Abstract

A polyvinyl acetal resin film, having an average surface roughness Rz of at least one surface of 3.0 μm or less; a birefringence Δn of 3.0×10 −4 or less; and an average thickness of 200 μm or less.

Claims (23)

1 . A polyvinyl acetal resin film, having:

an average surface roughness Rz of at least one surface of 3.0 μm or less;

a birefringence Δn of 3.0×10 −4 or less; and

an average thickness of 200 μm or less.

2 . The polyvinyl acetal resin film according to claim 1 , wherein the polyvinyl acetal resin film has a shrinkage rate in an MD direction of 7% or less when the polyvinyl acetal resin film is heated at 110° C. for 30 minutes.

3 . The polyvinyl acetal resin film according to claim 1 , wherein the polyvinyl acetal resin film has a shrinkage rate in a TD direction of 4% or less when the polyvinyl acetal resin film is heated at 110° C. for 30 minutes.

4 . The polyvinyl acetal resin film according to claim 3 , wherein both a shrinkage rate of the polyvinyl acetal resin film in an MD direction and the shrinkage rate in the TD direction arc 4% or less when the polyvinyl acetal resin film is heated at 110° C. for 30 minutes.

5 . The polyvinyl acetal resin film according to claim 1 , wherein an amount of a plasticizer in the polyvinyl acetal resin film is from 0 to 20% by mass based on a total mass of a resin composition constituting the polyvinyl acetal resin film.

6 . The polyvinyl acetal resin film according to claim 1 , having a functional layer on at least one surface.

7 . The polyvinyl acetal resin film according to claim 6 , wherein the functional layer is a conductive layer.

8 . The polyvinyl acetal resin film according to claim 7 , wherein the conductive layer is an antenna.

9 . The polyvinyl acetal resin film according to claim 7 , wherein the conductive layer comprises multiple linear conductive materials with each line width of from 0.001 to 5 mm.

10 . The polyvinyl acetal resin film according to claim 7 , wherein the conductive layer comprises multiple linear conductive materials with each line width of from 1 to 30 μm.

11 . The polyvinyl acetal resin film according to claim 7 , wherein a conductive material constituting the conductive layer comprises silver or copper.

12 . A laminate, comprising:

the polyvinyl acetal resin film according to claim 6 between multiple transparent substrates.

13 . The laminate according to claim 12 , further comprising a plasticized polyvinyl acetal resin layer between the multiple transparent substrates.

14 . The laminate according to claim 12 , wherein the transparent substrate is glass.

15 . The laminate according to claim 14 , which is a laminated glass for a vehicle.

16 . A method of producing the polyvinyl acetal resin film according to claim 1 , the method comprising:

melt-extruding a resin composition constituting the polyvinyl acetal resin film in a condition in which a speed ratio [(V1−V3)/V1] between a speed (V1) of a cooling roll that cools a film temperature from a temperature of more than 80° C. to a temperature of 80° C. or less and a speed (V3) of a winding roll, or, when the polyvinyl acetal resin film temperature is reduced from a temperature of more than 80° C. to a temperature of 80° C. or less between rolls, a speed ratio [(V2−V3)/V2] between a speed (V2) of a roll arranged immediately before the reduction and the speed (V3) of the winding roll is in a range of 0 or more and less than 0.1.

17 . A method of producing the polyvinyl acetal resin film according claim 6 , the method comprising:

coating, printing or laminating a material constituting the functional layer on at least one surface of the polyvinyl acetal resin film.
