Abstract:
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.

Claim (Index 17):
A method for making an interlayer, said method comprising:\n (a) providing a first poly(vinyl acetal) resin comprising a residual hydroxyl content, wherein said first poly(vinyl acetal) resin comprises residues of a first aldehyde; (b) providing a second poly(vinyl acetal) resin comprising a residual hydroxyl content, wherein said second poly(vinyl acetal) resin comprises residues of a second aldehyde; (c) blending said first poly(vinyl acetal) resin and said second poly(vinyl acetal) resin and at least one plasticizer having a refractive index of at least 1.460 to about 1.520 to form a blended plasticized poly(vinyl acetal) resin; and (d) forming at least one resin layer comprising said blended plasticized poly(vinyl acetal) resin; wherein the residual hydroxyl content of said second poly(vinyl acetal) resin is at least 2 weight percent lower than the residual hydroxyl content of said first poly(vinyl acetal) resin, and wherein said first and said second aldehydes have the same number of carbon atoms per molecule, and wherein said second poly(vinyl acetal) resin is present in said blended plasticized poly(vinyl acetal) resin in an amount of not more than about 12 weight percent, based on the total weight of said first and said second poly(vinyl acetal) resins, and wherein said blended plasticized poly(vinyl acetal) resin has a haze value of less than about 1 percent.
