[0025] In this embodiment, the first and second glass plates of the laminated glass are borosilicate glass. The borosilicate glass in this embodiment refers to an oxide glass with silicon dioxide as its main component and containing boron. The boron component in the borosilicate glass is boron oxide (a general term for boron oxides such as boron trioxide (B2O3)), and the proportion of boron oxide in the glass is expressed as a conversion from B2O3. The glass composition of the borosilicate glass in the first and second glass plates will be explained later.
[0026] By using borosilicate glass for both the first and second glass plates, the laminated glass of this embodiment can suppress the increase in fuel efficiency and electrical efficiency that accompanies the increase in weight, while improving the durability of the laminated glass.
[0027] Furthermore, in the laminated glass of this embodiment, based on oxide mass%, the difference between the SiO2 content in the first glass plate and the SiO2 content in the second glass plate is 1.0% by mass or less; the difference between the Al2O3 content in the first glass plate and the Al2O3 content in the second glass plate is 1.0% by mass or less; the difference between the B2O3 content in the first glass plate and the B2O3 content in the second glass plate is 1.0% by mass or less; the difference between the MgO content in the first glass plate and the MgO content in the second glass plate is 1.0% by mass or less; the difference between the CaO content in the first glass plate and the CaO content in the second glass plate is 1.0% by mass or less; and the difference between the SrO content in the first glass plate and the SrO content in the second glass plate is 1.0% by mass or less.

Therefore, the compositional deviations between the glass plates are minimal, resulting in excellent recyclability. Furthermore, since the thermal properties of the first and second glass plates are similar, in addition to excellent bendability, their refractive indices are also similar, leading to excellent visual distinguishability of the laminated glass.
[0028] The difference between the content of each of the aforementioned glass components in the first glass plate and the content of each of the aforementioned glass components in the second glass plate is preferably 0.6% by mass or less, more preferably 0.5% by mass or less, even more preferably 0.3% by mass or less, even more preferably 0.2% by mass or less, particularly preferably 0.1% by mass or less, and most preferably 0% by mass.
[0029] Furthermore, in the laminated glass of this embodiment, by having a thickness t1 of 3.0 mm or more for the first glass plate and a thickness t2 of 1.1 mm or more for the second glass plate, high-strength laminated glass can be provided. In particular, when the laminated glass of this embodiment is used as automotive window glass, with the glass plate facing outwards as the first glass plate and the glass plate facing inwards as the second glass plate, the thickness t1 of the first glass plate facing outwards being 3.0 mm or more provides improved durability against impacts such as flying stones, and the thickness t2 of the second glass plate facing inwards being 1.1 mm or more provides improved durability against scratches caused by objects colliding with the glass on the inside of the vehicle.
[0030] The thickness t1 of the first glass plate is preferably 3.1 mm or more, more preferably 3.2 mm or more, and even more preferably 3.3 mm or more.

Furthermore, from the viewpoint of suppressing the increase in weight of the laminated glass, the thickness t2 of the second glass plate is preferably 3.0 mm or less, more preferably 2.8 mm or less, even more preferably 2.6 mm or less, even more preferably 2.4 mm or less, particularly preferably 2.2 mm or less, and most preferably 2.0 mm or less.

With t1 / t2 being 1.0 or more, when the laminated glass of this embodiment is used as automotive window glass, and the glass plate facing outwards is used as the first glass plate and the glass plate facing inwards is used as the second glass plate, the thickness t1 of the first glass plate facing outwards is not less than the thickness t2 of the second glass plate facing inwards, thus improving durability against impacts such as flying stones. Furthermore, since t1 / t2 is 1.2 or more, when the laminated glass of this embodiment is used as automotive window glass, and the glass panel facing outwards is used as the first glass panel and the glass panel facing inwards is used as the second glass panel, the thickness t1 of the first glass panel facing outwards is greater than the thickness t2 of the second glass panel facing inwards, thus improving the durability against impacts such as flying stones.
[0033] Furthermore, t1 / t2 is preferably 5.5 or less, more preferably 5.0 or less, even more preferably 4.5 or less, particularly preferably 4.0 or less, and most preferably 3.5 or less. By making t1 / t2 5.5 or less, the shape control of the laminated glass after bending and forming becomes easier.

[0041] By having a SiO2 content of 50% or more, the specific gravity of the glass can be easily reduced, and weather resistance and chemical durability can be ensured.

The Al2O3 content is more preferably 2.0% or more, further preferably 2.1% or more, even more preferably 2.2% or more, particularly preferably 2.3% or more, and most preferably 2.4% or more.

[0046] By having a B2O3 content of 5.0% or more, the optical properties of the glass can be controlled.

This improves the meltability of the glass raw materials and the formability of vehicle window glass, especially windshields.
[0051] Furthermore, by keeping the CaO content at 20% or less, the increase in glass density can be avoided, brittleness can be suppressed, and strength can be maintained. More preferably, the CaO content is 5.0% or less, further preferably 4.0% or less, particularly preferably 3.0% or less, and most preferably 2.0% or less.
[0052] SrO is a component that improves the meltability of glass raw materials.

[0054] BaO is a component that improves the meltability of glass raw materials.

[0055] Furthermore, the BaO content is preferably 20% or less. By keeping the BaO content at 20% or less, the increase in the specific gravity of the glass can be suppressed. In addition, the increase in the density of the glass can be avoided, preventing it from becoming brittle and maintaining its strength. The BaO content is more preferably 5.0% or less, further preferably 3.0% or less, particularly preferably 2.0% or less, and most preferably 1.0% or less.

[0058] By using a Li₂O content of 20% or less, devitrification or phase separation during glass manufacturing can be suppressed, making the manufacturing process easier. Furthermore, it reduces the coefficient of linear expansion, thus suppressing thermal cracking of the glass. Additionally, since lithium is expensive, it also helps to reduce raw material costs. The Li₂O content is more preferably 5.0% or less, further preferably 4.0% or less, particularly preferably 3.0% or less, and most preferably 2.0% or less.
[0059] Na₂O is a component that improves the meltability of glass. Furthermore, Na₂O readily increases Young's modulus and contributes to the coefficient of linear expansion of glass. By utilizing ion exchange between Na and K ions for chemical strengthening treatment, the strength of the glass can be improved.

[0063] By including K₂O, the viscosity of the glass decreases, thus improving the formability of vehicle window glass, especially windshields. On the other hand, compared to Li₂O or Na₂O, K₂O has the effect of increasing the coefficient of linear expansion and specific gravity; therefore, adding trace amounts of K₂O is preferable compared to Li₂O or Na₂O. When K₂O is included, its content is more preferably 0.10% or more, further preferably 0.20% or more, particularly preferably 0.30% or more, extremely preferably 0.40% or more, and most preferably 0.50% or more.

[0065] In this embodiment, SiO2 + Al2O3 + B2O3 is preferred, meaning the total content of SiO2, Al2O3, and B2O3 is 85% or more. With SiO2 + Al2O3 + B2O3 content at 85% or more, the specific gravity of the glass is reduced. Furthermore, the glass's weather resistance and weathering resistance are improved. In addition, it helps to prevent the glass's coefficient of linear expansion from becoming excessively high, thus making it suitable for use as window glass in vehicles. SiO2 + Al2O3 + B2O3 content is more preferably 87% or more, and particularly preferably 88% or more.
[0066] From the viewpoint of improving the meltability of glass raw materials and the formability of vehicle window glass, especially windshields, the SiO2+Al2O3+B2O3 content is preferably 97% or less, more preferably 95% or less, even more preferably 94% or less, even more preferably 93% or less, particularly preferably 92% or less, and most preferably 91% or less.
[0067] To impart thermal insulation, Fe2O3 may be included. The Fe2O3 content is preferably 0.010% or more and 5.0% or less. The Fe2O3 content mentioned here refers to the total iron content including FeO as an oxide of ferrous iron and Fe2O3 as an oxide of ferric iron, which is the sum of the FeO content and Fe2O3 content converted into Fe2O3.
[0068] When the Fe2O3 content is 0.010% or more, it is suitable for applications requiring thermal insulation. In this embodiment, the Fe2O3 content is preferably 0.020% or more, more preferably 0.050% or more, even more preferably 0.080% or more, even more preferably 0.10% or more, particularly preferably 0.15% or more, and most preferably 0.20% or more.
[0069] On the other hand, when the Fe2O3 content is 5.0% or less, radiative heat transfer is not hindered during manufacturing, making the raw material easy to melt.

[0070] Furthermore, the iron ions contained in the aforementioned Fe2O3, on a mass basis, preferably satisfy 0.15 ≤ [Fe 2+ ] / ([Fe 2 + ]+[Fe 3+ The transmittance of the glass plate in the 900nm–1300nm range is ≤0.80. Therefore, the transmittance of the glass plate in this range is increased. Redox([Fe 2+ ] / ([Fe2+ ]+[Fe 3+ If the redox is too low, the heat insulation of the glass plate deteriorates. On the other hand, if the redox is too high, it may be difficult for light from infrared irradiation devices such as lasers and radar to pass through, and the absorption of ultraviolet rays may be reduced.

[0077] In this embodiment, the content of R'2O, i.e., the total content of Li2O, Na2O, and K2O, is preferably 1.0% or more. It should be noted that the R'2O as a glass component is selected from at least one of Li2O, Na2O, and K2O. With the total content of R2O, i.e., the total content of Li2O, Na2O, and K2O, being 1.0% or more, the Young's modulus increases, and the viscosity of the glass decreases, improving its formability. Therefore, it is preferred for vehicle window glass, especially windshields. Furthermore, the coefficient of linear expansion can be increased within a range that prevents thermal cracking of the glass, and the strength of the glass can be improved by air-cooling strengthening treatment. The total content of R'2O, i.e., the total content of Li2O, Na2O, and K2O, is more preferably 5.0% or more, further preferably 6.0% or more, even more preferably 6.5% or more, even more preferably 7.0% or more, particularly preferably 7.5% or more, and most preferably 8.0% or more.

[0079] Furthermore, among Li₂O, Na₂O, and K₂O, Li₂O has the smallest molecular weight, which contributes to the lightweighting of glass. In addition, it significantly contributes to reducing glass viscosity and increasing Young's modulus. Therefore, Li₂O is preferred among Li₂O, Na₂O, and K₂O. Moreover, from the viewpoint of utilizing the alkali mixing effect to improve weathering resistance, suppress phase separation, and prevent devitrification, it is preferable to contain two or more alkali metal components.
[0080] In this embodiment, the total content of RO, i.e., the content of MgO, CaO, SrO, and BaO, is preferably 0.0% or more and 20% or less. It should be noted that the RO component as a glass element is selected from at least one of MgO, CaO, SrO, and BaO.

The total content of RO, i.e., the content of MgO, CaO, SrO, and BaO, is more preferably 5.0% or less, further preferably 4.0% or less, even more preferably 3.0% or less, even more preferably 2.0% or less, particularly preferably 1.5% or less, and most preferably 1.0% or less.
[0081] Furthermore, from the viewpoint of improving the formability of vehicle window glass, especially windshields, the total content of RO, namely MgO, CaO, SrO and BaO, is more preferably 0.10% or more, further preferably 0.20% or more, even more preferably 0.30% or more, particularly preferably 0.40% or more, and most preferably 0.50% or more.
[0082] The glass plate of this embodiment may contain components other than SiO2, Al2O3, B2O3, MgO, CaO, SrO, BaO, Li2O, Na2O, K2O, FeO and Fe2O3 mentioned above (hereinafter also referred to as "other components"). When such components are contained, their total content is preferably 5.0% or less.
[0083] Other components include, for example, ZrO2, Y2O3, TiO2, CeO2, Nd2O5, GaO2, GeO2, MnO2, NiO, Cr2O3, V2O5, Er2O3, Au2O3, Ag2O, CuO, CdO, MoO3, SO3, Cl, F, SnO2, Sb2O3, etc., which can be metal ions or oxides. These other components may be present in amounts below 5.0% for various purposes (e.g., clarification and coloring). When the content of other components exceeds 5.0%, the SiO2 + Al2O3 + B2O3 content may be less than 85%, increasing the glass's specific gravity and decreasing its weather resistance and efflorescence resistance. Furthermore, the R2O content may be less than 5.0%, decreasing Young's modulus and increasing the glass's viscosity. The content of other components is preferably 4.0% or less, more preferably 2.0% or less, even more preferably 1.0% or less, particularly preferably 0.50% or less, and most preferably 0.10% or less. Er₂O₃, like Se, has the effect of making glass glow red, but as a rare element, it is expensive and, from the viewpoint of reserves, unsuitable for mass production processes such as float glass, roll forming, and downdrawing, as described later. Therefore, its content is preferably less than 0.0015%, and even more preferably substantially absent. Furthermore, to prevent environmental impact, the content of As₂O₃ and PbO is preferably less than 0.0020% each, and even more preferably substantially absent.
[0084] When the glass plate of this embodiment contains NiO, the formation of NiS may cause the glass to break; therefore, its content is preferably 0.0080% or less.

When the glass plate of this embodiment contains CeO2, its content is preferably 0.010% or more, more preferably 0.020% or more, further preferably 0.040% or more, and particularly preferably 0.070% or more. CeO2 produces a solarization effect by absorbing ultraviolet light, reducing transmittance in the visible light region, and the hue of the glass may not be gray. When the glass plate of this embodiment contains CeO2, its content is preferably 0.25% or less, more preferably 0.18% or less, further preferably 0.14% or less, and particularly preferably 0.10% or less.
[0087] The glass plate in this embodiment may contain Cr2O3. Cr2O3 acts as an oxidizing agent, which can control the Fe... 2+ Amount. In the case of the glass plate in this embodiment containing Cr2O3, its content is preferably 0.0020% or more, more preferably 0.0040% or more. Since Cr2O3 colors light in the visible light region, the visible light transmittance may be reduced. In the case of the glass plate in this embodiment containing Cr2O3, its content is preferably 0.020% or less, more preferably 0.016% or less, further preferably 0.012% or less, and particularly preferably 0.0080% or less.
[0088] The glass plate of this embodiment may contain SnO2. SnO2 acts as a reducing agent, which can control the amount of FeO. When the glass plate of this embodiment contains SnO2, its content is preferably 0.010% or more, more preferably 0.040% or more, even more preferably 0.060% or more, and particularly preferably 0.080% or more.

[0091] <Air-cooled Enhancement>
[0092] From the perspective of improving strength, at least one of the first glass plate and the second glass plate is preferably air-cooled strengthened glass.
[0093] Here, air-cooling strengthening refers to the process of forming a compressive stress layer on the glass surface through thermal strengthening. Specifically, a uniformly heated glass sheet is rapidly cooled from a temperature near its softening point, creating compressive stress on the glass surface due to the temperature difference between the glass surface and its interior. This compressive stress is uniformly generated across the entire surface of the glass, forming a compressive stress layer of uniform depth. Compared to chemical strengthening, thermal strengthening is suitable for strengthening thick glass sheets.
[0094] <Chemical Enhancement>
[0095] From the viewpoint of improving strength, at least one of the first glass plate and the second glass plate is preferably chemically strengthened glass.
[0096] Here, chemical strengthening refers to the process of forming a compressive stress layer on the glass surface by exchanging alkali metal ions with small ionic radii (typically Li or Na ions) with larger ionic radii (typically Na or K ions) at temperatures below the glass transition temperature through ion exchange. Chemical strengthening can be implemented using known methods, such as ion exchange. In ion exchange, the glass plate is immersed in a treatment solution (e.g., molten potassium nitrate salt), exchanging ions with small ionic radii (e.g., Na ions) with larger ionic radii (e.g., K ions), thereby generating compressive stress on the glass surface.
[0097] The magnitude of the compressive stress on the glass surface (hereinafter also referred to as surface compressive stress CS) and the depth of the compressive stress layer formed on the glass surface, DOL, can be adjusted by the glass composition, chemical strengthening treatment time, and chemical strengthening treatment temperature, respectively.
[0098] In the case where the laminated glass of this embodiment is used as automotive window glass, and the glass panel facing outwards is used as the first glass panel and the glass panel facing inwards is used as the second glass panel, it is preferable that the first glass panel is air-cooled tempered glass and the second glass panel is chemically tempered glass. This is because: air-cooled tempered glass with a high DOL (dot-length) is more resistant to impacts from flying stones and other impact objects, and is therefore suitable as the first glass panel; in the event of a collision with an object inside the vehicle, the strength can be significantly improved by using chemically tempered glass, and is therefore suitable as the second glass panel.
[0099] <Other Features>
[0100] (Modulus of rigidity)
[0101] In this embodiment, the rigidity modulus of at least either the first glass plate or the second glass plate is preferably 23 GPa or higher. If the rigidity modulus is 23 GPa or higher, the glass is less prone to deformation when subjected to external force. More preferably, the rigidity modulus is 25 GPa or higher, and even more preferably, 27 GPa or higher.
[0102] In addition, when glass is subjected to external force, it deforms and consumes energy, thereby suppressing cracking. Therefore, the above-mentioned rigidity modulus is preferably 37 GPa or less, more preferably 35 GPa or less, even more preferably 34 GPa or less, and particularly preferably 33 GPa or less.
[0103] The aforementioned rigidity modulus can be, for example, above 23 GPa and below 37 GPa.
[0104] The rigidity modulus can be determined by ultrasonic pulse method based on JIS R 1602:1995 "Test method for elastic modulus of fine ceramics".
[0105] (Poisson's ratio)
[0106] In this embodiment, the Poisson's ratio of at least either the first glass plate or the second glass plate is preferably 0.25 or less.

The lower limit of the Poisson's ratio is not particularly limited and can be 0.10 or more.
[0107] The Poisson ratio mentioned above can be greater than 0.10 and less than 0.25.
[0108] Poisson's ratio can be determined by ultrasonic pulse method based on JIS R 1602:1995 "Test method for elastic modulus of fine ceramics".

[0110] In this embodiment, the Young's modulus of at least either the first glass plate or the second glass plate is preferably 60 GPa or more, more preferably 63 GPa or more, even more preferably 65 GPa or more, particularly preferably 67 GPa or more, and most preferably 70 GPa or more. With a Young's modulus within the above range, the glass exhibits high rigidity, making it more suitable for vehicle window glass and the like.
[0111] On the other hand, when the Young's modulus is too high, the glass is not easily deformable, and therefore may not be able to absorb the energy of a flying stone impact, resulting in glass breakage. Therefore, the Young's modulus is preferably 85 GPa or less, more preferably 83 GPa or less, further preferably 80 GPa or less, particularly preferably 79 GPa or less, and most preferably 78 GPa or less.
[0112] The aforementioned Young's modulus can be, for example, above 60 GPa and below 85 GPa.

[0125] In this embodiment, the average coefficient of linear expansion of at least either the first glass plate or the second glass plate at 50°C to 350°C is preferably 30 × 10⁻⁶. -7 / ℃ or higher. The average coefficient of linear expansion of at least one of the first glass plate and the second glass plate described in this embodiment is 30 × 10⁻⁶. -7 At temperatures above a certain temperature, in addition to facilitating air-cooling strengthening, the difference in linear expansion coefficients between the glass and black ceramics can be reduced, thus suppressing the cracking of black ceramics. To ensure that the average linear expansion coefficient is within the aforementioned range, methods can be listed such as increasing the content of B2O3, R2O, and RO in the glass composition and decreasing the content of Al2O3.

On the other hand, if the average coefficient of linear expansion of at least one of the first glass plate and the second glass plate in this embodiment is too large, thermal stress caused by the temperature distribution of the glass is easily generated during the glass forming process, the slow cooling process, or the windshield forming process, which may lead to thermal cracking of the glass.
[0127] Furthermore, if the average coefficient of linear expansion of at least either the first glass plate or the second glass plate in this embodiment is too large, cracking due to thermal shock may occur when used as vehicle window glass or the like. In this embodiment, the average coefficient of linear expansion of at least either the first glass plate or the second glass plate at temperatures between 50°C and 350°C is only required to be 80 × 10⁻⁶. -7 Temperatures below 75 × 10 °C are acceptable, with 75 × 10 °C being preferred. -7 Below / ℃, more preferably 70×10 -7 Below / ℃, further preferably 68×10 -7 Below / ℃, 65×10 is particularly preferred. -7 Below / ℃, the optimal value is 63×10. -7 / ℃ below.

[0146] In this embodiment, at least either the first glass plate or the second glass plate has a reduced T value when moisture is present in the glass. 11 and T 12 This makes the bending and shaping of the glass easier. Therefore, at least either the first glass plate or the second glass plate in this embodiment preferably contains a certain amount of moisture. The moisture content in the glass can generally be expressed by a value such as the β-OH value, which is preferably 0.050 mm. -1 The above, more preferably 0.10mm -1 The above is further preferably 0.15mm. -1 The above, especially preferred, is 0.20mm. -1 The transmittance of the glass, measured by FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer), is obtained using the following formula.

[0149] T A Reference wavenumber 4000cm -1 Transmittance [%]
[0150] T B Hydroxyl absorption wavenumber 3600cm -1 Minimum transmittance in the vicinity [%)
[0151] On the other hand, excessive water content in the glass may affect its network structure and reduce its resistance to flystone. Therefore, in this embodiment, the β-OH value of at least either the first glass plate or the second glass plate is preferably 0.70 mm. -1 Hereinafter, 0.60mm is preferred. -1 Hereinafter, 0.50mm is further preferred. -1 The following is particularly preferred: 0.40mm -1 the following.
[0152] In this embodiment, at least either the first glass plate or the second glass plate described above, when the thickness is converted to 2.00 mm, uses a D65 light source as defined in JIS Z8781-4:2003. Preferably, the value is 84.0 or higher, more preferably 86.0 or higher, even more preferably 88.0 or higher, and even more preferably 90.0 or higher. Additionally, There is no specific upper limit, but it is below 100.0.
[0153] In this embodiment, at least either the first glass plate or the second glass plate described above, when the thickness is converted to 2.00 mm, uses a D65 light source as defined in JIS Z8781-4:2003.

Additionally, Preferably, it is 2.0 or less, more preferably 1.0 or less, and even more preferably 0.0 or less.
[0154] Furthermore, when converting the thickness to 2.00mm, the D65 light source is used as defined in JIS Z8781-4:2003. Preferably, the value is -5.0 or higher, more preferably -3.0 or higher, and even more preferably -1.0 or higher.

At least one of the first glass plate and the second glass plate described above in this embodiment is... , and Within the aforementioned range, its excellent design makes it suitable for use as window glass in vehicles.
[0155] Furthermore, at least one of the first glass plate and the second glass plate in this embodiment is preferably... ={( ) 2 +( ) 2} 1 / 2 The result The value is 3.5 or less, more preferably 3.0 or less, even more preferably 2.5 or less, and particularly preferably 2.0 or less. The smaller the value, the lower the saturation, and the glass appears dark gray. Additionally, There is no particular limit to the lower limit, which is usually above 0.0.
[0156] In this embodiment, at least one of the first glass plate and the second glass plate is preferably float glass formed using a known float process. In the float process, molten glass blanks are floated on molten metal such as tin, and glass with uniform thickness and width can be formed through precise temperature control. In addition, large-area glass can also be obtained.
[0157] Alternatively, at least one of the first glass plate and the second glass plate described above in this embodiment can be glass formed using a known rolling or drawing method, or the surface can be ground to produce glass with uniform thickness. Here, the drawing method is generally divided into the flow hole drawing method and the overflow drawing method (fusion method), but both are methods of continuously flowing molten glass from the forming body to form a strip of glass.
[0158] In this embodiment, the shape of at least one of the first glass plate and the second glass plate described above is not particularly limited, but the area of the main surface is preferably 250,000 mm². 2 The above, more preferably 450000mm 2 The above is further preferred to be 900000mm. 2 The above describes the process. When the area of the glass plate is within the above range, it can accommodate various vehicle models. However, when the area of the glass plate is too large, the processing of the glass plate becomes difficult, the temperature distribution during heating becomes uneven, and the dimensional accuracy after bending and forming deteriorates, increasing the difficulty of bending and forming. Therefore, in this embodiment, the area of the main surface of at least one of the first glass plate and the second glass plate is preferably 4,000,000 mm². 2 Below, 3,500,000 mm is preferred. 2 The following is a further preferred size: 3,000,000 mm. 2 the following.
[0159] In the laminated glass 10 of this embodiment, the total thickness of the first glass plate 11, the second glass plate 12, and the interlayer film 13 is preferably 4.5 mm or more. Sufficient strength can be obtained by making this total thickness 4.5 mm or more. More preferably, this total thickness is 4.8 mm or more, further preferably 5.0 mm or more, even more preferably 5.1 mm or more, particularly preferably 5.2 mm or more, and most preferably 5.3 mm or more. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of lightweighting, this total thickness is acceptable if it is 10 mm or less, preferably 9.0 mm or less, more preferably 8.0 mm or less, further preferably 7.0 mm or less, particularly preferably 6.5 mm or less, and most preferably 6.0 mm or less.
[0160] The total thickness mentioned above can be, for example, 4.5 mm or more and 10 mm or less.
[0161] It should be noted that in the laminated glass 10 of this embodiment, the thickness of the first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12 can be constant throughout the entire surface, or it can be configured as a wedge shape in which the thickness of one or both of the first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12 gradually decreases, and can be changed according to position as needed.
[0162] The first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12 can be flat or curved, with curvature on the entire surface or a portion thereof. When the first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12 are curved, they can be either unidirectional (curving only in either the up-down or left-right direction) or bidirectional (curving in both directions). When the first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12 are bidirectionally curved, the radii of curvature in the up-down and left-right directions can be the same or different. When the first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12 are curved, the radii of curvature in the up-down and / or left-right directions are preferably 1000 mm or more. The shape of the main surface of the first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12 is adapted to the window opening of the vehicle to which it is mounted.
[0163] In this embodiment, the interlayer 13 is sandwiched between the first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12. By having the interlayer 13, the laminated glass 10 of this embodiment can firmly bond the first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12, and can mitigate the impact force when the shards collide with the glass plates.
[0164] As the interlayer 13, various organic resins commonly used in laminated glass for use in vehicles can be used. As organic resins, examples include polyethylene (PE), ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), methacrylic acid resins (PMA), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), cellulose acetate (CA), diallyl phthalate resin (DAP), urea-formaldehyde resin (UP), melamine resin (MF), unsaturated polyester (UP), polyvinyl butyral (PVB), polyvinyl formal (PVF), polyvinyl alcohol (PVAL), vinyl acetate resin (PVAc), ionomer (IO), polymethylpentene (TPX), polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC), polysulfone (PSF), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), methacrylic acid-styrene copolymer resin (MS), polyarylate (PAR), polyarylsulfone (PASF), polybutadiene (BR), polyethersulfone (PESF), or polyether ether ketone (PEEK), etc. From the perspective of transparency and strong adhesion, EVA and PVB are preferred, especially PVB, which can provide sound insulation, and is therefore more preferred.
[0165] From the viewpoint of mitigating impact and providing sound insulation, the thickness of the interlayer membrane 13 is preferably 0.300 mm or more, more preferably 0.500 mm or more, and even more preferably 0.700 mm or more. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of suppressing the decrease in visible light transmittance, the thickness of the interlayer membrane 13 is preferably 1.00 mm or less, more preferably 0.900 mm or less, and even more preferably 0.800 mm or less. Additionally, the thickness of the interlayer membrane 13 is preferably in the range of 0.300 mm to 1.00 mm, and more preferably in the range of 0.700 mm to 0.800 mm.
[0166] The thickness of the intermediate film 13 can be constant across the entire surface or can be varied according to location as needed.
[0167] It should be noted that when the difference in the coefficient of linear expansion between the interlayer film 13 and the first glass plate 11 or the second glass plate 12 is large, cracking or warping may occur in the laminated glass 10 during the heating process described later, resulting in poor appearance. Therefore, it is preferable that the difference in the coefficient of linear expansion between the interlayer film 13 and the first glass plate 11 or the second glass plate 12 be as small as possible. The difference in the coefficient of linear expansion between the interlayer film 13 and the first glass plate 11 or the second glass plate 12 can be expressed as the difference between the average coefficients of linear expansion within a specified temperature range.
[0168] In particular, since the resin constituting the intermediate film 13 has a low glass transition temperature, a predetermined difference in the average coefficient of linear expansion can be set within a temperature range below the glass transition temperature of the resin material. It should be noted that the difference in the coefficient of linear expansion between the first glass plate 11 or the second glass plate 12 and the resin material can be set based on a predetermined temperature below the glass transition temperature of the resin material.
[0169] In addition, the intermediate film 13 can be an adhesive layer containing an adhesive. There are no particular restrictions on the adhesive, such as acrylic adhesives, polysiloxane adhesives, etc.
[0170] When the intermediate film 13 is an adhesive layer, no heating process is required in the bonding process of the first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12, so the possibility of the above-mentioned cracking and warping is small.
[0171] [Other layers]
[0172] The laminated glass 10 of this embodiment may have layers other than the first glass plate 11, the second glass plate 12 and the interlayer film 13 (hereinafter also referred to as "other layers") without impairing the effects of the present invention. For example, it may have coatings that impart water-repellent, hydrophilic, or anti-fog functions, or infrared reflective films.
[0173] There are no particular restrictions on the location of other layers. They can be placed on the surface of the laminated glass 10, or sandwiched between the first glass plate 11, the second glass plate 12, or the intermediate film 13. In addition, in order to conceal the upper part of the frame, wiring conductors, etc., the laminated glass 10 of this embodiment may have a black ceramic layer or the like arranged in a strip on part or all of its peripheral portion.
[0174] The method for manufacturing the laminated glass 10 of this embodiment can be used in the same way as conventionally known laminated glass. For example, by sequentially stacking a first glass plate 11, an interlayer film 13, and a second glass plate 12, and then heating and pressurizing them, a laminated glass 10 with a structure in which the first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12 are bonded together through the interlayer film 13 can be obtained.
[0175] The manufacturing method of the laminated glass 10 in this embodiment may, for example, involve heating / forming the first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12 respectively, followed by inserting an interlayer film 13 between the first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12 and then heating and pressurizing it. By performing such a process, a laminated glass 10 with a structure in which the first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12 are joined together through the interlayer film 13 can be manufactured.

[0191] The raw materials were added to a platinum crucible in the manner shown in Table 1 (unit: mass %) and melted at a temperature of 1600°C to 1700°C for 3 hours to produce molten glass. The molten glass was poured onto a carbon plate and slowly cooled. Both sides of the resulting plate-shaped glass were ground to obtain glass plates (glass 1 to glass 17).
[0192] It should be noted that glass 2 to glass 4, glass 9, glass 11, and glass 13 to glass 15 underwent air-cooling strengthening treatment.

[0206] Table 1
[0207] <Fabrication of Laminated Glass (Examples 1-14)>
[0208] Laminated glass samples 1 through 14 were manufactured according to the following procedures. Samples 1 and 2 are comparative examples, and Samples 3 through 14 are exemplary examples.
[0209] (Experimental Example 1)
[0210] As the first glass plate, glass 16 with a thickness of 2.00 mm and the composition shown in Table 1 was used. As the second glass plate, glass 17 with a thickness of 2.00 mm and the composition shown in Table 1 was used. As the interlayer, polyvinyl butyral (PVB) with a thickness of 0.78 mm was used. The first glass plate, the interlayer, and the second glass plate were sequentially stacked and pressed using an autoclave (1 MPa, 130°C, 3 hours), thereby producing the laminated glass of Test Example 1. The total thickness of the first glass plate, the second glass plate, and the interlayer of the laminated glass of Test Example 1 was 4.78 mm. It should be noted that Tables 2 and 3 show the compositional differences between the first glass plate and the second glass plate.
[0211] (Experimental Examples 2 to 14)
[0212] Except for the points shown in Tables 2 and 3, laminated glass in Manufacturing Examples 2 to 14 was manufactured in the same manner as in Test Example 1. It should be noted that Tables 2 and 3 show the compositional differences between the first and second glass plates.
[0213] [Resistance to flying stones]
[0214] The resistance of laminated glass to flying stones in each test case was evaluated. The evaluation methods and criteria are as follows.
[0215] For the laminated glass plate obtained above, the critical impact fracture velocity Vcrt is determined by the following operating steps.
[0216] <Operation Steps>
[0217] A tungsten carbide superhard alloy with a front-end curvature radius of 200 μm, an apex angle of 120°, and a weight of 1.365 g was ejected at a speed of 20 km / h or higher and collided with the surface of a first glass plate. During the collision, a high-speed camera was used to observe the crack propagation process generated during the collision with the tungsten carbide superhard alloy through a cross-section of the laminated glass. This test was conducted while varying the ejection speed. When the crack generated on the surface of the first glass plate propagated and reached the surface of the first glass plate opposite to the surface that collided with the tungsten carbide superhard alloy, it was considered to have fractured. The collision speed at this point was defined as the critical impact fracture speed, Vcrt. A critical impact fracture speed Vcrt below 30 km / h was classified as "poor" (×) for flystone resistance, and a critical impact fracture speed Vcrt above 30 km / h was classified as "good" (〇).

[0219] Table 3
[0220] In the laminated glass of Test Examples 3 to 14, which serve as embodiments, the difference between the content of each specified glass component in the first glass plate and the content of each specified glass component in the second glass plate is 1.0% by mass or less, resulting in minimal compositional deviation between the glass plates and excellent recyclability. Furthermore, in the glass of Test Examples 3 to 14, the first and second glass plates are borosilicate glass, with the thickness t1 of the first glass plate being 3.0 mm or more and the thickness t2 of the second glass plate being 1.1 mm or more, thus exhibiting excellent resistance to flystone.
[0221] On the other hand, in the laminated glass of Test Example 1, which serves as a comparative example, the difference between the content of each specified glass component in the first glass plate and the content of each specified glass component in the second glass plate is greater than 1.0% by mass, resulting in poor recyclability. Furthermore, the thickness t1 of the first glass plate in Test Example 1 is less than 3.0 mm, and the second glass plate is not borosilicate glass, thus exhibiting poor resistance to flystone.
[0222] Furthermore, the laminated glass in Test Example 2, which serves as a comparative example, also exhibits a difference of more than 1.0% by mass between the content of each specified glass component in the first glass plate and the content of each specified glass component in the second glass plate, resulting in poor recyclability.
[0223] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to specific embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
