Abstract: Thermoplastic interlayers containing functional elements, such as quantum dots, laminates and systems incorporating the thermoplastic interlayers, and methods for the same are provided. The thermoplastic interlayer may be an extruded thermoplastic interlayer including a thermoplastic polyurethane and the functional elements disposed in the thermoplastic polyurethane. The functional elements may include quantum dots in an amount of from greater than 0 wt % to about 5 wt %. The thermoplastic interlayer may have a haze of from greater than 0% to less than or equal to 5%. The laminates may include first and second optically transparent outer sheets, and the thermoplastic interlayer interposed between the first and second optically transparent outer sheets. A laminated glazing unit is also provided and may include the laminate and a photovoltaic cell operably coupled with the laminate.

Abstract: Interlayers for use with laminates and laminates are provided that may be used in a variety of different applications, such as windows for vehicles and buildings, impact resistance devices, such as bulletproof glass and others, decorative films for windows, walls or doors, window tinting, colored or mirrored glass, window films and the like. An interlayer comprises an adhesive film having a monolithic structure comprising a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). The film comprises one or more functional elements disposed within its monolithic structure and has a thickness of at least about 0.015 inches. The interlayer is a single TPU layer that includes both adhesive and functional properties, which allows the interlayer to be attached to one or more outer transparent layers in a laminate assembly that is particularly useful in, for example, applications requiring solar control functionality, such as windows that absorb or reflect heat, IR and/or UV light and the like.

Abstract: A multilayer protective film comprising a polyvinylidene fluoride/acrylate polymer layer and one or more thermoplastic polyurethane layers is provided. The multilayer protective film may possess beneficial and desirable properties useful in protecting surfaces, such as for example, high ultraviolet resistance, optical clarity, durability, and gloss.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to compositions, laminates, films and/or composites made from polymers, such as thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), and windows incorporating the same. The films may have one or more optical layers made from materials that allow the transmission of visible light and reflect or absorb ultraviolet (UV) light. A composite having an infrared (IR) cutoff layer, and a polymer layer desirably having UV absorber may be disposed between layers of glass or artificial glass, combined with polycarbonate (PC) or polyethylene terephalate (PET) layers.

Abstract: A thermoplastic polymer film comprising a multilayer film having an interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) layer and a polymer layer is provided. The multilayer thermoplastic polymer film may possess beneficial and desirable properties useful in protecting surfaces from harmful environmental conditions or elements, such as for example, stain and scratch resistance as well as high gloss. Methods of making the multilayer film with interpenetrating polymer network are also provided.
