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.

Abstract: Compositions, laminates, films and/or composites made from thermoplastic polymers, such as thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) are described. The films have one or more optical layers made from materials that allow the transmission of visible light and reflect or absorb UV light. An optical film is made from one or more TPU resins including a first UV absorber of the benzotriazole family or the triazin family, a light stabilizer, and a second UV absorber selected from a group consisting of benzotriazoles, benzophenones, triazin or benzylidene malonate. The second UV absorber may be present in a base resin combined with the TPU resin.

Abstract: A composition and a method for manufacturing the composition are provided that includes a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and a second component in an amount in the range of about 3% to about 60% by weight of the composition. The second component includes at least one reactive diluent, monomer, or oligomer (RDMO). The RDMO and/or the TPU may be cross-linked to form a semi-interpenetrating polymer network or an interpenetrating polymer network. The RDMO provides improved physical properties, such as rigidity, durability and strength, to the TPU. The polymer network may be bonded to other layers for certain applications, such as windows and flooring, to improve flexibility and strength, inhibit shattering and/or resist scratching and staining.
