- There is a requirement for functional coatings on glass to be heat treated for shaping or toughening. This results in the diffusion of mobile atoms, such as silver and sodium which can impact the performance of functional coatings. Pilkington (John.Ridealgh@nsg.com) identified an urgent commercial need for a detailed study of the diffusion processes in typical glazing product coatings. The paper is a successful example of international collaboration between academics and industrialists to address a significant problem in the glazing industry by combining state-of-the-art analysis and leading expertise in diffusion modelling to inform barrier layer design in real commercial coatings.
