In addition to other embodiments, a multilayered lightweight ballistic glass is provided that meets the CEN 1063 Level BR7 standard while having a weight of no greater than about 155 kilograms per square meter (kg/m.sup.2), and a total thickness of less than about 75 mm.

A multilayer glass stack for a vehicle windshield with improved durability is described. The multilayer glass stack includes an external-facing glass layer, an internal-facing glass layer, and an adhesive interlayer positioned between the external-facing and internal-facing glass layers. The external-facing glass layer may include borosilicate and/or does not include soda lime glass. Methods of manufacturing the multilayer glass stack are also described.

To provide a laminated glass in which color shading of an optical member is reduced, and a method for producing it. A laminated glass comprising a first glass plate, a second glass plate facing the first glass plate, and between the first glass plate and the second glass plate, a light control member to which a power feeder is connected, a bonding portion and a sealing member, wherein the sealing member overlaps with at least a part of the periphery of the first glass plate, in a plan view, the bonding portion is in contact with the first glass plate, the second glass plate, and a first principal surface, a second principal surface and side surfaces of the light control member, and the bonding portion contains a curable transparent resin.

A composite pane, in particular for a projection assembly, includes an outer pane, an inner pane, and a thermoplastic intermediate layer arranged between the outer and the inner pane, wherein the outer and the inner pane have in each case an outer face and an inner face, and the inner face of the outer pane and the outer face of the inner pane face one another, a first masking strip, which is arranged regionally on one of the outer faces or the inner faces of the inner or the outer pane, an electrically conductive coating, and a reflection layer, which is suitable for reflecting light, wherein the reflection layer is arranged spatially in front of the first masking strip when viewed from the inner pane toward the outer pane, wherein the first masking strip overlaps the reflection layer at least in one region.

A laminated glazing, and an associated method and use, including a first and a second glass panels laminated together by an interlayer assembly. The interlayer assembly includes a multi-layered acoustic thermoplastic interlayer. The interlayer assembly further includes a thermoplastic layer with low acoustic performances and placed between the multi-layered acoustic thermoplastic interlayer and the first or the second glass panel. The light transmission of the multi-layered acoustic thermoplastic interlayer (TLc) equals to, or is higher, than 50% of the light transmission of the thermoplastic layer (TLd).

A method of manufacturing a window includes: preparing a glass substrate laminate which includes preparing a base substrate, alternately disposing glass substrates and adhesive layers on the base substrate, and disposing a cover substrate on the glass substrates and the adhesive layers alternately disposed; and cutting the glass substrate laminate, where the adhesive layers include a potassium nitrate (KNO.sub.3) particle and an adhesive resin. This method makes it possible to effectively manufacture an ultra-thin glass substrate used for a window.

A laminated glass includes at least two glass members and at least one adhesive film disposed in a stacked manner, where the glass members and the adhesive film are alternately disposed; and decorative layers provided on surfaces of the at least two glass members facing toward the at least one adhesive film. At least two of the decorative layers independently comprise an etched texture, an optical coating layer, and a pattern layer sequentially stacked, or at least two of the decorative layers independently comprise the etched texture, the pattern layer, and the optical coating layer sequentially stacked.

A composite pane, in particular for a projection assembly, includes an outer pane, an inner pane, and a thermoplastic intermediate layer arranged between the outer and the inner pane, wherein the outer and the inner pane have in each case an outer face and an inner face, and the inner face of the outer pane and the outer face of the inner pane face one another, a first masking strip, which is arranged regionally on one of the outer faces or the inner faces of the inner or the outer pane, an electrically conductive coating, and a reflection layer, which is suitable for reflecting light, wherein the reflection layer is arranged spatially in front of the first masking strip when viewed from the inner pane toward the outer pane, wherein the first masking strip overlaps the reflection layer at least in one region.

A composition and a method for manufacturing the composition are provided that includes a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and a second component in an amount in the range of about 3% to about 60% by weight of the composition. The second component includes at least one reactive diluent, monomer, or oligomer (RDMO). The RDMO and/or the TPU may be cross-linked to form a semi-interpenetrating polymer network or an interpenetrating polymer network. The RDMO provides improved physical properties, such as rigidity, durability and strength, to the TPU. The polymer network may be bonded to other layers for certain applications, such as windows and flooring, to improve flexibility and strength, inhibit shattering and/or resist scratching and staining.

A method for manufacturing a laminated glass with an inserted film includes: forming a receiving hole in a first soft transparent plastic layer; placing the first soft transparent plastic layer on a first layer of glass; putting a soft transparent plastic sandwich containing the inserted film into the receiving hole, wherein the soft transparent plastic sandwich has a thickness equal to or smaller than a depth of the receiving hole; covering with a second layer of glass, and clamping the first layer of glass and the second layer of glass together with a tool; debubbling; and bonding with high temperature and pressure. The method is capable of inserting the film in a small area instead of in a large area of the laminated glass, so as to reduce the production cost.
