Laminated structures include a thin glass sheet with a thickness of less than 600 &#x3bc;m being attached to a metal sheet with an adhesive layer including a thickness of about 100 &#x3bc;m or less. These laminated structures can include planar or curved shapes. Methods of manufacturing a laminated structure are also provided including the step of attaching a glass sheet with a thickness of less than 600 &#x3bc;m to a metal sheet with an adhesive layer including a thickness of about 300 &#x3bc;m or less.

In some embodiments, a process comprises applying an adhesive layer to a substrate having a developable shape. The process further comprises initially applying a force to press a thin glass layer against the adhesive layer along a generation line. The generation line moves across the substrate to cold-form the thin glass layer into the shape of the substrate, while maintaining the application of force on areas of the substrate over which the generation line has passed. The application of force is maintained on areas of the substrate over which the generation line has passed until the adhesive cures.

Laminated structures comprise a metal sheet including a first face and a second face with a thickness of from about 0.5 mm to about 2 mm extending between the first face and the second face. The laminated structure further includes a first chemically strengthened glass sheet including a thickness of less than or equal to about 1.1 mm and a first interlayer attaching the first chemically strengthened glass sheet to the first face of the metal sheet. In further examples, methods of manufacturing a laminated structure comprise the steps of laminating with a metal sheet and a first chemically strengthened glass sheet together with an interlayer.

Example methods of manufacturing a glass mirror apparatus includes the step of providing a chemically strengthened glass sheet with a thickness of less than or equal to about 2 mm. The method further includes the step of applying a reflective layer to the second major surface of the glass sheet to provide a first glass mirror. In further examples, a glass mirror apparatus comprises a chemically strengthened glass sheet with a thickness of less than or equal to about 2 mm. A reflective layer applied to the second major surface of the glass sheet to provide a first glass mirror.

A glass laminate includes at least one chemically-strengthened glass sheets with a thickness not exceeding 2.0 mm and a polymer interlayer between the glass sheets. Flaws are created in the surface of one of the glass sheets in order to weaken the glass laminate upon an impact event on a first side of the laminate, while retaining the strength of the laminate upon impact on the opposing second side of the laminate. The opposing side of the glass sheet with the flaws or a surface of the other glass sheet may be strengthened with an acid etch treatment in order to further strengthen the laminate upon impact on the opposing second side of the laminate.

Glass laminate construction for optimized breakage performance

A laminated glass structure comprising a non-glass substrate and a glass sheet bonded to the non-glass substrate to form the laminated glass structure, wherein the laminated glass structure withstands a ball drop test wherein a 535 g stainless steel ball is dropped from a height of 0.8 m onto the laminated glass structure, with the glass sheet being impacted by the ball. The glass sheet has a thickness such that the glass sheet exhibits, without cracking, deformation to adapt to any shape change of the non-glass substrate as imparted by the ball of the ball drop test.

Strengthened laminated glass structures

Methods of manufacturing a glass pane comprise the steps of providing a glass sheet with a thickness of less than about 1.6 mm between a first major surface and a second major surface of the glass sheet. The methods include scoring the first major surface of the glass sheet to provide a boundary score line and a relief score line. In some examples, the method provides a relief score depth that is greater than a boundary score depth. In another example, the method includes the step of placing the glass sheet on a conveyor belt including a Shore A hardness of greater than or equal to 70. In further examples, methods of breaking a glass sheet with an oversized template are provided.
