  • Ionomer resin films and laminates thereof
    Patent number: 5763062
    Abstract: The present inventions teaches an optically transparent film or sheet which is greater than or equal to 0.5 mm in thickness and includes an extrudable ionomer resin which comprises a carboxylic acid polymer and which is essentially free of amines. The ionomer resin film can be used alone or in a lamination with polycarbonate or glass. In certain embodiments, it is preferable to partially or fully neutralize the acid polymer with a metal cation.

  • Ionomer resin films and laminates thereof
    Patent number: 4906703
    Abstract: An ionomer resin, a film or sheet of the ionomer resin and laminated articles having a lamina of the ionomer resin film are provided. The ionomer resin consists of ionically crosslinked ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymer or ethylene-arcylic acid copolymer which is neutralized with a polyamine. The polyamine neutralized ionomer resin may be formed into a film or sheet which may be self-supporting or may be laminated to glass to form a safety glass.
