Thermoplastic interlayers containing functional elements, such as quantum dots, laminates and systems incorporating the thermoplastic interlayers, and methods for the same are provided. The thermoplastic interlayer may be an extruded thermoplastic interlayer including a thermoplastic polyurethane and the functional elements disposed in the thermoplastic polyurethane. The functional elements may include quantum dots in an amount of from greater than 0 wt % to about 5 wt %. The thermoplastic interlayer may have a haze of from greater than 0% to less than or equal to 5%. The laminates may include first and second optically transparent outer sheets, and the thermoplastic interlayer interposed between the first and second optically transparent outer sheets. A laminated glazing unit is also provided and may include the laminate and a photovoltaic cell operably coupled with the laminate.
An extruded thermoplastic interlayer, comprising a thermoplastic polyurethane and functional elements disposed in the thermoplastic polyurethane, wherein the functional elements comprise quantum dots in an amount of greater than about 0 wt % to about 5 wt %, based on the total weight of the extruded thermoplastic interlayer, and wherein the extruded thermoplastic interlayer has a haze, as determined according to reference test ASTM D1003, of from greater than 0% to less than or equal to about 5%.
A laminate, comprising:
A laminated glazing unit, comprising:
