A polyvinyl acetal poly(vinyl acetal), such as polyvinyl butyral, resin formulation, a method of extruding poly(vinyl acetal) resins, and related materials and products that provide for monolithic poly(vinyl acetal) sheets and glass panes having high Tg of at least 50 C. and high modulus at acceptable rates as indicated by their high melt flow index. This is made possible by a reduction in the amount of plasticizer while using a low molecular weight resin not to exceed 160,000 to obtain a thermoplastic resin having a high melt flow index and high Tg. The articles made with these monolithic interlayer sheets can be used in applications that require good modulus at outdoor temperatures.

The present disclosure provides a composite film, a producing method of the composite film, a T-die structure for producing such composite film, and the application of the composite film in curtains and composite fabrics. The composite film includes light-reflective resin regions and a light-absorptive resin region, the light-absorptive resin region is located between the light-reflective resin regions such that they are formed into an integrated composite structure. The integrated composite structure is formed by one-time extrusion molding. The composite film of the present disclosure has advantages such as a thin film thickness, high strength and a good shading effect. The fabric and the shading curtain made of the composite film have the characteristics of being highly shading, lightweight and durable, easy to be produced and the like.

Provided is a method capable of producing a retardation film suppressed in biaxiality, having a small Nz coefficient, and having a slow axis in an oblique direction with high production efficiency. The production method for a retardation film of the present invention includes: holding left and right side edge portions of a film to be stretched with left and right variable pitch-type clips configured to have clip pitches changing in a longitudinal direction, respectively; preheating the film; reducing, under a state in which a position at which the clip pitch of the clips on one side out of the left and right clips starts to reduce and a position at which the clip pitch of the clips on another side starts to reduce are set to different positions in the longitudinal direction, the clip pitch of each of the clips to a predetermined pitch to subject the film to oblique stretching; and releasing the clips holding the film.

The present invention provides a carbon-fiber-reinforced composite that can reduce the curing time and achieve high mechanical strength while reducing resin bleeding, and a method for producing a carbon-fiber-reinforced composite. Provided is a carbon-fiber-reinforced composite containing: carbon fibers, an epoxy resin, a curing agent, and a thermoplastic resin, wherein a mixture of the epoxy resin and the thermoplastic resin has a ratio of viscosity at 30 C. to viscosity at 90 C. (viscosity at 30 C./viscosity at 90 C.) of less than 100.

A PVB film for HUD, a forming mold and a forming method thereof are presented. The accuracy error of HUD imaging achieved by the PVB film for HUD is 0.1 mrad. The forming mold includes an upper mold and a lower mold, the two of which can form an enclosed mold cavity when clamped together, wherein protective films are disposed on inner surfaces of the upper mold and the lower mold, respectively, for supporting PVB material and preventing the PVB material from bonding with the upper mold and the lower mold, and wherein shapes of the protective films match shapes of the upper mold and the lower mold.

Multiple layer interlayers having enhanced optical and acoustic properties are provided, along with methods of making and using the same. Interlayers as described herein may include at least two outer skin layers and an inner core layer, with one of the outer skin layers having a different thickness than the other at one or more locations along the interlayer. The multi-layer interlayer may also exhibit acoustic properties and, in some cases, may have an overall wedged thickness profile. Additionally, in some aspects, interlayers and laminates formed therefrom may also provide reduced infrared energy transmission, without sacrificing acoustic and/or optical performance.
