Abstract: The present invention is a film obtained from a blend of chemically distinguishable copolymers, wherein the film has a light transmission of at least 85%, and/or a haze of less than 6%, and wherein the blend comprises a component copolymer has a secant modulus of less than 15,000 when cast independently into a film.

Abstract: A flame retardant polyphenylene sulfide polymeric alloy composition based on polyphenylene sulfide, a polymeric grafting agent (e.g., ethylene/n-butyl acrylate/glycidyl methacrylate terpolymer) and an ethylene copolymer (e.g., ethylene/methacrylic acid ionomer) is provided. At about 35% by weight loading with glass fibers and 13% by weight loading of brominated polystyrene (10%) and antimony oxide (3%), the composition is self extinguishing under UL-94 and retains greater than 3% elongation at break according to ASTM D638.

Abstract: The present invention is photovoltaic (solar) cell module comprising a multilayer laminate ionomer film as an encapsulant layer wherein the laminate has a light transmission of at least 85%, and or a haze of less than 6%, and wherein the laminate has a modulus of less than 15,000 psi.

Abstract: A flame retardant, halogen-free polymer composition that is a blend of: (1) a polyolefin selected from (a) EVA containing 25-90% by weight ethylene and 10-75% by weight vinyl acetate, (b) LLDPE, (c) LDPE, (d) VLDPE, (e) HDPE, or mixtures thereof; (2) a coupling agent made from (f) about 10 to about 50% by weight of a copolymer of ethylene and about 1% by weight to about 15% by weight functional comonomer and (g) about 50% by weight to about 90% by weight of an ethylene-based polymer; and (3) an inorganic flame retardant filler.
