Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of functional films, and in particular relates to a dimming and haze-adjusting film and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The dimming and haze-adjusting film belongs to the PDLC (polymer dispersed liquid crystal) technical solution. It is necessary to add dichroic dyes to the PDLC material to achieve both dimming and haze adjustment. At present, some monochrome azo dichroic dyes have poor weather resistance, and the contrast of anthraquinone dichroic dyes is relatively poor compared to azo. Therefore, in order to meet the customer's contrast and weather resistance requirements, azo and anthraquinone are usually mixed. The dimming and haze-adjusting film is mainly used in car skylights, and the application conditions are relatively harsh. Even if azo and anthraquinone are mixed, the weather resistance still does not meet the customer's requirements. The main reason is that the dye itself is particularly afraid of UV, and conventional dimming and haze-adjusting films will be exposed to UV during the production process, which will have a certain negative impact on the dye during the curing process. If UV curing is not used, the production efficiency is relatively low. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a dimming and haze-adjusting film that is conducive to production and has excellent weather resistance and contrast. Summary of the invention
