Abstract
A multilayer film includes a first layer of a first polymeric material and a second layer of a second polymeric material. The first material has a first index of refraction and the second material has a second index of refraction less than the first index of refraction. In one embodiment, the second material includes a polydiorganosiloxane polyamide block copolymer. In another embodiment, the second material includes a polydiorganosiloxane polyoxamide block copolymer.
Claims20
A film comprising:
- a first layer comprising a first polymeric material having a first index of refraction;
- and
- a second layer contiguous to said first layer, the second layer comprising a second polymeric material having a second index of refraction less than the first index of refraction, the second polymeric material comprising at least 2 repeat units of Formula I:
- wherein each R1 is independently an alkyl, haloalkyl, aralkyl, alkenyl, aryl, or aryl substituted with an alkyl, alkoxy, or halo;
- each Y is independently an alkylene, aralkylene, or a combination thereof;
- G is a divalent residue equal to a diamine of formula R3HN-G-NHR3 minus the two —NHR3 groups;
- R3 is hydrogen, alkyl, or taken together with G and to the nitrogen to which they are both attached form a heterocyclic group;
- n is independently an integer of 0 to 1500;
- each B is independently a covalent bond, an alkylene of 4-20 carbons, an aralkylene, an arylene, or a combination thereof;
- and
- p is an integer of 1 to 10.
A film comprising:
