Analyzing the mechanical Tensions in Laminated Structures. Clues towards the control of Warping and Bending effects
The variability of Materials, Shapes and Configurations that are used in the construction of laminates are generally the main cause of the problems that affect them. That is for example the case of the semi-flexible Photovoltaic modules and also the case of many BRG...
About Delamination of Security Glass and Ballistic Resistant Glass Structures
It is worth to mention that it is really a complicated and difficult job to select and assemble different type of materials to end up with a perfect laminate. Knowing that any laminated structure is the assembly of different type of materials, the possibility of...
About Delamination of Security and BRG Structures. How to improve the adhesion of PC and TPU?
All laminated structures made of different materials are subjected to different type of tensions, mainly due to their physical and mechanical differences. From Materials Science we always try to minimize them facilitating their integration by making use of the...
Glass Defrost by using NovoGenio TPU Film NovoGlass®SF with an Embebed Metallic Web
The frosting effect is a physical phenomena that we see every day at home, when we open our refrigerators, and all winter seasons outside our homes covering the glasses of our vehicles, and whitening our gardens and landscape. Frost is formed when the temperature of a...
How much Energy can be saved by blocking the IR Sunlight radiation?
It is known that when sweating inside a vehicle or at home during Summer time, a large part of the heat that "beats us" comes from the strong sun radiation that goes through the windows of the vehicle or the house. "Magically" the heat has the capacity to get inside...
A brief explanation of how to extend the life of Security Glass Structures by means of the TPU interlayers
This new ArtiBlog has the intention to focus all the attention on the Graphs showing objective data about the properties TPUs should fulfill, so as to belong to a Security Glass or Bullet Resistance Glass Structure with a durable performance component. Through these...
How to block the IR wavelength range of the Sunlight Radiation for the e-glass, Security, and BRG window structures?
The heat that comes from the Sun radiation Talking about the sense of comfort inside vehicles and houses, it is well known that temperatures between 20º-25ºC make us feel moreor less comfortable. Above 25ºC our feeling of discomfort raises up. Some of the heat that we...
Bullet Resistant Glass Interlayers under Extreme Impact Temperatures (-30ºC/+80ºC)
All type of materials, either inorganic or organic (polymeric), behave differently depending on the environmental conditions and especially the environmental temperatures. Each material shows different mechanical performance, when it is exposed at higher temperatures...
Clues to enlarge the life span of Security Glasses and BRG laminated structures to more than 3 years
The main requirements of any Impact or Bullet Resistance Glass (BRG) structure are related to their impact strength properties (performance), their optical properties (functionality) and the mechanical consistency of the laminates (linked to their operational life...
