Abstract: The present invention provides an encapsulating material for a solar cell, which is easy to prepare a solar cell module, and excellent in processability, insulating property, non-corrosion property, transparency, heat resistance, flexibility and the like, and a solar cell module prepared by using the same. The encapsulating material for a solar cell is one consisting of a cross-linkable resin composition (A) containing an ethylene-(meth)acrylic ester copolymer as a base polymer, an organic peroxide and a crosslinking aid wherein the decomposition temperature (temperature for a half-life period of one hour) of the organic peroxide is equal to or lower than 150° C., and total compounding amount of the organic peroxide and the crosslinking aid, is in a range of from 0.5 to 5 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the base polymer, and compounding ratio of the organic peroxide and the crosslinking aid (organic peroxide/crosslinking aid) is in a range of from 1/5 to 1/0.1, in weight ratio.

Abstract: Proposed herein is an ionomer composition which comprises a reaction product of from 90 to 99.5% by weight of an ethylene copolymer-type ionomer (A) with from 0.5 to 10% by weight of an olefin copolymer (B) having epoxy groups in its side chains, and from 5 to 200 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of said reaction product, of an olefin-type thermoplastic elastomer (C). The proposed ionomer composition is excellent in scratch resistance and flexibility and exhibits a reduced "luster reappearance".

Abstract: A vinyl chloride resin composition comprising(A) 100 parts by weight of a vinyl chloride resin,(B) 30 to 200 parts by weight of an ethylene/vinyl acetate/carbon monoxide copolymer, and(C) 2 to 80 parts by weight of chlorinated polyethylene. The said vinyl chloride resin composition can be prepared by simultaneously melt-mixing 100 parts by weight of the vinyl chloride resin, 30 to 200 parts by weight of the ethylene/vinyl acetate/carbon monoxide copolymer and 2 to 80 parts by weight of chlorinated polyethylene.
