Glass Strengthening Using Epoxy Coatings

In order to elucidate mechanisms of glass strengthening by ORMOSIL polymeric coatings the effects of just the two polymeric coating components (epoxy resin and amine hardner) have been examined. Epoxy/hardner coatings are shown to increase the strength of indented soda-lime-silica glass slides by up to 300%.
