Solution Overview

Problem

Laminated glass interlayer films face challenges in maintaining a proper adhesive force range while ensuring good moisture resistance, as existing adhesive force regulators can deteriorate moisture resistance and fail to adjust adhesive force effectively, especially in high-temperature and high-humidity environments.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating a carboxylic acid alkali metal salt or alkaline earth metal salt into the interlayer film, with specific concentration ratios and isolation rates to control the adhesive force and moisture resistance, using a thermoplastic resin, and optionally including a luminescent material to prevent coloring.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If an adhesive force regulator (carboxylic acid metal salt) is blended in the interlayer film to adjust adhesive force within a proper range, then the adhesive force is improved, but the moisture resistance is deteriorated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadhesive forceVSAvoidmoisture resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The invention changes the chemical parameters by specifying precise molar concentration ranges for alkali/alkaline earth metals (0.35-1.00 mol/m³) and controlling carboxylic acid isolation rates (≤40%). This parameter optimization allows the adhesive force regulator to function effectively while minimizing moisture resistance deterioration, resolving the contradiction between adhesive force adjustment and moisture resistance maintenance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The invention uses a composite approach by combining thermoplastic resin with specific concentrations of carboxylic acid metal salts and controlled carboxylic acid isolation. This composite material strategy enables the interlayer film to achieve both proper adhesive force and good moisture resistance simultaneously, as the synergistic composition balances the competing requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If the blending amount of the adhesive force regulator is decreased to provide good moisture resistance, then the moisture resistance is improved, but the adhesive force cannot be adjusted within a proper range

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemoisture resistanceVSAvoidadhesive force
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The invention optimizes the parameter of metal salt concentration within a specific range (0.35-1.00 mol/m³) rather than simply decreasing it. This controlled parameter change ensures that moisture resistance is maintained while the adhesive force remains within the proper range, preventing the deterioration of either property
