Abstract: Safety or impact resistant laminates are disclosed containing a plurality of laminae and at least on composite interlayer said composite interposed between and bonding any two of the laminae and containing one or more thermoplastic sheets from about 1 to about 30 mils in combined thickness bonded one to another and on each external face by a contact or pressure sensitive adhesive layer.

Abstract: This invention concerns an asymmetric impact resistant laminate having at least four lamina bonded by a plurality of adhesive interlayers and alternating in composition between glass and polycarbonate from a front impact receiving lamina of glass to a back spall resistant and controlled thickness lamina of polycarbonate.

Abstract: Safety or impact resistant laminates which avoid the application of heat and excessive pressure in their construction comprising a plurality of laminae, at least one interlayer interposed between any two of the laminae, and a sufficient number of adhesive layers, at least one a contact or pressure sensitive adhesive, to bond all the laminae and interlayers.

Abstract: The present invention provides an improved penetration resistant laminate comprising: a plurality of internal and forward penetration resistant thermoplastic resinous laminae of from about 100 mils to about 250 mils in thickness; a back polycarbonate lamina opposite the direction of impact or penetration from about 30 to about 220 mils in thickness; a plurality of compatible adhesive interlayers to bond the laminae; and an internal lamina of glass from about 100 mils to about 250 mils in thickness removed from said back polycarbonate lamina by at least one interposed thermoplastic resinous lamina.

Abstract: A method of accelerating tests for the delayed failure of coatings and coated substrates caused by degradation is provided wherein the coated substrate is subjected to a controlled level of strain during testing.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and primer composition to increase the adherence of a polydiorganosiloxane-polycarbonate block copolymer lamina or layer to adjoining thermoplastic laminae or layers in a consolidated laminate or composite.
