No. 15/102,503, filed on Jun. 7, 2016, which is a 371 application of Application Serial No. PCT/JP2015/050977, filed on Jan. 15, 2015, which is based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2014-005485, filed on Jan. 15, 2014, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. 
    
    
     TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The present invention relates to an interlayer film for laminated glass used for obtaining laminated glass. Moreover, the present invention relates to laminated glass prepared with the interlayer film for laminated glass. 
     BACKGROUND ART 
     Since laminated glass generates only a small amount of scattering glass fragments even when subjected to external impact and broken, laminated glass is excellent in safety. As such, the laminated glass is widely used for automobiles, railway vehicles, aircraft, ships, buildings and the like. The laminated glass is produced by sandwiching an interlayer film for laminated glass between two glass plates. 
     Examples of the interlayer film for laminated glass include a single-layered interlayer film having a one-layer structure and a multi-layered interlayer film having a two or more-layer structure. 
     As an example of the interlayer film for laminated glass, the following Patent Document 1 discloses a sound insulating layer including 100 parts by weight of a polyvinyl acetal resin with an acetalization degree of 60 to 85% by mole, 0.001 to 1.0 part by weight of at least one kind of metal salt among an alkali metal salt and an alkaline earth metal salt, and a plasticizer in an amount greater than 30 parts by weight. This sound insulating layer can be used alone as a single-layered interlayer film. 
     Furthermore, the following Patent Document 1 also describes a multi-layered interlayer film in which the sound insulating layer and another layer are layered. Another layer to be layered with the sound insulating layer includes 100 parts by weight of a polyvinyl acetal resin with an acetalization degree of 60 to 85% by mole, 0.001 to 1.0 part by weight of at least one kind of metal salt among an alkali metal salt and an alkaline earth metal salt, and a plasticizer in an amount less than or equal to 30 parts by weight. 
     The following Patent Document 2 discloses an interlayer film which is a polymer layer having a glass transition temperature higher than or equal to 33° C. In Patent Document 2, a technique of allowing the polymer layer to be arranged between glass plates with a thickness less than or equal to 4.0 mm is described.

     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     Problems to be Solved by the Invention 
     In laminated glass prepared with such a conventional interlayer film described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, there are cases where the laminated glass is low in flexural rigidity. As such, for example, in the case where laminated glass is used for a side door of an automobile, the laminated glass with no fixing frame sometimes causes troubles in allowing the glass to be opened/shut due to the deflection attributed to the low rigidity of the laminated glass. 
     Moreover, in recent years, for the purpose of attaining reduced weight of laminated glass, a technique for allowing a glass plate to be thinned in thickness has been desired. In laminated glass prepared with an interlayer film sandwiched between two glass plates, when the thickness of the glass plate is thinned, there is a problem that maintaining the flexural rigidity sufficiently high is extremely difficult. 
     For example, laminated glass can be reduced in weight as long as the flexural rigidity of laminated glass can be enhanced by virtue of the interlayer film even when the thickness of the glass plate is thinned. When laminated glass is light in weight, the amount of the material used for the laminated glass can be decreased and the environmental load can be reduced. Furthermore, when laminated glass being light in weight is used for an automobile, the fuel consumption can be improved, and as a result, the environmental load can be reduced. 
     An object of the present invention is to provide an interlayer film for laminated glass with which the flexural rigidity of laminated glass can be enhanced. Moreover, the present invention is also aimed at providing laminated glass prepared with the interlayer film for laminated glass.

The half-value width of the hydroxyl group of the polyvinyl acetal resin contained in the second layer may be less than or equal to 300 cm −1 . 
     From the viewpoint of further enhancing the flexural rigidity of laminated glass, in the constitution (1″), the half-value width of the hydroxyl group of the polyvinyl acetal resin contained in the third layer is preferably greater than or equal to 160 cm −1 , more preferably greater than or equal to 180 cm −1 , still more preferably greater than or equal to 200 cm −1 , further preferably greater than or equal to 220 cm −1  and still further preferably greater than or equal to 240 cm −1 . 
     From the viewpoint of further enhancing the flexural rigidity of laminated glass, in the constitution (2″), the half-value width of the hydroxyl group of the polyvinyl acetal resin contained in the third layer is preferably greater than or equal to 251 cm −1 , more preferably greater than or equal to 255 cm −1  and further preferably greater than or equal to 270 cm −1 .

     The half-value width indicates the degree of intensity of hydrogen bonds. The hydrogen bonding force is affected by the content ratio of the hydroxyl group and the arrangement of hydroxyl groups. The hydrogen bonding force is not decided only by the content ratio of the hydroxyl group. As one factor affecting the arrangement of hydroxyl groups, the aging temperature at the time of the synthesis of the polyvinyl acetal resin can be exemplified. For example, even in the case where polyvinyl acetal resins which are the same as each other in content ratio of the hydroxyl group are obtained, when the aging temperature at the time of the synthesis of one polyvinyl acetal resin is set to a temperature higher than that of the other polyvinyl acetal resin, the hydroxyl groups are arranged so that the hydrogen bonding force is heightened and the half-value width of the hydroxyl group becomes large. 
     The half-value width can be evaluated according to a method described in the evaluation column for examples and the like described below. 
     Since the flexural rigidity can be sufficiently enhanced by virtue of the interlayer film, a first glass plate with a thickness less than or equal to 1 mm is used, and the interlayer f film is arranged between the first glass plate and a second glass plate to be suitably used for obtaining laminated glass. Since the flexural rigidity can be sufficiently enhanced by virtue of the interlayer film, a first glass plate with a thickness less than or equal to 1 mm and a second glass plate with a thickness less than or equal, to 1 mm are used, and the interlayer film is arranged between the first glass plate and the second glass plate to be more suitably used for obtaining laminated glass.

Each of the first layer 1 and the third layer 3 is a protective layer and is a surface layer in the present embodiment. The second layer 2 is arranged between the first layer 1 and the third layer 3 to be sandwiched therebetween. Accordingly, the interlayer film 11 has a multilayer structure (a first layer 1/a second layer 2/a third layer 3) in which the first, layer 1, the second layer 2 and the third layer 3 are layered in this order.

     The interlayer film 11A (first layer) contains a polyvinyl acetal resin and a plasticizer. The interlayer film 11A has the above-mentioned constitution (1) or the above-mentioned constitution (2). 
     Hereinafter, the details of the first layer (including a single-layered interlayer film), the second layer and the third layer which constitute the interlayer film according to the present invention, and the details of each ingredient contained in the first layer, the second layer and the third layer will be described. 
     (Polyvinyl Acetal Resin or Thermoplastic Resin) 
     The first layer (including a single-layered interlayer film) contains a polyvinyl acetal resin (hereinafter, sometimes described as a polyvinyl acetal resin (1)). It is preferred that the second layer contain a thermoplastic resin (hereinafter, sometimes described as a thermoplastic resin (2)) and it is preferred that the second layer contain a polyvinyl acetal resin (hereinafter, sometimes described as a polyvinyl acetal resin (2)) as the thermoplastic resin (2). It is preferred that the third layer contain a thermoplastic resin (hereinafter, sometimes described as a thermoplastic resin (3)) and it is preferred that the third layer contain a polyvinyl acetal resin (hereinafter, sometimes described as a polyvinyl acetal resin (3)) as the thermoplastic resin (3). The polyvinyl acetal resin (1), the polyvinyl acetal resin (2) and the polyvinyl acetal resin (3) may be the same as or different from one another. One kind of each of the polyvinyl acetal resin (1), the polyvinyl acetal resin (2) and the polyvinyl acetal resin (3) may be used alone, and two or more kinds thereof may be used in combination. The thermoplastic resin (2) and the thermoplastic resin (3) may be the same as or different from each other. One kind of each of the thermoplastic resin (2) and the thermoplastic resin (3) may be used alone, and two or more kinds thereof may be used in combination. 
     Examples of the thermoplastic resin include a polyvinyl acetal resin, an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin, an ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer resin, a polyurethane resin, a polyvinyl alcohol resin, and the like. Thermoplastic resins other than these may be used. 
     For example, the polyvinyl acetal resin can be produced by acetalizing polyvinyl alcohol with an aldehyde. For example, the polyvinyl alcohol is obtained by saponifying polyvinyl acetate. The saponification degree of the polyvinyl alcohol generally lies within the range of 70 to 99.9% by mole. 
     The average polymerization degree of the polyvinyl alcohol is preferably greater than or equal to 200, more preferably greater than or equal to 500, still more preferably greater than or equal to 1500, further preferably greater than or equal to 1600, especially preferably greater than or equal to 2600, most preferably greater than or equal to 2700, preferably less than or equal to 5000, more preferably less than or equal to 4000 and further preferably less than or equal to 3500. When the average polymerization degree is greater than or equal to the above lower limit, the penetration resistance of laminated glass is further enhanced. When the average polymerization degree is less than or equal to the above upper limit, formation of an interlayer film is facilitated. 
     The average polymerization degree of the polyvinyl alcohol is determined by a method in accordance with JIS X6726 “Testing methods for polyvinyl alcohol”. 
     The number of carbon atoms of the acetal group contained in the polyvinyl acetal resin is not particularly limited. The aldehyde used at the time of producing the polyvinyl acetal resin is not particularly limited. It is preferred that the number of carbon atoms of the acetal group in the polyvinyl acetal resin lie within the range of 3 to 5, and it is preferred that the number of carbon atoms of the acetal group be 3 or 4. When the number of carbon atoms of the acetal group in the polyvinyl acetal resin is greater than or equal to 3, the glass transition temperature of the interlayer film is sufficiently lowered. 
     The aldehyde is not particularly limited. In general, an aldehyde with 1 to 10 carbon atoms is suitably used. Examples of the aldehyde with 1 to 10 carbon atoms include formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde, n-butyraldehyde, isobutyraldehyde, n-valeraldehyde, 2-ethylbutyraldehyde, n-hexylaldehyde, n-octyladehyde, n-nonylaldehyde, n-decylaldehyde, benzaldehyde, and the like. Of these, propionaldehyde, n-butyraldehyde, isobutyraldehyde, n-hexylaldehyde or n-valeraldehyde is preferred, propionaldehyde, n-butyraldehyde or iscbutyraldehyde is more preferred, and n-butyraldehyde is further preferred. One kind of the aldehyde may be used alone, and two or more kinds thereof may be used in combination. 
     The content ratio of the hydroxyl group (the amount of hydroxyl groups) of the polyvinyl acetal resin (2) is preferably greater than or equal to 17% by mole, more preferably greater than or equal to 20% by mole, further preferably greater than or equal to 22% by mole, preferably less than or equal to 30% by mole, more preferably less than 27% by mole and further preferably less than or equal to 25% by mole. When the content ratio of the hydroxyl group is greater than or equal to the above lower limit, the adhesive force of the interlayer film is further heightened. In particular, when the content ratio of the hydroxyl group of the polyvinyl acetal resin (2) is greater than or equal to 20% by mole, the resin is high in reaction efficiency and is excellent in productivity, and moreover, when less than 27% by mole, the sound insulating properties of laminated glass are further heightened. Moreover, when the content ratio of the hydroxyl group is less than or equal to the above upper limit, the flexibility of the inter layer film is enhanced and the handling of the interlayer film is facilitated. 
     The content ratio of the hydroxyl group of each of the polyvinyl acetal resin (1) and the polyvinyl acetal resin (3) is preferably greater than or equal to 25% by mole, more preferably greater than or equal, to 28% by mole, further preferably greater than or equal to 30% by mole, especially preferably greater than or equal to 31% by mole, preferably less than or equal to 35% by mole, more preferably less than or equal to 34.5% by mole and further preferably less than or equal to 32% by mole. When the content ratio of the hydroxyl group is greater than or equal to the above lower limit, the adhesive force of the interlayer film is further heightened. Moreover, when the content ratio of the hydroxyl group is less than or equal to the above upper limit, the flexibility of the interlayer film is enhanced and the handling of the interlayer film is facilitated. 
     The content ratio of the hydroxyl group of the polyvinyl acetal resin is a molar fraction, represented in percentage, obtained by dividing the amount of ethylene groups to which the hydroxyl group is bonded by the total amount of ethylene groups in the main chain. For example, the amount of ethylene groups to which the hydroxyl group is bonded can be measured in accordance with JIS K6726 “Testing methods for polyvinyl alcohol” to be determined.

When the acetylation degree is greater than or equal to the above lower limit, the compatibility between the polyvinyl acetal resin and a plasticizer is heightened. When the acetylation degree is less than or equal to the above upper limit, the moisture resistance of the interlayer film and the laminated glass is enhanced. In particular, when the acetylation degree of the polyvinyl acetal resin (1) is greater than or equal to 0.1% by mole and less than or equal to 25% by mole, the laminated glass is excellent in penetration resistance.

     The acetylation degree is a molar fraction, represented in percentage, obtained by dividing a value obtained by subtracting the amount of ethylene groups to which the acetal group is bonded and the amount of ethylene groups to which the hydroxyl group is bonded from the total amount of ethylene groups in the main chain by the total amount of ethylene groups in the main chain. For example, the amount of ethylene groups to which the acetal group is bonded can be measured in accordance with JIS K6728 “Testing methods for polyvinyl butyral”.

When the acetalization degree is less than or equal to the above upper limit, the reaction time required for producing the polyvinyl acetal resin is shortened. 
     The acetalization degree is a value expressing the mole fraction determined by dividing the amount of ethylene groups to which the acetal group is bonded by the total amount of ethylene groups in the main chain in terms of percentage. The acetalization degree can be calculated by a method in accordance with JI 5  K6728 “Testing methods for polyvinyl butyral”. 
     In this connection, it is preferred that the content ratio of the hydroxyl group (the amount of hydroxyl groups), the acetalization degree (the butyralization degree) and the acetylation degree be calculated from the results measured by a method in accordance with JIS K6728 “Testing methods for polyvinyl butyral”.

In the case where the polyvinyl acetal resin is a polyvinyl butyral resin, the content ratio of the hydroxyl group (the amount of hydroxyl groups), the acetalization degree (the butyralization degree) and the acetylation degree can be calculated from the results measured by a method in accordance with JIS K6728 “Testing methods for polyvinyl butyral”.

In the case where the half-value width of the hydroxyl group of the polyvinyl acetal resin contained in the third layer is less than or equal to 250 cm −1 , the content of the plasticizer contained in the third layer relative to 100 parts by weight of the polyvinyl acetal resin contained in the third layer is preferably greater than or equal to 5 parts by weight and preferably less than 30 parts by weight. When the content of the plasticizer is greater than or equal to 5 parts by weight and less than 30 parts by weight, it is possible to enhance the flexural rigidity of laminated glass.

When the content of the plasticizer is greater than or equal to the above lower limit, the penetration resistance of the interlayer film for laminated glass is enhanced, and when less than or equal to the above upper limit, it is possible to further enhance the flexural rigidity of laminated glass.

When the content of the plasticizer is greater than or equal to the above lower limit, the penetration resistance of the interlayer film for laminated glass is enhanced, and when less than or equal to the above upper limit, it is possible to further enhance the flexural rigidity of laminated glass. 
     In order to impart the interlayer film for laminated glass with a specific function, a second layer is sometimes allowed to become a layer more flexible than the first layer and the third layer. For example, in order to impart the interlayer film for laminated glass with sound insulating properties, the glass transition temperature of a second layer is sometimes allowed to be lower than the glass transition temperature of a first layer or to be lower than the glass transition temperature of a third layer. Although the sound insulating properties of the resulting laminated glass are heightened, the flexural rigidity of the laminated glass is lowered due to the flexible layer. As described above, it is difficult to achieve both sound insulating properties and rigidity of laminated glass. However, by virtue of the constitution in which the half-value width of the hydroxyl group of the polyvinyl acetal resin contained in each of the first layer and the third layer is less than or equal to 250 cm −1  and the content of the plasticizer contained in each of the first layer and the third layer relative to 100 parts by weight of the polyvinyl acetal resin contained in each of the first layer and the third layer is greater than or equal to 5 parts by weight, and less than 30 parts by weight, or the half-value width of the hydroxyl group of the polyvinyl acetal resin contained in each of the first layer and the third layer is greater than 250 cm −1 , it is possible to heighten the rigidity of laminated glass while maintaining the sound insulating properties thereof. 
     The content of the plasticizer contained in the second layer is not particularly limited.

When the content of the plasticizer is greater than or equal to the above lower limit, the sound insulating properties of laminated glass are improved, and when the content of the plasticizer is less than or equal to the above upper limit, the penetration resistance of laminated glass is improved. 
     The content of the plasticizer contained in the second layer relative to 100 parts by weight of the thermoplastic resin (100 parts by weight of a polyvinyl acetal resin in the case where the thermoplastic resin is a polyvinyl acetal resin) contained in the second layer is preferably larger by 21 parts by weight or more, more preferably larger by 22 parts by weight or more and further preferably larger by 25 parts by weight or more, than the content of the plasticizer contained in the first layer relative to 100 parts by weight of the polyvinyl acetal resin contained in the first layer. The content of the plasticizer contained in the second layer relative to 100 parts by weight of the thermoplastic resin (100 parts by weight of a polyvinyl acetal resin in the case where the thermoplastic resin is a polyvinyl acetal resin) contained in the second layer is preferably larger by 21 parts by weight or more, more preferably larger by 22 parts by weight or more and further preferably larger by 25 parts by weight or more, than the content of the plasticizer contained in the third layer relative to 100 parts by weight of the polyvinyl acetal resin contained in the third layer. Even when the content of the plasticizer contained in the second layer is large, by virtue of the constitution in which the half-value width of the hydroxyl group of the polyvinyl acetal resin contained in each of the first layer and the third layer is less than or equal to 250 cm −1  and the content of the plasticizer contained in each of the first layer and the third layer relative to 100 parts by weight of the polyvinyl acetal resin contained in each of the first layer and the third layer is greater than or equal, to 5 parts by weight and less than 30 parts by weight, or the half-value width of the hydroxyl group of the polyvinyl acetal resin contained in each of the first layer and the third layer is greater than 250 cm −1 , it is possible to heighten the rigidity of laminated glass while maintaining the sound insulating properties thereof.

     From the viewpoint of further heightening the heat shielding properties of the interlayer film and laminated glass, it is preferred that the Ingredient X be at least one kind selected from the group consisting of phthalocyanine, a derivative of phthalocyanine, naphthalocyanine and a derivative of naphthalocyanine, and it is more preferred that the Ingredient X be at least one kind among phthalocyanine and a derivative of phthalocyanine. 
     From the viewpoints of effectively enhancing the heat shielding properties and maintaining the visible light transmittance at a higher level over a long period of time, it is preferred that the Ingredient X contain vanadium atoms or copper atoms. It is preferred that the Ingredient X contain vanadium atoms and it is also preferred that the Ingredient X contain copper atoms.

One kind of the heat shielding particles may be used alone, and two or more kinds thereof may be used in combination. 
     From the viewpoint of further heightening the heat shielding properties of laminated glass, it is more preferred that the heat shielding particles be metal oxide particles. It is preferred that the heat shielding particle be a particle (a metal oxide particle) formed from an oxide of a metal. 
     The energy amount of an infrared ray with a wavelength greater than or equal to 780 nm which is longer than that of visible light is small as compared with an ultraviolet ray. However, the thermal action of infrared rays is large, and when infrared rays are absorbed into a substance, heat is released from the substance. As such, infrared rays are generally called heat rays. By the use of the heat shielding particles, infrared rays (heat rays) can be effectively cut off. In this connection, the heat shielding particle means a particle capable of absorbing infrared rays. 
     Specific examples of the heat shielding particles include metal oxide particles such as aluminum-doped tin oxide particles, indium-doped tin oxide particles, antimony-doped tin oxide particles (ATO particles), gallium-doped zinc oxide particles (GZO particles), indium-doped zinc oxide particles (IZO particles), aluminum-doped zinc oxide particles (AZO particles), niobium-doped titanium oxide particles, sodium-doped tungsten oxide particles, cesium-doped tungsten oxide particles, thallium-doped tungsten oxide particles, rubidium-doped tungsten oxide particles, tin-doped indium oxide particles (ITO particles), tin-doped zinc oxide particles and silicon-doped zinc oxide particles, lanthanum hexaboride (LaB 6 ) particles, and the like.

Of these, since the heat ray shielding function is high, preferred are metal oxide particles, more preferred are ATO particles, GZO particles, IZO particles, ITO particles or tungsten oxide particles, and especially preferred are TTO particles or tungsten oxide particles. In particular, since the heat ray shielding function is high and the particles are readily available, preferred are tin-doped indium oxide particles (ITO particles), and also preferred are tungsten oxide particles. 
     The tungsten oxide particles are generally represented by the following formula (X1) or the following formula (X2). In the interlayer film, the tungsten oxide particles represented by the following formula (X1) or the following formula (X2) are suitably used.

Specifically, examples of the metal-doped tungsten oxide particles include sodium-doped tungsten oxide particles, cesium-doped tungsten oxide particles, thallium-doped tungsten oxide particles, rubidium-doped tungsten oxide particles, and the like. 
     From the viewpoint of further heightening the heat shielding properties of the interlayer film and laminated glass, cesium-doped tungsten oxide particles are especially preferred.

When the average particle diameter is greater than or equal to the above lower limit, the heat ray shielding properties are sufficiently heightened. When the average particle diameter is less than or equal to the above upper limit, the dispersibility of heat shielding particles is enhanced. 
     The “average particle diameter” refers to the volume average particle diameter. The average particle diameter can be measured using a particle size distribution measuring apparatus (“UPA-EX150” available from NIKKISO CO., LTD.), or the like.

     The thickness of the interlayer film is not particularly limited. From the viewpoint of the practical aspect and the viewpoint of sufficiently enhancing the penetration resistance and the flexural rigidity of laminated glass, the thickness of the interlayer film is preferably greater than or equal to 0.1 mm, more preferably greater than or equal to 0.25 mm, preferably less than or equal to 3 mm and more preferably less than or equal to 1.5 mm. When the thickness of the interlayer film is greater than or equal to the above lower limit, the penetration resistance and the flexural rigidity of laminated glass are enhanced.

For example, in order to impart the interlayer film for laminated glass with sound insulating properties, the glass transition temperature of the second layer is sometimes allowed to be lower than the glass transition temperature of each of the first layer and the third layer. Specifically, in the case where the content of the plasticizer contained in the second layer relative to 100 parts by weight of the polyvinyl acetal resin contained in the second layer is larger than the content of the plasticizer contained in the first layer relative to 100 parts by weight of the polyvinyl acetal resin contained in the first layer or the content of the plasticizer contained in the second layer relative to 100 parts by weight of the polyvinyl acetal resin contained in the second layer is larger than the content of the plasticizer contained in the third layer relative to 100 parts by weight of the polyvinyl acetal resin contained in the third layer, the flexural rigidity of laminated glass is lowered.

Moreover, when each thickness of the first layer and the third layer is greater than or equal to the above lower limit and less than or equal to the above upper limit, the flexural rigidity of laminated glass is further enhanced and it is possible to suppress the bleed-out of the plasticizer. 
     In the case where the interlayer film for laminated glass has only a one-layer structure, that is, in the case where the interlayer film for laminated glass is composed only of the first layer, since the rigidity of laminated glass is further heightened, the thickness of the first layer is preferably greater than or equal to 760 μm, more preferably greater than 760 μm, further preferably greater than 800 μm, especially preferably greater than or equal to 1000 μm and most preferably greater than or equal to 1500 μm.

     (Evaluation) 
     (1) Half-Value Width 
     A polyvinyl acetal resin was measured for the half-value width in the following manner. 
     Preparation Method of Film for Infrared Absorption Spectrum Measurement: 
     In 9.5 g of a mixed solvent of methanol and butanol (volume mixing ratio of 1:1), 0.5 g of a polyvinyl acetal resin was dissolved to obtain a solution. An aluminum plate (15 cm in longitudinal length by 5 cm in transversal length by 1 mm in thickness) was covered with a polyethylene film to prepare a substrate for preparing a film. The solution was dropped and applied onto the substrate for preparing a film so as to spread over the whole face thereof. The substrate was allowed to vertically stand and the excessive solution was recovered. This substrate was dried for 15 minutes in an infrared dryer (available from SHIMIZU SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS MFC Co., Ltd.). Afterward, the substrate was taken out thereof and horizontally held in place, and the solution was dropped and applied onto the substrate so as to spread over the lower half part (7.5 cm in longitudinal length by 5 cm in transversal length) of the substrate in the upper and lower position relation established when allowed to vertically stand. The substrate was allowed to vertically stand and the excessive solution was recovered. The substrate was again dried for 1 hour in an infrared drying machine. Afterward, the substrate was dried under vacuum for 4 hours at 60° C. in a rectangular vacuum constant-temperature dryer (“DP33” available from Yamato Scientific Co., Ltd., vacuum pump: “MINIVAC PD-102” available from Yamato Scientific Co., Ltd.). With regard to a sample dried, the sample was transferred into a desiccator immediately after taken out of the vacuum constant-temperature dryer and allowed to cool for 30 minutes to obtain a substrate with a film. 
     In this connection, in order to evaluate a polyvinyl acetal resin in an interlayer film for the half-value width, it is necessary to isolate the polyvinyl acetal resin by a reprecipitation method. First, 2 g of an interlayer film (in the case of a multilayeredly constituted one, a layer to be analyzed is peeled off and the isolated layer is used) is dissolved in 40 g of tetrahydrofuran (THF) which is a good solvent to obtain a THF solution. In a 1-L beaker, 600 g of n-hexane is placed, and to this, the above-mentioned THF solution is added drop by drop while the contents are stirred with a magnetic stirrer. After the completion of dropping the whole quantity, only lumps of a resin which precipitated at the bottom of the beaker are taken out with tweezers and broken into pieces in a petri dish to completely remove the organic solvent using an infrared drying machine and a vacuum drying machine. Using 0.5 g of the resin thus obtained, a film for the infrared absorption spectrum measurement is prepared in the same manner as that described in the preceding paragraph. 
     Infrared absorption spectrum measurement method: 
     For the measurement, the Fourier transformation infrared spectrophotometer IR-720 available from HORIBA, Ltd. was used. As the software, “HORIBA FT-IR for Windows (registered trademark) version 4.06” was used. For the purpose of preventing the influence of the moisture absorption of a sample and the humidity itself on the measurement result, the environment in a room where the measurement is performed was always kept at the temperature: 23±2° C. and the humidity: RH25±5%, and the time required for taking a substrate with a film out of the desiccator and completing one measurement operation was set within 5 minutes. 
     The measurement procedure is as follows. A substrate was taken out of the desiccator, and only a film was cut away with a utility knife and set to a sample holder. The measurement was repeatedly performed at a test, mode and the position of the film was adjusted so that the transmittance of a peak appearing at about 2950 cm −1  lies within the range of 20±0.5%. After the adjustment, the measurement was started. 
     The measurement conditions are as follows. The number of times of scanning: 5, the instrumental function: H-G, the scanning speed: 12.5, the resolution: 2, the gain: 1, the measurement range: 400 to 4000, and the spectrum: % T. 
     After the completion of the measurement, smoothing was performed. The smoothing was carried out under the condition of the intensity: 13 and the set range: the maximum value of 4000, the minimum value of 400. After the completion of smoothing, a peak appearing at about 3500 cm −1  and a peak appearing at about 2950 cm −1  were subjected to a baseline correction. A baseline was drawn between a point, which is a root part at the high wavenumber side of a peak at about 3500 cm −1  (a peak derived from the hydroxyl group), where the transmittance is heightened at about 3700 cm −1  and a point at 2500 cm −1  for the correction. After the completion of the baseline correction, a spectrum chart on which a peak part derived from the hydroxyl group is enlarged was printed out (for example, the wavenumber range: 3100 to 3700 cm −5 , the transmittance range: 50 to 100%). The half-value width of the hydroxyl group was evaluated on the basis of the printed-out spectrum chart. 
     Evaluation Method for Half-Value Width of Hydroxyl Group: 
     The peak width at X % transmittance of a hydroxyl group peak was measured with a ruler (X=SQRT (100* transmittance of OH group peak top)). The measured length is defined as A mm. Next, the length between 3100 cm −1  and 3600 cm −1  in the horizontal axis was measured with a ruler. The measured length is defined as B mm. From the above results, a value calculated from 500×A/B was defined as the half-value width of the hydroxyl group. 
     (2) Glass Transition Temperature 
     Kneaded products having respective compositions of the first layer arid the third layer in examples and comparative examples were prepared. The kneaded product prepared was press-molded with a press molding machine to obtain Resin film A with a thickness of 0.35 mm. The Resin film A obtained was allowed to stand for 2 hours under the condition of 25° C. and a relative humidity of 30%. After allowed to stand for 2 hours, the viscoelasticity thereof was measured by means of the “ARES-G2” available from TA Instruments Japan Inc. As a jig, a parallel plate with a diameter of 8 mm was used. The measurement was performed under the condition in which the temperature is decreased from 100° C. to −10° C. at a temperature decreasing rate of 3° C./minute and under the condition of a frequency of 1 Hz and a strain of 1%. In the measurement results obtained, the peak temperature of the loss tangent was defined as the glass transition temperature Tg (° C). 
     (3) Flexural Rigidity 
     The obtained Laminated glass A, Laminated glass B and Laminated glass C were prepared. In each of Laminated glass A, Laminated glass B and Laminated glass C, the following glass plates are used. 
     Laminated glass A: two glass plates (clear float glass, 25 cm in longitudinal length by 10 cm in transversal length by 2.5 mm in thickness) 
     Laminated glass B: one glass plate (clear float glass, 25 cm in longitudinal length by 10 cm in transversal length by 2.5 mm in thickness) and one glass plate (Gorilla glass, 25 cm in longitudinal length by 10 cm in transversal length by 0.7 mm in thickness) 
     Laminated glass C: two glass plates (Gorilla glass, 25 cm in longitudinal length by 10 cm in transversal length by 0.7 mm in thickness) 
     The flexural rigidity was evaluated by the testing method schematically shown in  FIG. 5 . As a measuring apparatus, the universal testing machine 5966 which is available from INSTRON Japan Co., Ltd. and equipped with the static 3-point flexural test jig 2810 was used. Under measurement conditions of the measurement temperature of 20±3° C., the distance D1 of 18 cm and the distance D2 of 25 cm, a sheet of laminated glass was deformed in the F direction at a displacement rate of 1 mm/minute, and the stress at the time when the deformation amount becomes 1.5 mm was measured to calculate the flexural rigidity. The flexural rigidity was judged according to the following criteria. 
     [Criteria for Judgment in Flexural Rigidity] 
     1: The measured value obtained from Laminated glass C is less than 0.002 mm/N. 
     2: The measured value obtained from Laminated glass C is greater than or equal to 0.002 mm/N and less than 0.005 mm/N. 
     3: The criteria for judgment of 1 and 2 are not satisfied, and the measured value obtained from Laminated glass B is less than 0.005 mm/N. 
     4: The criteria for judgment of 1 to 3 are not satisfied, and the measured value obtained from Laminated glass C is less than 0.11 mm/N. 
     5: The criteria for judgment of 1 to 3 are not satisfied, and the measured value obtained from Laminated glass C is greater than or equal to 0.11 mm/N. 
     (4) Sound Insulating Properties 
     With regard to the sound insulating properties of laminated glass for sound insulating properties measurement obtained in Examples 12 to 27 and Comparative Examples 3, 4, the laminated glass was excited by means of a vibration generator for a damping test (“Vibration exciter G21-005D” available from SHINKEN CO., LTD.) to obtain vibration characteristics, the vibration characteristics were amplified by a mechanical impedance measuring apparatus (“XG-81” available from RION Co., Ltd.), and the vibration spectrum was analyzed by an FFT spectrum analyzer (“FFT analyzer HP3582A” available from Yokogawa Hewlett-Packard). 
     From the ratio of the loss factor thus obtained to the resonance frequency of laminated glass, a graph showing the relationship between the sound frequency (Hz) and the sound transmission loss (dB) at 20° C. was prepared to determine the minimum sound transmission loss (TL value) at a sound frequency of about 2,000 Hz. The higher this TL value is, the higher the sound insulating properties become. The sound insulating properties were judged according to the following criteria. 
     [Criteria for Judgment in Sound Insulating Properties] 
     Circle: The TL value is greater than or equal to 37 dB. 
     Triangle: The TL value is greater than or equal to 35 dB and less than 37 dB. 
     X mark: The TL value is less than 35 dB.
