Introduction to Flexible Glass

What is/are Flexible Glass?

Flexible Glass - Bulks (3D), thin/thick films (2D), flexible glass (2D), powders (2D), fibers (1D), and nanoparticles (NPs) (0D) are examples of possible inorganic glass architectures able to integrate smart materials and opto-electronic devices, leading to added-value products in a wide range of markets. ^[1] A hydrogen-plasma-etching-based plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) synthesis route without metal catalyst for preparing the graphene films on flexible glass is developed. ^[2] This paper reports the development of mechanically flexible reflective coatings of Cu–Al intermetallic alloy on flexible glass (FG) substrates for possible concentrated solar power application. ^[3] Up to now, metal foil, flexible glass, and plastic film have been commonly used as flexible substrates for FOLEDs. ^[4] To overcome their long-standing tradeoff between high Ue and low Ul, a series of flexible glassy poly(styrene-methyl methacrylate-methallyl alcohol) (P(St-MMA-MAA)) terpolymers with promising dielectric and physical properties, including improved tunable permittivity (3–6 range), thermal stability, and processability, are investigated and compared to the commercially available state-of-the-art polymer dielectric, i. ^[5]

Ultrathin Flexible Glass

016O2/ZrO2 coating deposited on ultrathin flexible glass using a pulsed magnetron sputtering without any substrate bias voltage and post-deposition annealing. ^[1] Ultrathin flexible glass is a material with fascinating properties. ^[2] Here we describe thermally and mechanically stable near-ultraviolet (near-UV) transparent and conducting films on ultrathin flexible glass produced from Zn/Al complex-SWCNT inks by bar coating. ^[3]

Thick Flexible Glass

The architecture of the stack includes 100-µm thick flexible glass as the front surface over the EDS film which is laminated on the solar collectors. ^[1] In this work, TCEs based on modified high-conductivity PEDOT:PSS on 100 mu m-thick flexible glass substrates are used as the anode for organic solar cells. ^[2]

Thin Flexible Glass

Graphene quantum dots decorated zinc oxide nanowires (GQDs@ZnO-NWs) were applied to enhance sensing performance of highly flexible and transparent surface acoustic wave (SAW) ultraviolet (UV) photodetectors made on ultra-thin flexible glass. ^[1] The authors have designed and tested prototype thin-film thermoelectric devices based on 100–500 nm thick layers of n-type ZnO fabricated with atomic layer deposition on different substrate materials: oxidized silicon, polyethylene naphtalate plastics, and thin flexible glass. ^[2]

flexible glass substrate

Herein, we use a copper-foam-assisted plasma-enhanced CVD approach to harness the direct formation of flexible graphene glass materials at temperatures below the softening points of various flexible glass substrates. ^[1] Stoichiometric Ni2MnGa alloy thin films prepared by DC magnetron sputtering techniques on flexible glass substrates were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray stress analyses (XSA) measurements. ^[2] In this work, TCEs based on modified high-conductivity PEDOT:PSS on 100 mu m-thick flexible glass substrates are used as the anode for organic solar cells. ^[3]

flexible glass fibre

After thorough clinical and radiographic examination, it was decided to reinforce the use of flexible glass fibre post and incorporate the same as tags to engage E chain to facilitate orthodontic tooth extrusion followed by prosthetic rehabilitation. ^[1] The technique was also able to highlight differences in performance between two different liners, pultruded glass reinforced polyester resin and a flexible glass fibre sheet, with the latter showing improved resistance. ^[2]
