Abstract
Chemically strengthened glass and a method for making utilizing differential chemistry are provided. The method includes providing a substrate having a glass chemical structure. Host alkali ions are situated in the chemical structure. The substrate has a treatment-rich volume and a treatment-poor volume located as opposed to each other in the substrate. The method also includes providing an exchange medium characterized by including a composition associated with an ion exchange rate of invading alkali ions having an average ionic radius that is larger than an average ionic radius of the host alkali ions. The method also includes providing a modified exchange medium including a modified composition associated with a modified ion exchange rate of the invading alkali ions. The method also includes applying the exchange mediums and conducting ion exchange to produce the strengthened substrate.
