Abstract
Methods are disclosed herein for constructing a functional interlayer stack, comprising: a) cutting two L-shaped pieces from corners of a bulk sheet of interlayer material, leaving a cut sheet; b) optionally trimming one or more of the two L-shaped pieces or the cut sheet; c) joining the L-shaped pieces to form a rectangular frame that defines a rectangular opening; d) placing the rectangular frame around a functional material to obtain a framed functional sheet; and e) covering the framed functional sheet with a cut sheet to form the functional interlayer stack, wherein the cut sheet of step e) is the same sheet as, or is a different sheet from, the cut sheet of step a).
