Abstract: The present invention relates to a laminate structure comprising an adhesive polymeric interlayer (API) that comprises discrete zones. Such discrete zones are located at the interface of the API and the glass substrate. Generally, the discrete zones comprise two sets of discrete zones, debonding and adhesive. These zones allow for a unique combination of modified API-glass debonding, laminate toughness, and laminate durability. Various spatial patterns and densities of debonding are described, as well as the resulting material properties.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a laminate structure comprising a composite adhesive polymeric interlayer (CAPI) comprising at least two layers: (i) a submicron-thick superbonding layer and/or a top adhesive polymeric interlayer (TAPI) and (ii) a bulk adhesive polymeric interlayer (BAPI). If the TAPI is present, it comprises cohesive substantially discrete and/or continuous debonding zones. Such debonding zones are located preferably within the 10% thickness of CAPI from the interface of said CAPI and the glass substrate. These zones allow for a unique combination of modified API-glass debonding, laminate toughness, and laminate durability. Various spatial patterns and densities of debonding are described, as well as the resulting material properties.
