Patent number: 8999509Abstract: This invention relates to film composites with a single coating of hard coat material which have a significant improved adhesion together with improved weather resistance while also increasing resistance to abrasion and cracking. In one embodiment, this film composite is comprised of a transparent base sheet having on one side thereof a weather resistant hard coat comprised of: at least one multifunctional acrylate monomer or oligomer; a dual-curable resin comprising an aliphatic urethane acrylate resin having isocyanate functional groups and an aliphatic urethane acrylate having hydroxyl functional groups; an ultraviolet (UV) stabilizer; and a photoinitiator.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2012Date of Patent: April 7, 2015Assignee: CPFilms Inc.Inventors: Anthony B. Port, Scott E. Pickett, Steven A. Barth

Patent number: 7229684Abstract: Composite film structures exhibit a predetermined finished color tone comprised of a transparent film layer which exhibits a color deficiency as compared to the finished color tone, and a pigment which is visually associated with, and satisfies the color deficiency of, the film layer. Most preferably, the pigment is provided as a homogenous dispersion in a transparent color-matching layer positioned adjacent to the film layer. Thus, when the film and color-matching layers are viewed collectively as a unit, the perceived color tone will be that of the finished predetermined color tone. That is, the color-matching layer provides visually an additive effect on the perceived color of the composite film structure.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2005Date of Patent: June 12, 2007Assignee: CPFilms, Inc.Inventors: James P. Enniss, Steven A. Barth, Mary E. Lawless, Anthony B. Port, Elizabeth J. Packer

Patent number: 6720061Abstract: An optically active film composite comprising a transparent substrate and at least one layer of a block copolymer blend comprising between 30:70 to 70:30 percent by volume of each component of the copolymer, the block copolymer forming lamellar microdomains of each polymeric component, which components have different refractive indices. The thickness of the lamellae may be controlled through selection of molecular weights of the components and by the addition of compatible homopolymers.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2001Date of Patent: April 13, 2004Inventors: Anthony B. Port, John P. A. Fairclough, Anthony J. Ryan, Corrine L. O. Salou
