Abstract

A laminated glass, includes a glass plate, a polymer layer, and a functional device layer, wherein, the polymer layer is located between the glass plate and the functional device layer; the laminated glass further optionally includes another polymer layer, which is located at the other side of the functional device layer, opposite to the glass plate; the polymer layers each independently include polymer, which is selected from crosslinked ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, polyolefin thermoplastic elastomer, and thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer.

Claims (48)

1 . A laminated glass, comprising

a glass plate,

a polymer layer, and

a functional device layer,

wherein,

the polymer layer is located between the glass plate and the functional device layer;

the laminated glass further optionally comprises another polymer layer, which is located at the other side of the functional device layer, opposite to the glass plate;

the polymer layer and the other polymer layer each independently comprise a polymer, wherein the polymer is crosslinked ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, which has a crosslinking degree of about 50% or more.

2 . The laminated glass according to claim 1 , wherein

a molar content percentage of the vinyl acetate in the crosslinked ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer is about 5%-50%.

3 . The laminated glass according to claim 1 , wherein

the crosslinked ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer has the following structure:

wherein, m and n are each independently an integer selected from 1-30.

4 . The laminated glass according to claim 1 , wherein

the functional device layer comprises a functional module selected from the group consisting of: polymer dispersed liquid crystal, suspended particle device, electrochromic display device, guest host liquid crystal display device, lighting device, wireless communication device, electronic device, sensing device, antenna, touch control module and HMI related module.

5 . The laminated glass according to claim 1 , wherein

the polymer layer and the optional other polymer layer each independently comprise one or more layers, and the one or more layers each independently comprise polymer.

6 . The laminated glass according to claim 1 , wherein

the laminated glass further comprises another glass plate, which is located at a side of the laminated glass opposite to the glass plate and is identical or different to the glass plate.

7 . The laminated glass according to claim 6 , wherein

the laminated glass, in the following order, comprises

the glass plate,

the polymer layer,

the functional device layer,

the other polymer layer, and

the other glass plate.

8 . The laminated glass according to claim 1 , wherein

an area of the functional device layer is less than that of the polymer layer, and the functional device layer further additionally comprises a polymer such that the polymer forms a continuous or discontinuous frame in the functional device layer, thereby surrounding and containing the functional module of the functional device layer.

9 . The laminated glass according to claim 1 , wherein

the laminated glass further comprises a polymer between the glass plate and the polymer layer, and/or between another glass plate which is located at a side of the laminated glass opposite to the glass plate and the optional other polymer layer, wherein the polymer forms a continuous or discontinuous frame, thereby surrounding and containing the functional module of the functional device layer.

10 . The laminated glass according to claim 1 , wherein

the laminated glass has a thickness of about 4.5-5.5 mm; and/or

the laminated glass has a transmittance of about 70% or more.

11 . A process for preparing the laminated glass according to claim 1 , comprising the following steps:

(1) providing a glass plate, a polymer layer and a functional device layer;

(2) setting the glass plate, polymer layer and functional device layer, successively, and

(3) subjecting the set glass plate, polymer layer and functional device layer to lamination.

12 . The process according to claim 11 , wherein

a lamination temperature in step (3) is about 135° C. or lower; and/or

a lamination pressure in step (3) is about 13 bar or lower.

13 . A method comprising preparing a laminated glass with a crosslinked ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, wherein the crosslinked ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer has a crosslinking degree of about 50% or more.

14 . The laminated glass according to claim 1 , wherein the polymer is completely crosslinked.

15 . The laminated glass according to claim 2 , wherein the molar content percentage of the vinyl acetate in the crosslinked ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer is about 5%-40%.

16 . The laminated glass according to claim 3 , wherein m and n are selected from 1-20.

17 . The laminated glass according to claim 4 , wherein the functional module is a polymer dispersed liquid crystal.

18 . The laminated glass according to claim 5 , wherein the polymer layer and the optional other polymer layer each independently comprise two layers.

19 . The method according to claim 13 , wherein the crosslinked ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer has the following structure:

wherein, m and n are each independently an integer selected from 1-30.
