Glass-polycarbonate laminate

Claim 1

A laminate of glass and polycarbonate resin comprising at least one polycarbonate resin lamina bonded to at least one glass lamina, the glass lamina which is bonded to the polycarbonate lamina being primed on the surface thereof adjacent to the polycarbonate lamina with two adhesion promoting primer layers consisting essentially of (i) a first primer layer disposed on said surface of said glass lamina and consisting essentially of the equilibrated reaction product of (a) water, (b) a C.sub.(1-8) alkanol, and (c) the reaction mixture of 1 to 3 moles of an aminoalkyl polyalkoxysilane per mole of diorganocarbonate, where there is employed in such equilibrated reaction product, on a volume basis, from 0.5 to 10 parts of (a), and from 0.5 to 100 parts of (c) per 100 parts of (b); and (ii) a second primer layer disposed on said first primer layer and consisting essentially of from about 1 to about 15 weight percent of an epoxy resin and from about 85 to about 99 weight percent of a polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer, said primed surface of said glass lamina being adhered to said polycarbonate resin lamina by means of an adhesive interlayer of a polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer.

Claim 11

A method for making a multi-ply composite which comprises heating to an elevated temperature an assembly comprising a glass ply, a polycarbonate resin ply, and a polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer adhesive interlayer disposed between said glass ply and said polycarbonate resin ply, while subjecting such assembly to a pressure of at least about one atmosphere, where the glass ply has been primed on the surface thereof adjacent said interlayer with two primer layers consisting essentially of (i) a first primer layer disposed on said glass consisting essentially of the equilibrated reaction product of (a) water, (b) a C.sub.(1-8) alkanol, and (c) the reaction mixture at temperatures in the range of between about 0° C. to about 90° C. of 1 to 3 moles of an aminolkyl polyalkoxysilane per mole of a diorganocarbonate, where there is employed in such equilibrated reaction product, on a volume basis, from 0.5 to 10 parts of (a), and from 0.5 to 10 parts of (c) per 100 parts of (b); and (ii) a second primer layer disposed on said first primer layer consisting essentially of from about 1 to about 15 weight percent of an epoxy resin and from about 85 to about 99 weight percent of a polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer.

Claim 12

A method for making a multi-ply composite which comprises heating to an elevated temperature an assembly comprising a glass ply, a polycarbonate resin ply, and a polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer adhesive interlayer disposed between said glass ply and said polycarbonate resin ply, while subjecting such assembly to a pressure of at least about one atmosphere, where the glass ply has been primed on the surface thereof adjacent said interlayer with two primer layers consisting essentially of (i) a first primer layer disposed on said glass consisting essentially of the equilibrated reaction product of (a) water, (b) a C.sub.(1-8) alkanol, and (c) the reaction mixture at temperatures in the range of between about 0° C. to about 90° C. of 1 to 3 moles of an aminolkyl polyalkoxysilane per mole of a diorganocarbonate, where there is employed in such equilibrated reaction product, on a volume basis, from 0.5 to 10 parts of (a), and from 0.5 to 10 parts of (c) per 100 parts of (b); and (ii) a second primer layer disposed on said first primer layer consisting essentially of from about 1 to about 15 weight percent of an epoxy resin and from about 85 to about 99 weight percent of a polysiloxane-polycarbonate copolymer.
