Appl. No.:

10/222466

Inventors:

Robert James Fleming - Saint Paul MN, US
Clark Ivan Bright - Tucson AZ, US
Christopher Stewart Lyons - Saint Paul MN, US

Assignee:

3M Innovative Properties Company - St. Paul MN

International Classification:

B32B015/08
B32B031/00
C08J007/04
G02C007/00

US Classification:

428457, 428461, 428463, 427487, 427488, 427509, 156 99, 156229

Abstract:

A film contains first and second metal or metal alloy layers separated by a crosslinked polymeric spacing layer whose thicknesses are such that the film is extensible visible light-transmissive and infrared reflective. The film can be joined or laminated into glazing (especially non-planar vehicular safety glazing) with reduced likelihood that the metal or metal alloy layers will be damaged or distorted.

US Classification:

428463, 219203, 296 841, 359360, 428437, 428442

Abstract:

An electrically conductive film contains electrically connected first and second visible light-transmissive metal or metal alloy layers separated by a visible light-transmissive crosslinked polymeric layer. The film can be joined or laminated into glazing (especially non-planar vehicular safety glazing) with reduced likelihood that the metal or metal alloy layers will be damaged or distorted. The film also can transparently shield a device that can cause or is sensitive to electromagnetic interference with reduced likelihood that the metal or metal alloy layers will fracture.

Abstract:

A barrier film including a substrate; a base polymer layer adjacent to the substrate; an oxide layer adjacent to the base polymer layer; a adhesion-modifying layer adjacent to the oxide layer; and a top coat polymer layer adjacent to the adhesion-modifying layer. An optional inorganic layer can be applied over the top coat polymer layer. The inclusion of a adhesion-modifying layer provides for enhanced resistance to moisture and improved peel strength adhesion of the top coat polymer layer to the underlying barrier stack layers.
