simple S or sulfides. If the Se content exceeds 5%, the glass is prone to devitrification, resulting in a rapid decrease in near-infrared transmittance. Therefore, if the cutoff performance satisfies the design requirements, the Se content in the present glass system is 5% or less, preferably 4% or less, more preferably 3% or less, and even more preferably 0%. The Se content in the present invention refers to the content of selenium that has been completely converted to elemental selenium among all selenium-containing substances in the glass. In the present invention, Se can be introduced by elemental selenium and / or a selenium-containing compound.
[0027] Through extensive experimental research, the present inventors have found that in some implementations, when the Se / S value exceeds 1.5, the transmittance of the glass in the 800-1000 nm range does not meet the design requirements. Therefore, the Se / S value is preferably 1.5 or less, more preferably 1.3 or less, even more preferably 1.0 or less, and even more preferably 0.5 or less.
[0028] One or more of the components in the glass of the present invention, such as Sb, Ag, Ce, Sn, Te, V, and Fe, can form colored compounds with S and / or Se. If the total content of Sb+Ag+Ce+Sn+Te+V+Fe exceeds 10%, the glass is prone to devitrification, resulting in a rapid decrease in near-infrared transmittance. If the total content of Sb+Ag+Ce+Sn+Te+V+Fe is less than 0.5%, colored substances are unlikely to be produced in the glass, and the designed cutoff performance cannot be achieved. Therefore, the content of Sb+Ag+Ce+Sn+Te+V+Fe is 0.5 to 10%, preferably 0.8 to 9%, and more preferably 0.9 to 8%. In the present invention, the content of Sb+Ag+Ce+Sn+Te+V+Fe refers to the total content of Sb in Sb-containing substances, Ag in Ag-containing substances, Ce in Ce-containing substances, Sn in Sn-containing substances, Te in Te-containing substances, V in V-containing substances, and Fe completely converted to elements in Fe-containing substances in the glass. Sb, Ag, Ce, Sn, Te, V, and Fe may be introduced as oxides, sulfides, selenides, fluorides, and / or elemental and / or compound salts and / or hydroxides. In some implementations of the present invention, Sn and / or Te are preferably not included.
[0029] In some implementations of the present invention, when (Sb+Ag+Ce+Sn+Te+V+Fe) / (S+Se) is less than 0.1, the near-infrared transmittance of the glass is significantly reduced.When (Sb+Ag+Ce+Sn+Te+V+Fe) / (S+Se) is greater than 25.0, the cutoff performance of the glass is significantly reduced, and the devitrification resistance of the glass is also rapidly reduced. Therefore, the value of (Sb+Ag+Ce+Sn+Te+V+Fe) / (S+Se) is preferably 0.1 to 25.0, more preferably 0.2 to 15.0, even more preferably 0.5 to 8.0, and even more preferably 1.0 to 5.0.
[0030] In some implementations of the present invention, when Sb, Ag, Ce, Sn, Te, V, and Fe form coloring substances with anions in the glass, they have a synergistic effect; if the value of (Ag+Ce+Sn+Te+V+Fe) / Sb exceeds 3.0, the near-infrared transmittance of the glass is significantly reduced. Therefore, the value of (Ag+Ce+Sn+Te+V+Fe) / Sb is preferably 3.0 or less, more preferably 2.0 or less, even more preferably 1.0 or less, and even more preferably 0.8 or less.
[0031] In some implementations of the present invention, the glass of the present invention can further contain one or more of CuO, TiO2, and P2O5 to promote the formation of coloring substances. However, if the total content of CuO, TiO2, and P2O5 (CuO + TiO2 + P2O5) exceeds 0.5%, the glass is particularly susceptible to devitrification, the structure of the coloring substances changes to a negative polarity, and the near-infrared transmittance is likely to decrease sharply. Therefore, the content of CuO + TiO2 + P2O5 is 0.5% or less. On the other hand, if the content of CuO + TiO2 + P2O5 is less than 0.0001%, the coloring substances can only be formed in impurity defects in the glass, resulting in problems such as poor cutoff performance and poor color uniformity. Therefore, the content of CuO + TiO2 + P2O5 is preferably 0.0001 to 0.5%, more preferably 0.0001 to 0.4%, and even more preferably 0.0001 to 0.3%. The contents of CuO, TiO2 and P2O5 in the present invention are not included in 100 wt% which is the content of all components other than CuO, TiO2 and P2O5 described in the present invention.
[0032] <Unnecessary ingredients> Due to environmental considerations, the glass of the present invention does not contain Cd, As, or Pb.
