  • Patent number: 9437881
    Abstract: There is provided a reinforcing material equipped with a cohesive/adhesive layer, having a proper initial adhesion force to an adherend, such as an electrolyte membrane, a catalyst layer and a gas diffusion layer, and which can be temporarily fixed readily. A reinforcing material produced by forming a cohesive/adhesive layer on a substrate. The cohesive/adhesive layer includes an aliphatic polyamide, an epoxy resin and a polythiol. When the reinforcing material is used, it becomes possible to correct the position of an adherend after the adhesion of the reinforcing material to the adherend. In addition, it can prevent the formation of wrinkles on the adherend or the like upon the adhesion of the reinforcing material. Therefore, a catalyst layer laminated membrane or the like which has a reinforcing material attached thereto can be produced readily without requiring the employment of any highly skilled technique.

  • Patent number: 9147784
    Abstract: The present invention provides a crosslinked polyethylene sealing material sheet for a solar-cell module offering exceptional heat resistance, wherein the sealing material sheet is provided with high metal-adhesion performance. A sealing material sheet for a solar-cell module comprises a sealing material sheet composition for a solar-cell module containing a polyethylene resin in a concentration of 0.900 g/cm3 or less, glycidyl methacrylate (GMA), a radical polymerization initiator, and triallyl isocyanurate (TAIC), wherein the GMA content of the sealing material sheet is 0.15 to 3.0% by mass, the TAIC content of the sealing material sheet is 0.15 to 3.0% by mass, and the radical polymerization initiator content of the sealer is 0.01 to 2.5% by mass.
