BIO-INSPIRED TOUGH GLASS HYBRID MATERIALS

摘要

A hybrid glass including a first layer of glass; a second layer of glass; a first heterogeneous interlayer disposed between the first layer of glass and the second layer of glass; wherein the first heterogeneous interlayer comprises at least a first and a second phase, wherein the first phase has a measured value of a property greater than that of the second phase, wherein the property is selected from a group consisting of Young's modulus, fracture strength, fracture toughness, storage modulus, loss modulus, elastic modulus, hardness and interfacial adhesion strength; wherein the first and second phases of the first heterogeneous interlayer form areas of contact with the first layer of glass and the second layer of glass; and wherein at least one of the first and second phases of the first heterogeneous interlayer forms an adhesive bond with the first layer of glass and the second layer of glass.
