▎ 摘　　要

NOVELTY - Forming a graphene coating on a glass container involves: (a) applying a graphene coating composition in liquid phase to an exterior surface of the glass container to form a precursor coating on it, where the graphene coating composition includes a physical mixture of a graphene material and a siloxane polymer, but does not include a non-silane organic monomer or polymer; and (b) curing the precursor coating to form a composite thin film of silica and graphene on the exterior surface of the glass container. USE - The process is useful for forming a graphene coating on a glass container (claimed). ADVANTAGE - The process provides a process for coating glass containers that can improve the strength of the glass containers. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a glass container which comprises: a glass substrate that defines the shape of the container and provides the container with a closed base at an axial end of the container, a body extending axially from the base and being circumferentially closed, and an open mouth at another axial end of the glass container opposite the base; and a graphene coating formed on an exterior surface of the glass substrate, where the graphene coating is a composite that includes a dispersed phase of graphene and a matrix phase of silica (SiO2) and is bonded to the exterior surface of the glass container through a set of siloxane bonds.
