Resin compositions, layers, and interlayers comprising two or more thermoplastic polymers and at least one RI balancing agent for adjusting the refractive index of at least one of the resins or layers is provided. Such compositions, layers, and interlayers exhibit enhanced optical properties while retaining other properties, such as impact resistance and acoustic performance.

Poly(vinyl acetal) resin compositions, layers, and interlayers having enhanced optical properties

An interlayer structure having a cellulose ester layer for use in structural laminates is described herein. The cellulose ester layer provides rigidity and support to multilayer interlayers comprising an array of different layers. Due to the diverse properties of the cellulose ester layers, the present interlayers can be useful in producing structural laminates having high stiffness and which possess good optical clarity for a variety of applications, including outdoor structural applications.

Cellulose ester multilayer interlayers

Resin layers and interlayers exhibiting enhanced adhesion to inorganic surfaces, such as glass, are provided. In some cases, the layers and interlayers may comprise at least one adhesion stabilizing agent for improving adhesion to various surfaces, even in the presence of moisture. Such layers and interlayers may be useful, for example, in multiple layer panels, such as, for example, safety glass used in automotive and architectural applications.

Resin sheets exhibiting enhanced adhesion to inorganic surfaces

Multilayered interlayers having good acoustic properties comprising a stiff skin layer(s) and a soft core layer(s) are disclosed. The multilayered interlayers comprise: a first polymer layer (skin layer) comprising plasticized poly(vinyl acetal) resin; a second polymer layer (core layer) comprising plasticized poly(vinyl acetal) resin; wherein at least one plasticizer is a high refractive index plasticizer. The multilayered interlayers have low mottle and resist mottle formation.
