GLASS SHEETS WITH IMPROVED EDGE QUALITY AND METHODS OF PRODUCING THE SAME

Abstract:

A method of manufacturing and treating a glass article wherein the treatment of the article includes directing a flow of plasma, such as a flow of plasma comprising an atmospheric pressure plasma jet, toward an edge surface of the article. Such treatment can reduce a density of particles on an edge surface of the article. Such treatment can also increase the edge strength of the article.
