Abstract

The protection of glass against water-initiated chemical corrosion is a significant problem. Presently, organic polymers and inorganically modified polymers are being used to protect art glass. However, the service life and durability of these coatings are not entirely satisfactory. Oxide coatings would offer much greater resistance to water penetration. Water permeability through a polymer coating is some ten orders of magnitude larger than that through an oxide coating. This, coupled with a higher scratch resistance, makes oxide coatings promising candidates for the protection of stained glass. Methods to deposit an oxide on glass at relatively low temperatures include sol-gel processing and vapor deposition. This paper compares the performance of different oxide and non-oxide coatings and presents methods for the deposition of oxide coatings at low temperatures.
