Abstract
Glass compositions having properties that are optimized for forming ultra-thin (<0.4 mm) articles and for applications requiring ultra-thin glass. These properties include both forming-related properties such as the coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) of both the liquid and glassy state of the glass, liquidus viscosity, and those properties affecting the mechanical performance of the glass (compressive stress, depth of layer, elastic or Young'"'"'s modulus).
