Project Description
Today's architecture is characterized by the desire to build very transparent as well as unique. This trend is particularly evident in the living and working environment, where glass partitions in the form of non-load-bearing interior walls or screen-like room dividers in combination with a wide variety of glass decors offer a wide range of design freedom. The glass is typically clamped linear or punctual or held in place with fixings through drilled holes. However, these fixings have little aesthetic value, which is why bonded glass partitions are coming into focus. Transparent adhesives have a much higher market value than the predominantly black silicone adhesives commonly available on the market.
The aim of the project is to develop a bonded glass partition that meets the demands for maximum transparency, modern performance and the most economical production. This glass partition shall consist of glass segments which are joined together as transparently as possible using a new joining technology. For this purpose, a transparent adhesive system must be developed that can be cured quickly by applying heat locally to the bonded joint. By means of induction technology and a novel joining technology, heating at high rates will be realized directly in the adhesive joint, independently of ambient and substrate temperatures. The planned developments within the research project ensure that no restrictions on the load transfer of the bonded joint and its durability occur.
