Abstract

A functional sheet with protective films obtained by laminating protective sheets includes aromatic polycarbonate onto a functional layer that is a polyvinyl alcohol polarizing layer or a photocromic layer or any combination thereof and having the protective films adhere to the protective sheets. The protective films have at least two or three layers i.e., a base layer composed of a polypropylene that has a melting point higher than the glass transition temperature of an aromatic polycarbonate; an adhesive layer composed of a heat plastic polyolefin elastomer composed of a polyolefin that has a melting point from a temperature that is 15° C. lower than the glass transition temperature of the aromatic polycarbonate to a temperature that is lower than the glass transition temperature and a styrene-olefin-styrene co-poly-elastomer; and a middle layer composed of a polyolefin resin between the base layer and the adhesive layer.

Claims (20)

1. A functional sheet with protective films obtained by laminating protective sheets comprised of aromatic polycarbonate onto a functional layer that is a polyvinyl alcohol polarizing layer or a photocromic layer or any combination thereof and having the protective films adhere to the protective sheets,

wherein the protective films have at least two layers, i.e., a base layer that is composed of a polypropylene that has a melting point higher than the glass transition temperature of an aromatic polycarbonate and

an adhesive layer that is a resin composition that comprises a polyolefin that has a melting point from a temperature that is 15° C. lower than the glass transition temperature of the aromatic polycarbonate to a temperature that is lower than the glass transition temperature and a styrene-olefin-styrene co-poly-elastomer.

2. The functional sheet with protective films of claim 1 , wherein the polypropylene that is used for the base layer is a low density polypropylene and its melting point is 150-170° C. and the thickness of the base layer is 30-60 μm.

3. The functional sheet with protective films of claim 1 , wherein the polyolefin of the adhesive layer is a low density polyolefin and the melting point of the polyolefin is 135-145° C. and the thickness of the adhesive layer is 5-30 μm.

4. The functional sheet with protective films of claim 1 , wherein the protective film has a layer composed of a polyolefin resin between the base layer and the adhesive layer and the melting point of the layer composed of the polyolefin resin is lower than that of the base layer.

5. The functional sheet with protective films of claim 4 , wherein the layer composed of the polyolefin resin is a low density polyolefin and the melting point of the layer is 120-145° C., and the layer is 20-60 μm thick.

6. A method for producing polycarbonate injection molded lens comprising these steps:

laminating protective sheets comprised of aromatic polycarbonate onto a functional layer that is a polyvinyl alcohol polarizing layer or a photochromic layer or any combination thereof and having protective films adhere onto the protective sheets to obtain a functional sheet with protective films;

punching the functional sheet to form a shape of interest;

heat-curving the punched functional sheet and setting the sheet on a mold for injection molding after removing the protective films;

injecting the [molten] aromatic polycarbonate resin; and

recovering a molded product,

wherein the protective films have at least two layers, i.e., a base layer that is composed of a polypropylene that has a melting point higher than the glass transition temperature of an aromatic polycarbonate and

an adhesive layer that is a resin composition that comprises a polyolefin that has a melting point from a temperature that is 15° C. lower than the glass transition temperature of the aromatic polycarbonate to a temperature that is lower than the glass transition temperature and a styrene-olefin-styrene co-poly-elastomer.

7. The method for producing polycarbonate injection molded lens of claim 6 , wherein the heat-curving is carried out by slow deformation at a temperature that is 15-5° C. lower than the temperature of the glass transition temperature of an aromatic polycarbonate.

8. The method for producing polycarbonate injection molded lens of claim 6 , wherein the polypropylene that is used for the base layer is a low density polypropylene and its melting point is 150-170° C. and the base layer is 30-60 μm thick.

9. The method for producing polycarbonate injection molded lens of claim 6 , wherein the polyolefin of the adhesive layer is a low density polyolefin and its melting point is 135-145° C. and the adhesive layer is 5-30 μm thick.

10. The method for producing polycarbonate injection molded lens of claim 6 , wherein the protective film has a layer composed of a polyolefin resin between the base layer and the adhesive layer and the melting point of the polyolefin resin is lower than that of the base layer.

11. The method for producing polycarbonate injection molded lens of claim 6 , wherein the layer composed of a polyolefin resin is a low density polyolefin and the melting point of the polyolefin resin is 120-145° C., and the layer that is composed of a polyolefin resin is 20-60 μm thick.
