Provided is a laminated glass (10), including: a core material (11) including a resin sheet (12); and a first glass sheet (13a) and a second glass sheet (13b) each being laminated on respective surfaces of the core material (11) via an adhesive layer (15a) or (15b). Each of thicknesses of the first glass sheet (13a) and the second glass sheet (13b) is smaller than a thickness of the core material (11). The first glass sheet (13a) has a cover sheet (14) made of a resin laminated on an outer surface thereof via an adhesive layer (15c). With this, the laminated glass has a light weight, and its partial breakage due to collision with a flying object can be suppressed. Each of the thicknesses of the first glass sheet (13a) and the second glass sheet (13b) is preferably ⅕ or less of the thickness of the core material (11).

An entryway door is capable of withstanding direct hit hurricane loads and subsequent water surge for long periods. A door slab is formed of reaction-injected-molded aliphatic polyurethane having an outward face, and inward face, and a peripheral edge, with a window opening formed therethrough. A ballistic glass-clad polycarbonate laminate window is provided which sized larger than the window opening. The laminate window having a central light transmissive region and an outer boarder region. A primer border is applied to the outer boarder region of outward and inward faces of the laminate window. The door slab is reaction-injected-molded about the laminate window with the outer boarder region extending into and is bonded to a portion of the door slab forming the window opening. The preferred door in mounted to a structure in an outwardly opening manor with a seal entrapped between the periphery of the door and a door jam.

A glass-polymer laminate structure includes a flexible glass substrate having a thickness of no more than about 0.3 mm. A polymer layer is laminated to a surface of the flexible glass substrate having a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) that is at least about 2 times a CTE of the flexible glass substrate. The polymer layer is laminated to the surface of the flexible glass substrate after thermally expanding the polymer layer to provide the flexible glass substrate with an in-plane compressive stress of at least about 30 MPa along a thickness of the flexible glass substrate.

A composite glass pane that contains two glass panes or two polymer panes or one glass pane and one polymer pane and has at least one polymer film bonded therebetween, wherein a first type of polymer film having a first stiffness is arranged in a first, larger areal region of the composite glass pane and a second type of polymer film having a second, higher stiffness than the first polymer film is arranged in at least one second areal region.

Unidirectional ballistic glasses and methods for manufacturing the same are described herein. The unidirectional ballistic glasses, among other things, may be less susceptible to delamination resulting in greater overall life cycle and may be lighter than conventional unidirectional ballistic glasses. A unidirectional ballistic glass may include, among other things, a plurality of glass sheets that are attached to each other by one or more adhesive intermediate layers where the unidirectional ballistic glass has an exterior side and an interior side opposite from the exterior side, and the plurality of glass sheets includes an exterior glass sheet that is, among the plurality of glass sheets, nearest to or at the exterior side of the unidirectional ballistic glass, and an interior glass sheet that is, among the plurality of glass sheets, nearest to the interior side of the unidirectional ballistic glass. The unidirectional ballistic glass may further include a hydrophobic polymer layer disposed between a polycarbonate layer and the interior glass sheet, and a polyurethane layer and a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) layer that are disposed on peripheral edges of at least the interior glass sheet and the polycarbonate layer.

A laminated glazing comprising first and second sheets of glass joined together by an interlayer structure comprising at least first and second layers of adhesive interlayer material with a support sheet therebetween is disclosed. The laminated glazing is arranged such that the first layer of adhesive interlayer material is between the first sheet of glass and the support sheet, the second layer of adhesive interlayer material is between the second sheet of glass and the support sheet support material and at least a portion of the second major surface of the first sheet of glazing material faces the first major surface of the second sheet of glazing material. In the event of breakage of the first sheet of glass, the second layer of adhesive interlayer material remains attached to the support sheet thereby keeping the second glass sheet from becoming detached from the laminated glazing.

A glass-polymer laminate structure includes a flexible glass substrate having a thickness of no more than about 0.3 mm. A polymer layer is laminated to a surface of the flexible glass substrate having a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) that is at least about 2 times a CTE of the flexible glass substrate. The polymer layer is laminated to the surface of the flexible glass substrate after thermally expanding the polymer layer to provide the flexible glass substrate with an in-plane compressive stress of at least about 30 MPa along a thickness of the flexible glass substrate.
