Thermoplastic multilayer interlayer polymer film and related glass laminate composite including same
Patent number: 8758898Abstract: A multilayer interlayer polymer film and a high clarity safety glass laminate made using the same include: (1) a core layer comprising one of an ionomer polymer material and a thermoplastic polyurethane polymer material; (2) at least one intermediate layer laminated to the core layer and comprising the other of the ionomer polymer material and the thermoplastic polyurethane polymer material; and (3) at least one skin layer laminated to the at least one intermediate layer and comprising a non-ionomer polyolefin polymer material. The multilayer interlayer polymer film provides the high clarity safety glass laminate with enhanced performance with respect to optical properties and manufacturability. In an alternative embodiment the at least one skin layer may be omitted when the intermediate layer comprises a thermoplastic polyurethane material with adequate adhesion to glass.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2011Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: Liveglass, Inc.Inventors: Michael L. Friedman, Barbara JoAnne Lang, Boris M. Friedman, Al Ansari -

Patent number: 7156201Abstract: The present invention comprises an ultrasonic resonant rod waveguide-radiator with at least three cylindrical sections, one of which is an entrance section having a planar entrance surface and another of which is an exit section having a planar exit surface, and at least two sections having a variable cross-section. The cylindrical sections and sections of variable cross-section are arranged in alternating fashion and connected to each other acoustically rigidly. The dimensions of the cylindrical sections and the sections of variable cross-section are selected so that the gain of the waveguide-radiator is significantly greater than unity and the strain created by passage of ultrasonic waves through the waveguide-radiator is minimized, increasing the operational life of the waveguide-radiator and maximizing the amount of useful energy transmitted by the waveguide-radiator.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2004Date of Patent: January 2, 2007Assignee: Advanced Ultrasonic Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Sergey L. Peshkovskiy, Michael L. Friedman, Wilton A. Hawkins

Patent number: 6998007Abstract: Disclosed is an intercrosslinked multilayer polymeric article having at least one thermoplastic polymer layer intercrosslinked by UV radiation at the interface with a core layer of a crosslinkable polymer. The selection of the thermoplastic polymer and the crosslinkable polymer is such that a coextruded composite product of these materials has poor interlayer adhesion prior to radiation treatment. However, the interfacial intercrosslinking provides superior bonding between the layers. The same UV radiation for intercrosslinking typically can also cure the crosslinkable polymer to give the multilayer article excellent structural integrity. Also disclosed is a method for preparing an intercrosslinked multilayer polymeric article.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2003Date of Patent: February 14, 2006Assignee: Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics CorporationInventors: Alexander Tukachinsky, Michael L. Friedman, Paul W. Ortiz

Publication number: 20040266933Abstract: The invention relates to plastics that comprise a polymer resin and a mineralized (i.e., de-metallized) ash as a filler. The mineralized ash-filled plastics exhibit improved rheological and physical properties, relative to plastics made using other fillers. The plastics can contain a variety of other fillers and additives. The invention further relates to methods of making and using the plastics.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2003Publication date: December 30, 2004Applicant: CertainTeed CorporationInventors: Michael L. Friedman, Deborah L. Oberst

Patent number: 6726979Abstract: Disclosed is a fire-protection and safety glazing laminate having a haze value less than 4 percent comprising (A) a plurality of high modulus layers laminated with (B) at least one fluoropolymer resin layer wherein (B) resides between (A). The high modulus layers comprise glass, polycarbonate or polyurethane. The fluoropolymer resin layer has a matte finish surface, an embossed finish surface or a combination thereof and is exposed to a corona treatment in an organic gas atmosphere. The high modulus layers are adhered to the fluoropolymer resin layer through a pressure and heat lamination.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2002Date of Patent: April 27, 2004Assignee: Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics CorporationInventors: Michael L.
