Abstract

High CTE glass compositions and laminated glass articles formed from the same are described. In one embodiment, a glass composition may include from about 70 mol. % to about 80 mol. % SiO 2 , from about 0 mol. % to about 8 mol. % Al 2 O 3 , and from about 3 mol. % to about 10 mol. % B 2 O 3 as glass formers. The glass composition may further include alkali oxides such as from about 0 mol. % to about 2 mol. % Na 2 O and from about 10 mol. % to about 15 mol. % K 2 O. In addition, the glass composition may include from about 5 mol. % to about 6 mol. % of alkaline earth oxide. The alkaline earth oxide may include at least one of CaO, SrO, and BaO. However, the glass composition may be substantially free from MgO. The glass composition may be used in a laminated glass article, such as a laminated glass article formed by a fusion laminate process.
