Abstract

The invention relates to the use of polyolefins modified with one or more silanes as adhesion promoters for the production of flat glass/glass, glass/plastic, or plastic/plastic laminates, to corresponding laminates, and to displays containing the laminates according to the invention.

Claims (44)

1. A laminate comprising:

a flat glass body;

a body applied to at least one side of the flat glass body; and

an intermediate adhesion promoter layer between the flat glass body and the applied body;

wherein

the body applied to the flat glass body is glass, plastic or a mixture thereof, and

the intermediate adhesion promoter layer comprises at least one silane modified polyolefin, the polyolefin being a polyethylene-co-propylene-co-1-butene) comprising:

2 to 25% by weight ethene;

50 to 80% by weight propene; and

7 to 98% by weight of butene

wherein said polyolefin has a propylene fraction of from 50 to 80 ma % and a solubility in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature of at least 70 ma %.

2. The laminate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the flat glass body and applied body is each at most 8 mm.

3. The laminate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the intermediate adhesion promoter layer is at most 6.5 mm.

4. The laminate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the laminate further comprises one or more layers, which are present on one or both sides of the laminate.

5. The laminate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the laminate is flexible.

6. The laminate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the polyolefin is partially crystalline.

7. The laminate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said butene is 1-butene.

8. The laminate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the silane modified polyolefin is modified with a silane which is at least one silane selected from the group consisting of vinyltrimethoxysilane, vinyltriethoxysilane, vinyl-tris(2-methoxy-ethoxy-)silane, 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane, 3-methacryloxypropyltriethoxysilane, vinyldimethylethoxysilane and vinylmethyldibutoxysilane.

9. A method for the production of the laminate as claimed in claim 1 , comprising:

applying said at least one silane modified polyolefin to at least one side of the flat glass body to form the intermediate adhesion promoter layer; and then

applying the at least one body to the at least one intermediate adhesion promoter layer.

10. The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein said at least one silane modified polyolefin is applied in the form of a solution or melt.

11. The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the application of said at least one silane modified polyolefin is performed by a technique selected from the group consisting of spray application, knife application, spincoating, roller application and pressure techniques.

12. The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the at least one silane modified polyolefin is a polymer film.

13. The method as claimed in claim 9 , further comprising applying one or more layers to one or both sides of the laminate.

14. A display comprising a laminate as claimed in claim 1 .

15. The display as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the display is a UFB display, a TFT display, a TFD display, a CSTN display, a STN display, a UBC display, an LCD display, an OLED display, a plasma display and/or a touchscreen.

16. A flexible electrical module comprising at least one laminate as claimed in claim 1 .

17. A solar cell comprising the flexible electrical module as claimed in claim 16 .

18. A laminate comprising:

at least one flat plastic body of a first plastic;

a body applied to at least one side of the flat plastic body; and

an intermediate adhesion promoter layer between the flat plastic body and said body;

wherein

said body is of the same plastic or a plastic different from the first plastic of said flat plastic body, and

the intermediate adhesion promoter layer comprises at least one silane modified polyolefin, the polyolefin being a poly(ethylene-co-propylene-co-1-butene) comprising:

2 to 25% by weight ethene;

50 to 80% by weight propene; and

7 to 98% by weight of butene

wherein said polyolefin has a propylene fraction of from 50 to 80 ma % and a solubility in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature of at least 70 ma %.

19. The laminate as claimed in claim 18 , wherein said butene is 1-butene.

20. A method for the production of the laminate as claimed in claim 18 , comprising:

applying said at least one silane modified polyolefin to at least one side of the flat plastic body of a first plastic to form the intermediate adhesion promoter layer; and

then applying said body to the intermediate adhesion promoter layer.
