Method of making a transparent lightweight coated hybrid composite

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method of making a transparent lightweight coated hybrid composite (HyC) and, particularly, to a hybrid composite coated with a thermal-insulation solar-control coating. In particular, there is disclosed the following sequence of manufacturing steps for making a coated HyC: 1) providing an individual rigid plastic pane and an individual thin glass pane; 2) preparing surface of each pane using at least one of the following methods: washing, plasma treatment, chemical activation; 3) In case of a PC pane, bonding the treated surfaces of the plastic and glass panes together by means of lamination using a thermoplastic interlayer, such as PVB, EVA, or TPU. In case of PMMA, PET, or another acrylic having a low GTP, bonding the treated surfaces of the plastic and glass panes together by means of gluing with an OCA, such as LOCA.
