There is provided an interlayer film for laminated glass with which the transparency can be enhanced. The interlayer film for laminated glass according to the present invention is obtained by mixing a first film material containing a first polyvinyl acetal resin and a second film material containing a second polyvinyl acetal resin and a plasticizer, and the absolute value of the difference between the content of the hydroxyl group of the first polyvinyl acetal resin and the content of the hydroxyl group of the second polyvinyl acetal resin contained together with the plasticizer in the second film material is less than or equal to 13% by mole.

A film is described comprising a first film layer having a Tg ranging from 30° C. to 60° C. The first film layer comprises a (meth)acrylic polymer and polyvinyl acetal polymer composition. The film further comprises a second layer proximate the first film layer. The second layer is different than the first film layer. The second may be a cured (meth)acrylic polymer film or coating; a backing such as thermoplastic polymer, woven or nonwoven fabrics, metal foils, paper, foams; or a coverfilm such as a fluoropolymer.

Provided is an interlayer film for laminated glass having high Young's modulus, high flexural rigidity, and high sound insulating property. An interlayer film for laminated glass according to the present invention has a one-layer or two or more-layer structure, and includes a first layer including an ionomer resin containing polyvinyl acetal into which an acid group is introduced, or containing a (meth)acrylic resin into which an acid group is introduced, and the ionomer resin has a content of the acid group of 1.5% by mole or more and 10% by mole or less, the ionomer resin has a degree of neutralization of 10% or more and 90% or less, and the first layer has a glass transition point within a temperature range between −20° C. and 0° C. inclusive.

A particle for solid freeform fabrication having a columnar form has end surfaces and a side surface, wherein one of the end surfaces partially covers the side surface.

There is provided an interlayer film for laminated glass with which the adhesive force between the interlayer film and a laminated glass member of the laminated glass can be effectively improved. The interlayer film for laminated glass according to the present invention has one-layer structure or a two or more-layer structure, is provided with a first layer containing a thermoplastic resin, a plasticizer and a metal element as a surface layer of the interlayer film, and the first layer is a first layer having a contact angle of greater than 40.1° when measured by a sessile drop method using diiodomethane or a first layer having a contact angle of greater than 54.2° when measured by a sessile drop method using ethylene glycol.

A method of producing a polyvinyl butyral resin composition including: preparing a reaction composition including i) a polyvinyl alcohol resin, ii) a butanal, and iii) a butanoic acid; and obtaining the polyvinyl butyral resin composition, wherein a conversion rate of butanal is 77% or more.

A method of controlling a particle size distribution of a filler in an extrudable composition comprises introducing an extrudable composition comprising a polymer matrix material and a filler into an extruder, the filler having a first average particle size that is larger than a target average particle size. The extrudable composition is extruded one or more times using the extruder to reduce the size of the filler from the first average particle size to a reduced average particle size, the reduced average particle size being within 10% of the target average particle size.

A process for producing split crosslinked polyolefin sheets comprises producing a crosslinked polyolefin foam sheet having an opposing first surface region and second surface region, and an intermediate region disposed therebetween, wherein the intermediate region is configured to have a gel content lower than an average gel content of the first surface region and the second surface region, and an average cell size larger than an average cell size of the first surface region and the second surface region; and applying a splitting force to the crosslinked foam sheet such that a controlled tear propagation travels through the intermediate region until a first side of the crosslinked polyolefin foam sheet and a second side of the crosslinked polyolefin foam sheet are separated to produce two split polyolefin foam sheets. The split crosslinked polyolefin foam sheets may comprise a skin side comprising a closed cell surface, and a split side comprising an open cell surface having peak heights of about 150 μm to about 550 μm.

A polymer film comprising polyvinyl acetal and a laminated glass manufactured using the same are provided. At least one surface of the polymer film has a void volume (Vv) value at a material ratio of 10% ranging from 2 μm.sup.3/μm.sup.2 to 18 μm.sup.3/μm.sup.2, wherein the void volume (Vv) and material ratio are defined in accordance with ISO 25178-2:2012.

A method of making large ultrathin free-standing polymer films without use of a sacrificial layer includes the steps of providing a substrate, applying a polyelectrolyte material to said substrate, applying a polymer material onto said substrate and onto said polyelectrolyte material, and directly delaminating said polymer material from said substrate and said polyelectrolyte to produce the ultrathin free-standing polymer film.
