Abstract: A curved laminated glass having no natural vibration in the low frequency region of 500 Hz or lower is fitted to a vehicle body, so that the curved laminated glass is prevented from resonating with the vehicle body. A resin interlayer film that bonds two curved glass sheets to each other to allow a curved laminated glass to be obtained is, for instance, a film with a three-layer structure (sound insulation film) including polyvinyl butyral films and a polyvinyl n-octylal film interposed therebetween. The resin interlayer film to be used is a soft film having a Shore hardness of 75 degrees or less at 20° C.

Abstract: There is provided a surface treatment method of metal that can endow the surface of a metallic material with strong bonding force in a simple process regardless of the profile and the substance of the metallic material as well as a metallic material obtained by such a method. The method comprises a first step of conducting a chemical etching process accompanied by formation of a film coat on the metal surface and a second step of chemically removing the film coat formed on the metal surface in the first step. If necessary, it may further comprise a third step of forming a thin layer on the metal surface after the second step.

Abstract: A composite plated metal material having a composite coating layer with excellent adhesion and mechanical properties is produced by (1) displace deposition-plating a metal I base material with a metal II having a nobler oxidation-eduction potential than that of metal I and (2) dope-modifying the resultant metal II coating layer with a metal III-containing deposit in which metal III is different from metal II and exhibits a nobler oxidation-reduction potential than that of metal I, by using a displace deposition-plating aqueous solution containing metal III-containing compound ions.

Abstract: A glass panel has a transparent or semitransparent colored film in which fine particles of gold having an average diameter of 10 nm or less are dispersed, the colored film being formed partly or wholly on a surface of a glass panel. The colored film is produced by coating a paste containing a composite material with the fine particles of gold dispersed in a polymeric material, preferably a paste containing a material for suppressing growth of fine particles of gold, on the surface of the glass panel, and heating the glass panel to bake a colored film with the fine particles of gold dispersed therein to the glass panel.

Abstract: A sheet of ultraviolet-cutoff glass includes a primer layer, an ultraviolet-cutoff layer, and a water-repellent layer which are successively deposited on a glass sheet. The water-repellent layer is formed of a vitreous water repellent. Since the water-repellent layer doubles as an overcoat layer, it makes it unnecessary to form a overcoat layer in a separate overcoating process.
