This invention relates to a method for preparing an organic film at the surface of a solid support, with a step of contacting the surface with a liquid solution including (i) at least one protic solvent, (ii) at least one adhesion primer, and (iii) at least one monomer different from the adhesion primer and radically polymerisable, under non-electrochemical conditions, and allowing the formation of radical entities based on the adhesion primer. This invention also relates to a non-electrically-conductive solid support on which an organic film is grafted, and a kit for preparing an essentially polymeric organic film at the surface of a solid support.

A method for producing a film having luminescent particles is described. The method has steps a) mixing a thermoplastic and a luminescent pigment containing a hydroxyalkyl terephthalate of the formulate: R.sub.1—COO—P(OH)x-COO—R.sub.2 and obtaining a thermoplastic mixture; and b) homogenizing the thermoplastic mixture to 150° C. to 200° C. in an extruder, by way of an extrusion nozzle, and obtaining a thermoplastic film.

The present invention relates to a glass pane construction, particularly bullet proof glass pane, to be used in a motor vehicle, having several transparent panes and layers made of glass, ceramic or synthetic material, which are connected in a layered manner connected to each other in a laminate, electrical controllable or switchable electrochromic layer means for electrical controlling or switching of the light transparency of the glass pane construction or of the bullet proof pane, wherein a laminar transparent UV filtering layer means for filtering of striking ultraviolet (UV) radiation is provided so that none or only a part of the UV radiation passes to the electrochromic layer means.

Provided are a biaxially stretched laminated polyester film and a laminated glass composed of the same. Specifically, the invention is achieved by a biaxially stretched laminated polyester film including 51 layers or more in total, in which a first layer and a second layer are alternately laminated, wherein a polyester (A) constituting the first layer is polyethylene-2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylate; a polyester (B) constituting the second layer is a polyester containing at least one of an ethylene terephthalate component and an ethylene naphthalene dicarboxylate component; an average reflectance within a wavelength range of 400 to 750 nm is not more than 25%; an average reflectance within a wavelength range of 800 to 1,200 nm is 50% or more; and a Young's modulus of the film at 90 C. is 2,400 MPa or more in at least one direction of the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction of the film.

The invention relates to a polymer material comprising a mixture of: a base polylactic acid (PLA) polymer formed by between 60 wt.-% and 85 wt.-% L units and between 15 wt.-% and 40 wt.-% D units or between 60 wt.-% and 85 wt.-% D units and between 15 wt.-% and 40 wt.-% L units; and a plasticizer selected from the group containing citric acid esters, glycerin esters and derivatives, poly(alkylene ethers), oligomers of lactide or derivatives of lactic acid, fatty acid esters and epoxidized oils, representing between 10 wt.-% and 40 wt.-% in relation to the total weight of the polymer material.

An infrared ray cutting film having a transparent base, a near infrared ray absorbing layer containing a compound of Formula (1) with a maximum absorption wavelength of from 750 nm to 920 nm, and a near infrared ray reflection layer obtained by fixing a cholesteric liquid crystal phase is excellent in invisibility, robustness and high heat shielding performance. R.sup.1a and R.sup.1b represent alkyl, aryl or heteroaryl; at least one of R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 is an electron-withdrawing group, and R.sup.4 represents H, alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, substituted boron, or a metal. ##STR00001##

Specific composite materials described herein are based on the discovery that certain selections of materials and manufacturing conditions and processes provide unexpectedly improved self-supporting thin-film composite materials. It has been discovered that certain combinations of backing materials, shrink film materials, and manufacturing conditions provide improved composites having highly controllable, readily repeatable, and stable arc shaped cross-web curled structures. In general, the composite materials described herein comprise a dimensionally alterable film such as a polyester shrink film having a first surface and a second surface, and a polyester backing material having a first surface and a second surface, wherein the second surface of the backing material is laminated to the first surface of the dimensionally alterable film. Upon activation of the alterable film, for example upon exposing the composite material comprising the polyester heat shrink film to heat, the composite material can be imparted with an arc shaped cross-web curled structure along it longitudinal width, resulting in resistance to bending in its axial length, and a self-supporting material.
