Definitions
- the present invention relates to multilayered infrared reflecting films, and more particularly to polymeric multilayered films which reflect light in the infrared region of the spectrum while transmitting light at substantially all wavelengths in the visible spectrum with an absence of visibly perceived iridescent color.
- the reflection and transmission spectra for a particular film are primarily dependent on the optical thickness of the individual layers, where optical thickness is defined as the product of the actual thickness of the layer times its refractive index.
- Films can be designed to reflect infrared, visible, or ultraviolet wavelengths of light depending on the optical thickness of the layers. When designed to reflect infrared wavelengths of light, such prior art films also exhibit higher order reflections in the visible range, resulting in an iridescent appearance for the films.
- the films produced in accordance with the prior art exhibit iridescence and changing colors as the angle of incident light on the film is changed.
- infrared reflecting films can be laminated to glass in buildings and automobiles to reduce air conditioning loads.
- the films may also be laminated to other substantially transparent plastic materials to reflect infrared wavelengths.
- the films must be substantially transparent to visible light so that the vision of those looking through the glass or plastic is not impaired.
- the present invention meets that need by providing a polymeric multilayered film made up of multiple alternating layers of diverse polymers which reflects wavelengths of light in the infrared region of the spectrum while being substantially transparent to wavelengths of light in the visible spectrum.
- a broadband reflective multilayer polymeric film or a suitable broad-band reflective metal oxide or halide coating in combination with the infra red -reflecting film, the film is also capable of masking iridescent color reflected from the infrared-reflecting layers.
- the polymeric materials need not differ in any respect except in terms of refractive index.
- adjacent layers may be chemically diverse, if such materials have the . . refractive index, then for purposes of the present invention they are not “diverse".
- the number of layers may vary within a wide range of from 50 to over 1000 layers.
- a substantially colorless polymeric multilayered film having at least two major surfaces and which reflects light in the infrared region of the spectrum while transmitting light in the visible region of the spectrum.
- at least 50 percent, and most preferably at least 70 percent, of the light in the visible region of the spectrum istransmitted through the film.
- the film also reflects light in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum.
- Means are also associated with the film for masking any iridescent visible color reflected from the layers so that there is an absence of visibly perceived color reflected from the film.
- masking it is meant that means are provided to reflect and/or refract light to interfere with the observance of iridescent visible color.
- the color masking means comprises a masking film which reflects light substantially uniformly 0 over the visible portion of the spectrum.
- the masking film comprises a sufficient number of alternating layers of substantially transparent diverse first and second polymeric materials having optical thicknesses of not less than 0.45 ⁇ m or not greater than 0.09 ⁇ m.
- the alternating layers of polymeric materials comprise polycarbonate and polymethyl-methacrylate. 5
- the color masking film may be located on one or both of the major surfaces of the polymeric film or between interior layers of the film.
- the color masking film is laminated to the polymeric film. Alternatively, it may be coextruded therewith.
- the color masking means comprises a substantially colorless metal oxide or metal halide film having sufficient broad band reflectance o in the visible range to mask the iridescent color effects of the infrared reflecting film.
- the metal oxide or halide film is preferably deposited on the film by conventional coating techniques such as pyrolysis, powder coating, chemical vapor deposition, vacuum coating, or cathode sputtering.
- the metal oxide or halide film may be located on one or both of the major surfaces of the polymeric film or between interior layers of 5 the film.
- a preferred metal oxide film is tin oxide.
- Fig. 1 is a graph illustrating the reflectance of optically thick layers placed behind the infrared reflecting film prepared in accordance with Example 1 ;
- Fig. 2 is a graph illustrating the color location for each of the reflecting spectra shown in Fig. 1 ;
- Fig. 3 is a schematic cross-section of a preferred three component polymeric multilayered film of the present invention laminated to the color masking film of the present invention.
- the present invention provides polymeric multilayered films with a number of desirable properties including infrared reflectivity, substantial transparency to visible light, and the capability to mask iridescent color from the films so that there is an absence of perceived col or ref I ected from the f i I m .
- the polymeric multilayered film has at least two major surfaces and comprises multiple alternating layers of at least two diverse, substantially transparent polymeric materials, with the layers having an optical thickness of between 0.09 ⁇ m and 0.45 ⁇ m (optically thin layers) and each of the polymeric materials having a different index of refraction such that the layers reflect light in the infrared portion of the spectrum.
- the transparent polymeric materials differ from each other in refractive index by at least about
- the polymeric multilayered film includes first, second and third diverse polymeric materials of alternating layers having a repeating pattern ABCB where the first polymeric material is polystyrene, the second polymeric material is a copolymer of styrene and methyl methacrylate, and the third polymeric material is polymethyl methacrylate.
- the preferred three component multilayer film is shown schematically in Fig. 3 as a repeating unit ABCB.
- the film 10 includes polymer layers 12, 14 and 16, respectively of polymers A, B, and C.
- the refractive index of the second polymeric material is preferably intermediate the respective refractive indices of the first and third polymeric materials.
- the optical thickness of a given layer may be defined as the physical thickness, d, times the refractive index, nj, of the polymeric material.
- the optical thickness ratio of a material, f detox may be defined as: f _njdi
- the optical thickness ratio of material A, f A is 1/3
- the optical thickness ratio of material B, f B is 1/6
- the optical thickness ratio of material C, fc is 1/3. See Schrenk et al., U.S. Patent No. 5,103,337.
- there is an intense reflection at the first order wavelength while the reflections at the second, third, and fourth order wavelengths are suppressed.
- a layer thickness gradient may be introduced across the thickness of the film.
- the layer thicknesses will increase monotonically across the thickness of the film.
- “monotonically” it is meant that each layer will consistently increase in thickness with respect to the preceding layer at a predetermined rate.
- the film includes first and second polymeric materials of alternating layers having a repeating pattern ABAB where the first polymeric material comprises polystyrene and the second polymeric material comprises polymethylmethacrylate.
- first polymeric material comprises polystyrene
- second polymeric material comprises polymethylmethacrylate.
- the present invention provides a color masking film which is associated with the polymeric multilayered film to mask any iridescent visible color reflected from the layers so that there is an absence of visibly perceived color reflected from the film.
- the color masking means comprises a masking film which reflects light substantially uniformly over the visible portion of the spectrum.
- the masking film comprises a sufficient number of alternating layers of substantially transparent diverse polymeric materials having broad band reflectance across the visible spectrum which is sufficient to mask perceived iridescent color.
- the layers in the masking film may comprise optically thick layers, combinations of optically thick and optically very thin layers and optically thin layers and combinations of optically thin and optically thick layers where the layer thicknesses of the optically thin layers in the stack have been varied to produce broad band visible reflectance.
- the alternating layers of polymeric materials comprise polycarbonate and polymethylmethacrylate.
- the masking film may be associated with either two- or three-component films, it should be appreciated that the three-component film which suppresses the second through fourth order reflections will not require as many alternating layers of masking film as the two-component film described above, which does not suppress higher order visible reflections.
- the overall effect of the combination of the polymeric multilayered film with the color masking film is dependent on the relationship between the baseline reflectance and the peak reflectance.
- the perception factor, Pf is a measure of how the eye perceives changes in the reflectance of the multilayer film.
- peak reflectance we mean the highest value for reflectance which is measured within the wavelength range of interest.
- baseline reflectance we mean the average reflectance on either side of the peak wavelength band.
- the wavelength range of interest is the visible spectrum.
- the use of the color masking film in association with the polymeric multilayered film causes the baseline reflectance in the visible range to be raised to result in a Pf value of less 0 than 0.5 which substantially masks any iridescent color.
- the color masking film may be located on one or both of the major sufaces of the infrared reflecting polymeric film or between interior layers of the film. As shown in Fig. 1 , the color masking film 18 is preferably laminated to the polymeric film. Alternatively, the color masking layers may be coextruded with the infrared reflective layers. 5 In another embodiment of the invention, the color masking means comprises a substantially colorless metal oxide or metal halide film having sufficient reflectance to mask the visible iridescent color effects of the infrared reflecting film.
- the metal oxide or halide film is preferably deposited on the infrared reflecting film by conventional coating techniques such as pyrolysis, powder coating, chemical vapor 0 deposition, vacuum coating, or cathode sputtering.
- the metal oxide or halide film may be located on one or both of the major surfaces of the film or between interior layers of the film.
- a preferred metal oxide is tin oxide.
- Preferred polymeric materials for use in the polymeric multilayered film of the present invention include homopolymers and copolymers of styrene and methylmet acrylate.
- the first polymeric material may be polystyrene
- the second polymeric material may be a copolymer of styrene and methyl-methacrylate
- the third polymeric material may be polymethyl methacrylate.

- Other copolymers include copolycarbonates of 4,4-thiodi phenol and bisphenol A and copolymers of gluterimide and methyl-methacrylate (KAMAX resins, available from Rohm and Haas).
- miscible blends of polymers may be used to form any of the polymeric materials by mixing them in the correct proportions for the desired refractive index.
- suitable miscible blends include polymethylmethacrylate and polyvinylidene fluoride as well as miscible blendsof polycarbonates with: copolymers of polyvinyl chloride and polyvinylidene chloride (SARANTM, available from The Dow Chemical Company), polyesters and copolyesters polycaprolactones, poly(ethylene succinate), poly(ethylene adipate), poly(1 ,4- butylene adipate), poly(1,4-cyclohexanedimethylene succinate), and a copolymer based on 1 ,4- cyclohexanedimethylene terephthalate (PCTG).
- SARANTM copolymers of polyvinyl chloride and polyvinylidene chloride

- polymers and their respective refractive indices, are reported in J. Brandrup and E. Immerqut, Polymer Handbook, Third Edition, pp. VI-451-VI461. It is preferred that the polymers have compatible rheologies for coextrusion. That is, as a preferred method of forming the multilayer films is the use of coextrusion techniques, the melt viscosities of the polymers must be reasonably matched to prevent layer instability or nonuniformity. The polymers used also should have sufficient interfacial adhesion so that the films will not delaminate.
- Multilayer films in accordance with the present invention are most advantageously prepared by employing a multilayered coextrusion device as described in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,773,882 and 3,884,606.
- a multilayered coextrusion device as described in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,773,882 and 3,884,606.
- Such a device provides a method for preparing multilayered, simultaneously extruded thermoplastic materials, each of which are of a substantially uniform layer thickness.
- the feedblock of the coextrusion device receives streams of the diverse thermoplastic polymeric materials from a source such as a heat plastifying extruder.
- the streams of resinous materials are passed to a mechanical manipulating section within the feedblock. This section serves to rearrange the original streams into a multilayered stream having the number of layers desired in the film.
- this multilayered stream may be subsequently passed through a series of layer multiplying means in order to further increase the number of layers in the film.
- the multilayered stream is then passed into an extrusion die which is so constructed and arranged that streamlined flow is maintained therein.
- Such an extrusion device is described in U.S. Patent No. 3,557,265.
- the resultant product is extruded to form a multilayered film in which each layer is generally parallel to the major surface of adjacent layers.
- the configuration of the extrusion die can vary and can be such as to reduce the thickness and dimensions of each of the layers.
- the precise degree of reduction in thickness of the layers delivered from the mechanical orienting section, the configuration of the die, and the amount of mechanical working of the film after extrusion e all factors which affect the thickness of the individual layers in the final film. It should be appreciated that the polymeric multilayered film and the color masking film may be extruded separately and then laminated together or may be coextruded together.
- the polymeric multilayered films of the present invention may find a number of uses in areas where infrared reflective properties are desired.
- the films of the present invention may be used as glazing material.
- the films of the present invention may also be laminated to glass used in buildings and automobiles to reflect infrared radiation, thus lowering the heating loads.
- the films may be laminated to other substantially transparent plastics to provide infrared reflective properties.
- windshields and canopies on certain aircraft are fabricated from tough polymeric resins. Laminating the multilayered film of the present invention to, or incorporating the film into, such polymeric resins would provide protection from infrared radiation while still providing substantial transparency to light in the visible region of the spectrum.
- the polymeric infrared reflective multilayered films are associated with the color masking film, no iridescence or other undesirable color effects are perceived.
- the polymeric multilayered film also provides a number of advantages over prior art films in that they are easier to produce because the ability to mask iridescent color in the films allows looser control of layer thickness and simplifies processing. Further, the films of the present invention may be readily retrofitted onto existing structures or incorporated into new structures. In order that the invention may be more readily understood, reference is made to the following example, which is intended to be illustrative of the invention, but is not intended to be limiting in scope. Example
- a three-component, 657 layer film was made which reflected in the infrared region of the spectrum while maintaining visible transparency.
- the coextruded film consisted of an ABCB repeat pattern of the foil owing three polymeric components: component A, styrene methyl methacrylate commercially available from the Richardson Polymer Corporation under the designation P-359; component B, a methyl methacrylate styrene copolymer commercially available from the Richardson Polymer Corporation under the designation RPC-440-70; and component C, polymethyl methacrylate commercially available from Rohm and Haas under the designation VS-100.
- component A styrene methyl methacrylate commercially available from the Richardson Polymer Corporation under the designation P-359
- component B a methyl methacrylate styrene copolymer commercially available from the Richardson Polymer Corporation under the designation RPC-440-70
- component C polymethyl methacrylate commercially available from Rohm and Haas under the
- the optical thickness ratios used for the film were 1/3, 1/6, 1/3, 1/6 as taught in Schrenk et al., U.S. Patent No. 5,103,337. This step achieved suppression of second through fourth order reflections. However, the film sample obtained exhibited non-uniform spots of iridescent color.
- the reflection spectrum for the film sample is shown as "A" in Fig. 1.
- a low intensity broad band reflector consisting of 165 alternating optically thick layers of polycarbonate and poly(methyl methacrylate) was placed behind the 657 layer film.
- the resulting reflection spectrum "B” is shown in Fig. 1. A total of 330 alternating layers of polycarbonate and polymethyl methacrylate was then placed behind the 657 layer sample.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a plot of color location for each of the three spectra shown in Fig. 1.
- the graph of Fig. 2 represents CIE 1931 tristimulus color space, where the point labeled D65 represents complete absence of color. See, R. S. Hunter, The Measurement of Appearance (1987). The further a point is away from D65, the more intense the observed color is. For example, a point on the curve plotted in Fig. 2 at 545 nm wavelength will exhibit an intense yellow-green color. Other points at different wavelengths will exhibit intense colors corresponding to the wavelength of light. As shown in Fig. 2, the placement of low intensity broad band reflectors behind the 657 layer film reduced the transparency of the film to about 70 percent and eliminate the objectionable color.
