Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to glasses having a composition made up of base glasses. The glasses have a good chemical toughenability in combination with an advantageous coefficient of thermal expansion. Owing to their composition and the production process, the homogeneity of the properties of the glasses at their surface is high compared to the bulk glass. Furthermore, the fragility of the glasses is low, so that they can be processed to produce very thin glass articles.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A glass, having a composition which is characterized by the following constituent phases: A constituent phase min. max. Albite 10 mol % 40 mol % Reedmergnerite 10 mol % 65 mol % Potassium reedmergnerite  0 mol % 32 mol % Grossular  0 mol % 10 mol % Cordierite  0 mol % 10 mol % Willemite  0 mol % 15 mol % Silicon dioxide  0 mol % 50 mol % Diboron trioxide  0 mol % 15 mol % Titanium wadeite  0 mol % 24 mol % Strontium feldspar  0 mol % 20 mol % Celsian  0 mol % 20 mol % wherein a number of degrees of angular freedom per atom is calculated according to a formula: f = ∑ i = 1 n ⁢ c i · z i · f i ∑ i = 1 n ⁢ c i · z i , ( 1 ) wherein f is the number of degrees of angular freedom per atom, c i is a mole fraction of the i-th constituent phase, z i is a number of atoms per structural unit in the i-th constituent phase, f i is a number of degrees of angular freedom per atom in the i-th constituent phase, and “n” is a number of constituent phases, such that said number of degrees of angular freedom per atom is not more than 0.29, wherein a coefficient of thermal expansion is calculated according to formulae: E pot _ = ∑ i = 1 n ⁢ ⁢ c i · ∑ j = 1 m ⁢ ⁢ z i , j · E pot , j ∑ i = 1 n ⁢
