SILANE-CONTAINING THERMOPLASTIC POLYOLEFIN COPOLYMER RESINS, FILMS, PROCESSES FOR THEIR PREPARATION AND PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULE LAMINATE STRUCTURE COMPRISING SUCH RESINS AND FILMS

摘要

Disclosure are films based on alkoxysilane-containing polyolefin resins with reduced melt strength, photovoltaic cell laminate structures and methods for their preparation. In the disclosed alkoxysilane-containing polyolefin resin films according to the invention, reduced melt strength is provided by, among other things, using optimized silane:initiator ratios and is shown to reduce detrimental film shrinkage and provide improved photovoltaic laminate structures.
