Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to an interlayer film for laminated glass used to obtain laminated glass. The present invention also relates to laminated glass using the interlayer film for laminated glass. [Background technology]
[0002] Laminated glass is excellent in safety because it generates only a small amount of glass fragments even when broken by external impact. For this reason, laminated glass is widely used in automobiles, railway vehicles, aircraft, ships, buildings, etc. Laminated glass is manufactured by sandwiching an interlayer film between a pair of glass sheets.
[0003] Head-up displays (HUDs) are also known as laminated glass for use in automobiles. HUDs can display measurement information, such as speed, which is driving data for the automobile, on the windshield, allowing the driver to perceive the display as if it were projected on the windshield in front of them.
[0004] The above HUD has the problem that measurement information, etc. appears double.
[0005] In order to suppress ghosting, a wedge-shaped interlayer film is used, one end of which is thinner than the other end (for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0023] The present invention will be described in detail below.
[0024] The interlayer film for laminated glass according to the present invention (sometimes abbreviated as "interlayer film" in this specification) is used in laminated glass.
[0025] The interlayer film has a structure of two or more layers. Therefore, the interlayer film includes at least a first layer and a second layer. In the interlayer film, the first layer is disposed on the first surface side of the second layer.
[0026] The interlayer film may have a three-layer structure, a three or more layer structure, a four or more layer structure, a five or more layer structure, or a six or more layer structure. An interlayer film having a three or more layer structure includes at least a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer. In an interlayer film having a three or more layer structure, the first layer is disposed on a first surface side of the second layer, and the third layer is disposed on a second surface side of the second layer opposite to the first surface. In an interlayer film having a three or more layer structure, the first layer, the second layer, and the third layer are disposed in this order, aligned in the thickness direction of the interlayer film.
[0027] The structure of the interlayer film may differ partially. For example, the interlayer film of the present invention may have a portion having a single-layer structure and a portion having a two or more-layer structure. In the present invention, when the interlayer film has a portion having a two or more-layer structure, the interlayer film is considered to have a two or more-layer structure. The interlayer film of the present invention may have a portion having a single-layer structure and a portion having a three or more-layer structure. The interlayer film of the present invention may have a portion having a two-layer structure and a portion having a three or more-layer structure. In the present invention, when the interlayer film has a portion having a three or more-layer structure, the interlayer film is considered to have a three or more-layer structure.
[0028] The interlayer film has one end and the other end opposite the one end. The one end and the other end of the interlayer film are opposite ends of the interlayer film.
[0029] Each layer included in the interlayer film has one end and the other end opposite the one end. The one end and the other end of each layer are opposite ends of the layer. The one end of each layer is located on the one end side of the interlayer film in a direction connecting the one end and the other end of the interlayer film, and the other end of each layer is located on the other end side of the interlayer film in a direction connecting the one end and the other end of the interlayer film.
[0030] In the present invention, the thickness of the other end of the intermediate film is greater than the thickness of the one end.
[0031] In the present invention, in at least one layer included in the interlayer film, the thickness at the other end is thinner than the thickness at the one end. That is, in the interlayer film, the thickness at the other end of at least one layer is thinner than the thickness at the one end of the layer. The interlayer film has at least one layer whose thickness at the other end is thinner than the thickness at the one end.
[0032] The interlayer film according to the present invention has the above-described configuration, and therefore can maintain high sound insulation in the high frequency range while improving sound insulation in the low frequency range.
[0033] In the interlayer film according to the present invention, the natural frequency can be easily adjusted by, for example, controlling the thickness ratio of each layer included in the interlayer film, which makes it possible to improve sound insulation in the low frequency range, such as against booming noise, while maintaining high sound insulation in the high frequency range, such as against wind noise.
[0034] Furthermore, in the interlayer film according to the present invention, the occurrence of optical distortion can be suppressed by adjusting the shape of each layer.

When the degree of acetalization is equal to or less than the upper limit, the reaction time required to produce the polyvinyl acetal resin is shortened.
[0160] The degree of acetalization is determined as follows. First, the amount of ethylene groups to which hydroxyl groups are bonded and the amount of ethylene groups to which acetyl groups are bonded are subtracted from the total amount of ethylene groups in the main chain to determine the value. The obtained value is divided by the total amount of ethylene groups in the main chain to determine the molar fraction. The value expressed as a percentage of this molar fraction is the degree of acetalization.
[0161] The hydroxyl group content (hydroxyl group amount), acetalization degree (butyralization degree), and acetylation degree are preferably calculated from the results of measurements performed according to JIS K6728 "Testing Methods for Polyvinyl Butyral." However, measurements according to ASTM D1396-92 may also be used.

The second layer preferably contains heat-shielding particles. The third layer preferably contains heat-shielding particles. The heat-shielding particles are a heat-shielding material. Use of the heat-shielding particles can effectively block infrared rays (heat rays). Only one type of the heat-shielding particles may be used, or two or more types may be used in combination.

[0192] Infrared rays, which have wavelengths longer than visible light (780 nm or longer), have a smaller amount of energy than ultraviolet rays. However, infrared rays have a large thermal effect, and when infrared rays are absorbed by a substance, they are released as heat. For this reason, infrared rays are generally called heat rays. By using the above-mentioned heat-shielding particles, infrared rays (heat rays) can be effectively blocked. Heat-shielding particles refer to particles that can absorb infrared rays.

[0261] Polyvinyl acetal resin (average polymerization degree 1700, hydroxyl group content 30.5 mol%, acetylation degree 1 mol%, acetalization degree 68.5 mol%) 100 parts by weight Triethylene glycol di-2-ethylhexanoate (3GO) 40 parts by weight Tinuvin 326 in an amount to provide 0.2% by weight in the resulting first layer BHT in an amount to give 0.2% by weight in the resulting first layer
[0262] Preparation of interlayer: The resin composition for forming the first layer was extruded using an extruder to obtain an interlayer film having a single layer structure and a thickness at one end that is thicker at the other end than at the other end (an interlayer film having the shape shown in Table 1).
[0263] (Comparative Example 2) Except for changing the configuration of the interlayer film as shown in Table 1, an interlayer film having a single layer structure and a greater thickness at one end than at the other end was obtained in the same manner as in Comparative Example 1.
[0264] (Comparative Examples 3 to 9) Interlayer films having a three-layer structure (first layer / second layer / third layer) and having a thickness at one end greater than that at the other end were obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the configuration of the interlayer film was changed as shown in Tables 2 and 3. Note that the interlayer films obtained in Comparative Examples 3 to 9 do not have a layer whose thickness at the other end is thinner than that at the one end.
[0265] (Comparative Example 10) Preparation of resin composition for forming second layer: The following components were blended and thoroughly kneaded with a mixing roll to obtain a resin composition for forming the second layer.
[0266] Polyvinyl acetate (1) 100 parts by weight Plasticizer (bis(2-butoxyethyl) adipate (D931)) 80 parts by weight Tinuvin 326 in an amount to provide 0.2% by weight in the resulting second layer BHT in an amount to give 0.2% by weight in the resulting second layer
[0267] Preparation of resin compositions for forming the first layer and the third layer: The following components were blended and thoroughly kneaded with a mixing roll to obtain a resin composition for forming the first layer and the third layer.
[0268] Polyvinyl acetal resin (average polymerization degree 1700, hydroxyl group content 31 mol%, butyralization degree 68 mol%, acetylation degree 1 mol%) 100 parts by weight Plasticizer (bis(2-butoxyethyl) adipate (D931)) 35 parts by weight Metal salt M (Mg mixture) in an amount such that the Mg content in the resulting first layer and third layer is 70 ppm Tinuvin 326 in an amount of 0.2% by weight in the resulting first and third layers BHT in an amount to give 0.2% by weight in the resulting first and third layers
[0269] Preparation of interlayer: The resin composition for forming the second layer and the resin compositions for forming the first and third layers were co-extruded using a co-extruder to obtain an interlayer film having a three-layer structure (first layer / second layer / third layer) and a thickness at one end that is thicker at the other end. Note that the interlayer film obtained in Comparative Example 10 does not have a layer whose thickness at the other end is thinner than that at the one end.
[0270] (evaluation) (1) Thickness of the interlayer and the layers that make up the interlayer The thickness of the obtained interlayer film and the layers constituting the interlayer film were measured using a contact-type thickness measuring instrument "TOF-4R" (manufactured by Yamabun Denki Co., Ltd.) The thickness measurement was carried out at a film conveying speed of 2.15 mm / min to 2.25 mm / min from one end to the other over the shortest distance.
[0271] In addition, the absolute values of the following differences were calculated from the measurement results.
[0272] Absolute value of the difference between the maximum value of T1 / T and the minimum value of T1 / T Absolute value of the difference between the maximum value of T3 / T and the minimum value of T3 / T
[0273] Here, T is the thickness of the intermediate film at a predetermined position, and T1 and T3 are the thicknesses of the first layer and the third layer at the same positions as the above-mentioned predetermined position.
[0274] (2) Ten-point average roughness Rz The ratio (1) of the average thickness of the first layer to the average thickness of the interlayer film (average thickness of the first layer / average thickness of the interlayer film) and the ratio (3) of the average thickness of the third layer to the average thickness of the interlayer film (average thickness of the third layer / average thickness of the interlayer film) were calculated. The ten-point average roughness Rz of the surface of the first or third layer, whichever had the smaller thickness ratio to the interlayer film, on the side opposite the second layer was measured in accordance with JIS B0601:1994. The measuring instrument used was a "Surfcorder SE300" manufactured by Kosaka Laboratory Co., Ltd.
[0275] (3) Optical distortion (3-1) Preparation of laminated glass The resulting interlayer was sandwiched between two sheets of clear glass measuring 15 cm in length, 30 cm in width, and 2.5 mm in thickness conforming to JIS R3202:1996 to obtain a laminate. The resulting laminate was placed in a rubber bag, which was then connected to a suction vacuum. The laminate was heated to 70°C and simultaneously held under a reduced pressure of 16 kPa for 10 minutes to pre-pressure-bond the laminate. After returning to atmospheric pressure, the pre-pressure-bonded laminate was pressurized in an autoclave at 140°C and a pressure of 1300 kPa for 10 minutes. After pressing, the temperature was returned to 50°C and atmospheric pressure to obtain laminated glass.
[0276] (3-2) Measurement of optical distortion An optical distortion inspection device shown in Figures 8 and 9 was prepared. Figure 8 is a plan view that schematically shows the optical distortion inspection device used to measure the optical distortion. Figure 9 is a front view that schematically shows the optical distortion inspection device used to measure the optical distortion. Figures 10(a) and 10(b) are diagrams for explaining the processing operations in the image processing unit.
[0277] The optical distortion inspection device 41 is a device for measuring the optical distortion value of a measurement object W. The optical distortion inspection device 41 includes a light source unit 42, a slit section 43, a measurement object placement section 44, a projection surface 45, an image input section 46, an image processing section 47, a stand 48, and an evaluation section 49. In FIGS. 8 and 9, the measurement object W is placed on the measurement object placement section 44.
[0278] The light source unit 42 includes a light emitting section 421, an optical fiber 422, and an irradiation port 423. Irradiation light emitted by the light emitting section 421 passes through the optical fiber 422 and is irradiated from the irradiation port 423 toward the slit section 43. A halogen lamp ("EYEDICHRO-COOLHALOGEN (15V100W)" manufactured by Iwasaki Electric Co., Ltd.) was used as the light emitting section 421.
[0279] The stand 48 includes a stand main body 481 and an arm 482. The image input unit 46 is placed on the arm 482.
[0280] The irradiation port 423, the slit section 43, the measurement object placement section 44, and the projection surface 45 are movable in the direction of the optical axis A on the stand 48.
[0281] The slit section 43 has a slit in the center. The light emitted from the light source unit 42 passes through the slit of the slit section 43 and reaches the object W to be measured.
[0282] The irradiated light transmitted through the measurement object W is projected onto a projection surface 45. The projection surface 45 can be installed at an angle θ with respect to the optical axis A. A white sheet of paper was used as the projection surface 45.
[0283] The image input unit 46 captures an image of the projection surface 45, converts the brightness of the captured image into signals, and generates a grayscale image. A CCD camera ("XC-ST70" manufactured by Sony Corporation) was used as the image input unit.
[0284] The image processing unit 47 detects the optical distortion of the measurement object W based on the degree of variation in the grayscale of the grayscale image. The image processing unit 47 outputs the variance value of the density values between each pixel of the grayscale image. The evaluation unit 49 compares the variance value calculated by the image processing unit 47 with a variance value within a predetermined allowable range, and evaluates the optical distortion of the measurement object W.
[0285] The image processing unit 47 converts each pixel of the grayscale image into a pixel value between 0 and 255 according to the grayscale of the grayscale image. As shown in Fig. 10(a), a 400 pixel x 400 pixel area formed by connecting four points, namely, pixel coordinates (120, 40), (520, 40), (120, 440), and (520, 440), was divided into a total of 16 windows (windows W1 to W16), each of 100 pixel x 100 pixel. The 16 windows were divided without overlapping with each other.
[0286] In Figure 10(b), only one window is shown enlarged. The "variance of pixel values" was calculated for 100 pixels in the same column of one window (indicated by the dashed arrow in Figure 10(b)). The "variance of pixel values" was calculated for each of columns 1 to 100 of the window. The variance of pixel values V1 was calculated for the first column of the window. The variance of pixel values V2 was calculated for the second column of the window. Similarly, the variances of pixel values V3 to V100 were calculated. One hundred "variances of pixel values" (variances V1 to V100) are obtained per window. The average of these 100 "variances of pixel values" was taken as the "optical distortion of the window."
[0287] The "optical distortion of the window" was calculated for each of the 16 windows. The average value of the 16 "optical distortion of the window" was taken as the "optical distortion of the measurement object."
[0288] Two measurement objects were used as the measurement object W: the obtained laminated glass and a calibration laminated glass. The calibration laminated glass was obtained by placing a calibration single-layer interlayer film with a visible light transmittance of 88% between two sheets of clear float glass with a thickness of 2.5 mm. The visible light transmittance of the calibration single-layer interlayer film was measured at wavelengths of 380 nm to 780 nm in accordance with JIS R3211:1998 using a spectrophotometer (for example, the "U-4100" manufactured by Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation).
[0289] The above-mentioned calibration laminated glass was prepared using the above-mentioned calibration single-layer interlayer film in the following manner.
[0290] The above-mentioned calibration monolayer interlayer film was sandwiched between two sheets of clear glass measuring 15 cm in length, 30 cm in width, and 2.5 mm in thickness conforming to JIS R3202:1996 to obtain a laminate. The obtained laminate was placed in a rubber bag, and the rubber bag was connected to a suction vacuum. The laminate was heated to a temperature of 70°C and simultaneously held under a reduced pressure of 16 kPa for 10 minutes to pre-pressure-bond the laminate. After returning to atmospheric pressure, the pre-pressure-bonded laminate was pressurized in an autoclave at 140°C and a pressure of 1300 kPa for 10 minutes. After pressing, the conditions were returned to 50°C and atmospheric pressure to obtain the above-mentioned calibration laminated glass.
[0291] The positions of the irradiation port, slit section, measurement object placement section, projection surface, image input section, etc., the shape and size of the slit, the illuminance of the light source, the angle θ between the optical axis and the projection surface, etc. were adjusted so that the optical distortion value without the measurement object placed would be 1.30 and the optical distortion value of the calibration laminated glass would be 1.14. The state without the measurement object placed means a state where no object is placed on the measurement object placement section. The optical distortion value of the obtained laminated glass was measured using an optical distortion inspection device adjusted so that the optical distortion value without the measurement object placed would be 1.30 and the optical distortion value of the calibration laminated glass would be 1.14.
[0292] [Optical distortion criteria] ○: Optical distortion value is 1.9 or less △: Optical distortion value is over 1.9 and 3 or less ×: Optical distortion value exceeds 3
[0293] (4) Sound insulation (4-1) Preparation of laminated glass The resulting interlayer was sandwiched between two 2 mm thick clear glass sheets conforming to JIS R3202:1996 to obtain a laminate. The resulting laminate was placed in a rubber bag and degassed at a vacuum of 2.6 kPa for 20 minutes. It was then transferred to an oven in the degassed state and held at 90°C for 30 minutes for vacuum pressing to pre-bond the laminate. The pre-bonded laminate was then compressed in an autoclave for 20 minutes at 135°C and a pressure of 1.2 MPa to obtain a laminated glass measuring 950 mm long and 1500 mm wide.
[0294] (4-2) Natural frequency (sound insulation in the low frequency range) 3D geometry data of the obtained laminated glass was created using an optical 3D digitizer (Boulder Innovation Group's "FP7000") and analysis software (Spectris's "BKConnect"). The first surface of the laminated glass was divided into regions of 5 cm or less in length and 5 cm or less in width in the directions corresponding to the vertical and horizontal directions of the laminated glass in the 3D geometry data. The vertical and horizontal directions of the regions correspond to the vertical and horizontal directions of the laminated glass.
[0295] The first surface of the laminated glass has a plurality of the above-mentioned regions (regions each having a length of 5 cm or less and a width of 5 cm or less). Since the laminated glass has a length of 950 mm and a width of 1500 mm, for example, if it is divided so that each region has a length of 5 cm and a width of 5 cm, 570 regions are obtained.
[0296] An accelerometer (PCB PIEZOTRONICS "352C68") was prepared. On the first surface of the laminated glass, the vertical length of the laminated glass was L1 and the horizontal length was L2, and one of the four vertices of the first surface was designated vertex O. On the first surface of the laminated glass, accelerometers were installed at three positions: 0.3L1 vertically and 0.3L2 horizontally from the vertex O; 0.7L1 vertically and 0.5L2 horizontally from the vertex O; and 0.6L1 horizontally and 0.8L2 from the vertex O. Since the laminated glass measured 950 mm vertically and 1500 mm horizontally, accelerometers were installed at three positions: 285 mm vertically and 450 mm horizontally from the vertex O; 665 mm vertically and 750 mm horizontally from the vertex O; and 570 mm horizontally and 1200 mm from the vertex O. The laminated glass with the accelerometer installed was placed in a free-free state. Methods for placing the laminated glass with the accelerometer installed in a free-free state include suspending the laminated glass with soft rubber and placing it on a soft cushion. In this example, the laminated glass was placed in a free-free state by suspending it with soft rubber. In each of the above regions, vibration was applied with an impact hammer to the center positions in the vertical and horizontal directions of the divided regions on the first surface of the laminated glass, and the transfer function (response (m / s) to excitation (F)) was calculated. 2 ) were calculated. The natural frequencies were measured by experimental modal analysis. The obtained transfer functions were curve-fitted using the Polynomial-Z method to calculate each natural frequency Xn (Hz). n represents the order of the vibration mode. For example, X1 represents the natural frequency of the first vibration mode. For the natural frequencies X1 to X10 corresponding to the first to tenth vibration modes, a comparative example having the same wedge angle (θ) was used as a reference, and the absolute values Y1 to Y10 of the differences in the natural frequencies between the comparative example and the example were calculated. For example, the absolute value Y1 is the absolute value of the difference between the natural frequency X1 of the comparative example and the natural frequency X1 of the example.
[0297] The sound insulation in the low frequency range was judged based on the following criteria.
[0298] [Criteria for determining natural frequency (sound insulation in the low frequency range)] ○: At least one of absolute values Y1 to Y10 exceeds 2 Hz ×: All absolute values Y1 to Y10 are 2 Hz or less
[0299] (4-3) STL (sound insulation in the high frequency range) The resulting laminated glass was evaluated for STL (sound insulation in the high frequency range) in accordance with JISA1441-1. The sound pressure of the sound incident on the sample during measurement was the average sound pressure measured by five microphones installed in a reverberation chamber. The sound transmitted through the sample was measured as an average sound intensity in a semi-anechoic chamber on the sound receiving side, with the measurement plane being a distance of 130 mm from the sample surface. The sound intensity was evaluated by scanning using an intensity probe microphone. The sound insulation in the high frequency range was evaluated based on the STL values at four 1 / 3 octave band frequencies: 2500 Hz, 3150 Hz, 4000 Hz, and 5000 Hz, according to the following criteria.
[0300] [STL (high frequency sound insulation) criteria] ○: All four STL values are 32 dB or higher ×: At least one of the four STL values is less than 32 dB
