Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An object is to provide a polyvinyl acetal film which has excellent transparency and can suppress a thermal cracking phenomenon. The above object is achieved by providing a polyvinyl acetal film in which a ratio between a composite modulus (GPa) of the highest part in a convex part and a composite modulus (GPa) of the lowest part in a concave part on a surface of a film on a side in contact with glass, calculated by a nanoindentation measurement using a scanning probe microscope, is 0.90 or less, when a laminated glass is formed. In addition, the above object is achieved by providing a polyvinyl acetal film in which a ratio between a hardness (GPa) of the highest part in the convex part and a hardness (GPa) of the lowest part in the concave part, calculated by the SPM nanoindentation measurement, is 0.90 or less.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A polyvinyl acetal film comprising a polyvinyl acetal and a plasticizer, wherein at least one surface of the film has an uneven shape, and a ratio between a composite modulus (GPa) of a highest part in a convex part and a composite modulus (GPa) of a lowest part in a concave part, calculated by an SPM nanoindentation measurement, is 0.90 or less. 2 . The polyvinyl acetal film according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio between a hardness (GPa) of the highest part in the convex part and a hardness (GPa) of the lowest part in the concave part, calculated by an SPM nanoindentation measurement, is 0.90 or less. 3 . The polyvinyl acetal film according to claim 1 , wherein the surface of the film has a ten-point average surface roughness Rz of 30 μm or more. 4 . The polyvinyl acetal film according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio between the composite modulus (GPa) of the highest part in the convex part and the composite modulus (GPa) of the lowest part in the concave part is 0.70 or less. 5 . The polyvinyl acetal film according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio between the hardness (GPa) of the highest part in the convex part and the hardness (GPa) of the lowest part in the concave part is 0.70 or less. 6 . The polyvinyl acetal film according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio between the composite modulus (GPa) of the highest part in the convex part and the composite modulus (GPa) of the lowest part in the concave part is 0.40 or more. 7 . The polyvinyl acetal film according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio between the hardness (GPa) of the highest part in the convex part and the hardness (GPa) of the lowest part in the concave part is 0.50 or more. 8 . An interlayer film for laminated glass, made from the polyvinyl acetal film according to claim 1 . 9 . An encapsulant for a solar cell, made from the polyvinyl acetal film according to claim 1 . 10 . A laminated glass comprising the interlayer film for laminated glass according to claim 8 . 11 . A solar cell module comprising the encapsulant for a solar cell according to claim 9 .
