Abstract: Multilayer constructions are provided, for instance including a barrier layer, a sealing layer, and a polymer layer. The barrier layer has a major surface on which the sealing layer is disposed, and the sealing layer includes crosslinked silsesquioxane. The polymer layer includes a crosslinked polymer, and is disposed adjacent to a major surface of the barrier layer opposite from the sealing layer. The multilayer construction may further include additional layers, such as a substrate. Devices are also provided including the multilayer constructions.

Abstract: A system for monitoring temperature of an electrical conductor (31) enclosed in at least a (semi)conductive layer (13) comprising: a passive inductive unit (20), and a transceiver unit (40) and a control unit (50). The passive inductive unit (20) includes at least one temperature sensitive component and is configured to have a resonance frequency and/or Q value that vary with temperature of the electrical conductor (31). The transceiver unit (40) is configured to be electromagnetically coupled to the passive inductive unit (20) and to send out a signal representing the resonance frequency and/or Q value of the passive inductive unit (20). The transceiver unit (40) is further configured to communicate with the control unit (50) which ascertains the signal representing one or both of the resonance frequency and Q value, and which determines a value of the temperature of the electrical conductor (31) based on the ascertained signal representing one or both of the resonance frequency and Q value.
