  • Patent number: 8791208
    Abstract: Provided is a sheet for a solar cell encapsulant containing (A) an ethylene-based polymer having a melting point of 90° C. or higher and containing an ethylene-derived constituent unit as a main component; (B) an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer having a vinyl acetate-derived constituent unit at a content ratio of from 19% to 40% by mass; and (C) a silane coupling agent having an amino group. The sheet for solar cell encapsulant has the excellent transparency and flexibility possessed by an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer. Furthermore, a crosslinking treatment is substantially unnecessary, and adhesiveness and adhesion stability that are appropriate for practical use are obtained.

  • Publication number: 20130056049
    Abstract: The present invention provides a multilayer material which has a layer (A) that contains a silane coupling agent and an ethylene type zinc ionomer, and a layer (B) that contains at least one of an ethylene type magnesium ionomer or an ethylene type sodium ionomer. The multilayer material is suitable for use as an encapsulant for a solar cell or an interlayer for safety (laminated) glass. It is preferable that the multilayer material contains at least two of the layer (A) and at least one of the layer (B) and has a multilayered structure in which the layer (B) is interposed between the two of the layer (A).

  • Publication number: 20110108094
    Abstract: Provided is a laminated sheet for solar cell having a back sheet base material including a fluoro-resin or a polyester resin, and a sealing material layer which includes an ethylene copolymer composition containing a copolymer of an ethylene and a polar monomer which has a polar group selected from a group consist of a carboxylic acid group and a group derived from a carboxylate and a dialkoxysilane having an amino group is laminated on a surface of the back sheet base material where a chemical treatment or a physical treatment for improving adhesiveness has been applied, by a melt extrusion lamination method. Thereby, a laminated sheet having excellent productivity and excellent interlayer adhesion strength between the back sheet and the sealing material is obtained.
