The present invention relates to an ionomer resin, comprising a (meth)acrylic acid unit (A), a neutralized (meth)acrylic acid unit (B) and an ethylene unit (C), wherein a total content of the unit (A) and the unit (B) is 6 to 10% by mole based on all monomer units constituting the ionomer resin, and the content of a transition metal in the ionomer resin is 0.01 to 100 mg/kg.

A laminated pane includes first and second panes, a layer stack arranged therebetween including a first thermoplastic intermediate layer, a separating layer, a photopolymer layer with at least one holographic element, a carrier layer, and a second thermoplastic intermediate layer, wherein the photopolymer layer has a thickness of 5 μm to 50 μm, the carrier layer contains polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene (PE), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), polyamide (PA), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and/or cellulose triacetate (TAC) and has a thickness of 20 μm to 100 μm, wherein the carrier layer is arranged directly adjacent the photopolymer layer, and the separating layer contains polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and/or polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and has a thickness of 10 μm to 300 μm.

An apparatus for finishing a cut edge of a glass laminate includes a support including a surface and an edge, a rail disposed adjacent the support and extending substantially parallel to the edge, a carrier coupled to the rail, and a finishing tool coupled to the carrier and including an abrasive surface positioned adjacent the edge. The carrier is translatable along the rail to translate the abrasive surface relative to the edge. A method includes securing a glass laminate to a support and contacting a cut edge of the glass laminate with an abrasive surface of a finishing tool coupled to a carrier. The carrier is translated along a rail to move the abrasive surface along the cut edge of the glass laminate and transform the cut edge into a finished edge. The glass laminate can have an edge strength of at least about 100 MPa.

Laminated (and, in some cases, additionally etched) glazing units for cooperation with solar-energy systems during architectural integration thereof include an optically-transparent substrate in contact with an incident medium, on one side, and with a non-quarter-wave thin-film-stack based interference filter on another side, followed by an exit medium. Embodiments are practically applicable to conceal physical structures disposed behind them and characterized by IR-light transmittance that is enhanced (as compared with conventional glazing units based on quarter-wave thin-film-stacks and similarly utilized) to improve efficiency of a solar-energy system carrying at least a portion of such glazing unit on its front surface. Colour of reflected light perceived as a function of angle is sufficiently stabilized for practical applications. In specific cases, a solar-energy system is integrated inside or with such a glazing unit.
