  • Publication number: 20100273012
    Abstract: Provided is a thermoplastic polymer composition, including a thermoplastic elastomer (A) and a polyvinyl acetal (B), wherein the thermoplastic elastomer (A) is a styrene-based thermoplastic elastomer or an olefin-based thermoplastic elastomer. Thus, a thermoplastic polymer composition is provided that has good flexibility as a thermoplastic elastomer composition, is excellent in mechanical properties and formability, and also itself has excellent adhesion to a ceramic, a metal, or a polar polymer. In addition, provided is a shaped article in which the thermoplastic polymer composition is adhered to a ceramic, a metal, or a polar polymer, in particular a shaped article adhered to a glass.

  • Publication number: 20100015400
    Abstract: An acrylic thermoplastic resin composition is obtained by melt-kneading a methacrylic resin (A) and a polyvinyl acetal resin (B) at a resin temperature of not less than 140° C. while applying shear at a shear rate of 100 sec?1 or more, and then cooling the kneaded product to not more than 120° C. In the acrylic thermoplastic resin composition, at least the methacrylic resin (A) forms a continuous phase, and among glass transition temperatures of the acrylic thermoplastic resin composition, a glass transition temperature TgA P ascribed to the methacrylic resin (A) indicates a value between a glass transition temperature (TgA) of the methacrylic resin (A) alone and a glass transition temperature (TgB) of the polyvinyl acetal resin (B) alone. A film- or sheet-like molded article is obtained by molding the resin composition. An acrylic resin composite is obtained by laying a layer of metal and/or metal oxide on at least one side of the acrylic resin molded article.

  • Publication number: 20100009172
    Abstract: A film is provided that is formed of at least one kind of a thermoplastic resin (A), selected from the group consisting of a polyvinyl acetal resin, a polyethylene vinyl acetate copolymer resin, a polyurethane resin, a polyester resin, and a polyacrylic resin, and contains microparticles of a copper compound (B) having an average particle diameter of 200 nm or less. The film is excellent in transparency, a heat-shielding property, electromagnetic wave permeability, and durability, so that it is suitable to be an interlayer film for laminated glass.
