Abstract: A film has an inner and an outer surface. The film includes a first layer forming the outer surface and including fluoropolymer. The film further includes a second layer disposed away from the outer surface comprising a polymer. The polymer can have a storage modulus at 65° C. of at least 5 MPa. The film has a plurality of surface features forming the outer surface and extending into the first and second layers. The surface features have a mean slope of at least 15°. The film can be applied as a protective film overlying an active component of a photovoltaic device.

Abstract: The invention describes a fluoropolymer laminate that includes a first substrate that can be a modified fluoropolymer having polar functionality and a second substrate. The substrates are laminated at an elevated temperature suitable for lamination to occur and then are subsequently treated with radiation, such as ultraviolet radiation, gamma radiation and/or electron beam.

Abstract: There are described novel image-receiving elements for use in diffusion transfer photographic systems. The novel image-receiving elements include a layer capable of reducing the light-absorbing capacity of an optical filter agent. The layer comprises nonylphenoxypolyoxyethylene and polyoxyethylene stearate.Diffusion transfer photographic systems utilizing the novel image-receiving elements of the present invention exhibit substantial clearing of optical filter agents during about the first five minutes of photographic processing, enabling the viewing of the emerging image against a whiter, brighter background, and show substantially diminished haze in the film coatings.
