Abstract:
A multi-layer antireflection coating is formed to include successive layers of a medium refractive index material, a high refractive index material, and a low refractive index material. The medium refractive index layer is hydrogenated in order to tailor the refractive index of the material to below 1.99 and to increase clarity in transmission. Preferably, the hydrogen atomic concentration is at least 7 percent, more preferably exceeds 9 percent, and most preferably exceeds 18 percent. The three layers combine to form a three-layer antireflection coating, but the hydrogenation may be used in antireflection coatings having a greater or lesser number of layers.
Abstract:
In the present invention, there is disclosed a laminated structure intended for use in laminated glass comprising a plastic sheet (20) with a thickness of 0.013 do 0.38 mm and carrying an energy reflective coating (22). Said plastic sheet (20) is further provided with an integrated adhesive thermoplastic layer (18) for adhering the layered product to a surface of a glass sheet wherein said thermoplastic adhesive layer (18) thickness ranges within 0.013 do 0.076 mm. There is further suggested a composite containing the above-indicated laminated structure and at least two glass sheets. One glass sheet (12) is adhered to the laminated structure by means of a thermoplastic adhesive layer (18) forming a part of the laminated structure and being 0.013 to 0.076 mm thick, and the second glass sheet (26) is adhered from the laminated structure opposite side by means of an intermediate adhesive layer (24). Disclosed is also a method for forming the above-described composite comprising: obtaining a 0.013 mm to 0.38 mm thick sheet (20) of flexible plastic having a top surface carrying an energy-reflective coating (22) adhered to said top surface; applying a layer of a solution comprising poly(vinylbutyral) in solvent to the energy-reflective coating (22), removing solvent from the layer of solution forming thus a thermoplastic adhesive layer (18).
Abstract:
The defect known as "applesauce" is eliminated from laminated glass structures which include an intermediate plastic film carrying an energy reflective layer by adhering this film to one of the glass sheets of the laminate with an adhesive layer which is less than 5 mils (0.127 mm) thick.
Abstract:
The defect known as "applesauce" is eliminated from laminated glass structures (10) which include an intermediate plastic film (20) carrying an energy reflective layer (22) by adhering this film to one of the glass sheets (14, 26) of the laminate with an adhesive layer (18) which is less than 5 mils (0.127 mm) thick.
Abstract:
A solar screening, thermally insulating, glare reducing, anti-reflecting coating (24) is formed of a two-layer stack on a substrate (12), with the first layer (22) being formed of titanium nitride and the second layer (26) being formed of a dielectric material having a high refractive index. The first layer is an absorbing layer and the dielectric layer has a refractive index in the range of 1.73 to 2.6. In the preferred embodiment, the dielectric layer is silicon nitride. Also in the preferred embodiment, a thin adhesive primer layer (20) is located between the substrate and the multipurpose window coating, while a lubricating layer (28) is formed on the dielectric layer.

In use, the medium refractive index layer is closest to the substrate (12) for which antireflection is desired. Preferably, the medium refractive index layer is formed of an indium oxide, a tin oxide or a zinc oxide, or an oxide of an alloy in which indium, tin or zinc is a major constituent.
