Abstract

Laminated glass articles and methods for making the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, a laminated glass article may include a glass core layer and at least one glass cladding layer fused to the glass core layer. The at least one glass cladding layer may be phase separated into a first phase and at least one second phase having different compositions. The first phase of the at least one glass cladding layer may have an interconnected matrix. The at least one second phase of the at least one glass cladding layer may be dispersed throughout the interconnected matrix of the first phase of the at least one glass cladding layer. In some embodiments, the at least one second phase may be selectively removed from the interconnected matrix leaving a porous, interconnected matrix of the first phase.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A laminated glass article comprising:
a glass core layer; and
at least one glass cladding layer fused to the glass core layer and comprising a porous, interconnected matrix, wherein the at least one glass cladding layer is free from alkali ions.

2. The laminated glass article of claim 1 , wherein the porous, interconnected matrix of the at least one glass cladding layer is coated or filled with a secondary material.

3. The laminated glass article of claim 2 , wherein the secondary material comprises a catalytically active material.

4. The laminated glass article of claim 2 , wherein the secondary material comprises a biologically active material.

5. The laminated glass article of claim 2 , wherein the secondary material comprises a polymer material.

6. The laminated glass article of claim 5 , wherein the polymer material enhances a toughness of the laminated glass article.

7. The laminated glass article of claim 1 , wherein the at least one glass cladding layer is formed from a glass composition comprising:
from about 60 mol. % to about 66 mol. % SiO 2 ;
from about 7 mol. % to about 10 mol. % Al 2 O 3 ;
from about 14 mol. % to about 18 mol. % B 2 O 3 ;
from about 9 mol. % to about 16 mol. % alkaline earth oxide, wherein the alkaline earth oxide comprises at least CaO and the CaO is present in the glass composition in a concentration from about 3 mol. % to about 12 mol. %.

8. The laminated glass article of claim 1 , wherein the glass core layer comprises greater than or equal to 60 mol. % and less than or equal to about 73 mol. % SiO 2 .

9. The laminated glass article of claim 1 , wherein the at least one glass cladding layer is fused to the glass core layer by contacting a molten glass core composition with a molten glass cladding composition.
