Abstract
Abstract A method is disclosed for reducing the reactivity of a glass surface by blocking reactive sites such as silanol groups at the glass surface with a molecular layer of fluorocarbon. The method involves adsorbing multivalent metal cations at the glass surface to provide anchoring sites for the chemisorption of otherwise nonreactive fluorocarbons.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
68 words
A method for treating a glass surface comprising the steps of: a. contacting the glass surface with a solution comprising multivalent metal cations capable of adsorption onto the glass surface at a temperature below the boiling point of the solution; and b. contacting the glass surface, subsequent to the adsorption of the multivalent metal cations, with a fluorocarbon capable of chemisorption by the metal cation treated glass surface.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
68 words
A method for treating a glass surface comprising the steps of: a. contacting the glass surface with a solution comprising multivalent metal cations capable of adsorption onto the glass surface at a temperature below the boiling point of the solution; and b. contacting the glass surface, subsequent to the adsorption of the multivalent metal cations, with a fluorocarbon capable of chemisorption by the metal cation treated glass surface.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
44 words
The method according to claim 1, wherein the glass surface is contacted with an aqueous solution of a salt containing multivalent cations of a metal selected from the group consisting of calcium, magnesium, barium, aluminum, strontium, chromium, copper, tin, iron, titanium, zirconium, and zinc.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
The method according to claim 2 wherein the salt is selected from the group consisting of chromic, stannic and ferric chlorides.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
14 words
The method according to claim 1 wherein the fluorocarbon is an ionic fluorocarbon surfactant.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
13 words

Claim 7
Dependent Claim
17 words
The method according to claim 5 wherein the fluorocarbon surfactant is an anionic, saturated, moderately carboxylated fluorocarbon.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
13 words
The method according to claim 5 wherein the fluorocarbon surfactant is slightly unsaturated.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
16 words
The method according to claim 7 wherein the fluorocarbon surfactant is a cationic, moderately carboxylated fluorocarbon.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
16 words
The method according to claim 7 wherein the fluorocarbon surfactant is an amphoteric, heavily carboxylated fluorocarbon.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
11 words
A glass article produced according to the method of claim 1.
