Abstract

Provided is an interlayer film for laminated glass which is excellent in sound insulation property and has improved sound insulation performance not only in a coincidence region but also in a mass-dominated region. The interlayer film for laminated glass includes a sound insulating layer which is formed from a composition (A) containing at least one resin (a1) selected from a thermoplastic resin and a thermosetting resin, wherein a tan δ obtained when a dynamic viscoelasticity of a sheet, which is obtained by molding the composition (A) to have a thickness of 0.8 mm, is measured at a frequency of 0.3 Hz in a tension mode has a maximal value at a temperature T A (° C.), T A (° C.) is in a range of −50 to 50° C., and the tan δ at T A (° C.) is 2.5 or more.

Claims (29)

1. An interlayer film comprising a sound insulating layer which is formed from a composition (A) comprising:

at least one thermoplastic resin (a1); and

a compound (a2) having at least two ring structures and having a condensed ring skeleton;

wherein the thermoplastic resin (a1) is selected from the group consisting of a polyvinyl acetal, a polyvinyl carboxylate, and an olefin-vinyl carboxylate copolymer,

wherein a tan δ obtained when a dynamic viscoelasticity of a sheet, which is obtained by molding the composition (A) to have a thickness of 0.8 mm, is measured at a frequency of 0.3 Hz in a tension mode has a maximal value at a temperature T A (° C.),

T A (° C.) is in a range of −50 to 50° C., and

the tan δ at T A (° C.) is 2.5 or more.

2. The interlayer film according to claim 1 , wherein a tan δ obtained when a dynamic viscoelasticity of a sheet, which is obtained by molding the resin (a1) to have a thickness of 0.8 mm, is measured at a frequency of 0.3 Hz in a tension mode has a maximal value at a temperature T B (° C.), and

T B (° C.) is in a range of −100 to 100° C.

3. The interlayer film according to claim 1 , wherein a hydroxyl value of the resin (a1) is 300 mgKOH/g or less.

4. The interlayer film according to claim 1 , wherein a hydroxyl value of the resin (a1) is 20 mgKOH/g to 1000 mgKOH/g.

5. The interlayer film according to claim 1 , wherein the compound (a2) is a compound having at least one carbon atom bonded to four atoms which are all non-hydrogen atoms.

6. The interlayer film according to claim 5 , wherein the compound (a2) is a compound having a skeleton in which at least two ring structures are directly bonded to the carbon atom bonded to four atoms which are all non-hydrogen atoms.

7. The interlayer film according to claim 1 , wherein the compound (a2) is a compound having a fluorene skeleton.

8. The interlayer film according to claim 1 , wherein a hydroxyl value of the compound (a2) is 500 mgKOH/g, or less.

9. The interlayer film according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the compound (a2) is 5 to 1000 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the resin (a1).

10. The interlayer film according to claim 1 , wherein the composition (A) comprises X parts by mass of the compound (a2) and Y parts by mass of a plasticizer (a3) different from the compound (a2) with respect to 100 parts by mass of the resin (a1), and

in a case where X parts by mass of the compound (a2) and Y parts by mass of the plasticizer (a3) are stirred at 90° C. for 8 hours and then cooled to 23° C., the entire compound (a2) is dissolved in the plasticizer (a3).

11. The interlayer film according to claim 1 , wherein a loss modulus E″ obtained when a dynamic viscoelasticity of a sheet, which is obtained by molding the composition (A) to have a thickness of 0.8 mm, is measured at a frequency of 0.3 Hz in a tension mode has a maximal value at a temperature T C (° C.),

the protecting layer is formed from a composition (B).

13. The interlayer film according to claim 12 , wherein a tan δ obtained when a dynamic viscoelasticity of a sheet, which is obtained by molding the composition (B) to have a thickness of 0.8 mm, is measured at a frequency of 0.3 Hz in a tension mode has a maximal value at a temperature T D (° C.), and

T D −T A >0.

14. The interlayer film according to claim 12 , wherein the composition (B) comprises at least one resin (b1) selected from the group consisting of a polyvinyl acetal, an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, and an ionomer resin.

15. The interlayer film according to claim 14 , wherein the composition (B) further comprises a plasticizer (b2), and

the resin (b1) is a polyvinyl acetal having an acetalization degree of 40 to 90 mol %.

16. A laminated glass obtained by sandwiching the interlayer film according to claim 1 between two glass plates.
