  • Patent number: 10505067
    Abstract: Provided are an aqueous dispersion composition, a backsheet for a photovoltaic module, a method of preparing the same, and a photovoltaic module. Since the aqueous dispersion composition includes a fluorine-based polymer, a pigment and an aqueous dispersion binder, a backsheet for a photovoltaic module using the aqueous dispersion composition is prepared without a toxic organic solvent, and thus is environmentally friendly and economical. In addition, as the aqueous dispersion binder is used, a chalking phenomenon in which the pigment projected on a surface of the backsheet is easily detached may be prevented, thereby enhancing both productivity and quality.

  • Patent number: 10399711
    Abstract: Laminated carbon-carbon composites can be used as an ablative material, but they are often prone to delamination under thermally induced interlaminar shear and tension. Graded carbon-carbon composites with a sacrificial or ablative layer that is integral with one or more underlying layers and not fully dense can address these issues and provide other advantages. Such graded carbon-carbon composites can include a densified base layer containing a first portion of a carbonaceous matrix, and an outer ablative layer that is integral with the densified base layer and contains a second portion of the carbonaceous matrix. The carbonaceous matrix in the densified base layer has a first porosity, and the carbonaceous matrix in the outer ablative layer has a second porosity that is higher than that of the densified base layer. Methods for forming graded carbon-carbon composites can include heating a partially densified base layer and a carbonaceous matrix precursor above a carbonization temperature.
