In an embodiment, a photovoltaic module, comprises a transparent superstrate; a backsheet, wherein the backsheet comprises a core layer comprising a core composition formed from a first polycarbonate comprising dimethyl bisphenol cyclohexane carbonate repeat units and bishpenol-A, wherein the first polycarbonate has the structure wherein the dimethyl bisphenol cyclohexane carbonate repeat units are present in an amount of 10 wt. % to 50 wt. %, based on the total repeat units in the core composition; and a second polycarbonate selected from the group consisting of a bisphenol-A polycarbonate homopolymer, a polyphthalate carbonate copolymer, a polycarbonate copolymer comprising 2-phenyl-3,3-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl) phthalimidine carbonate and bisphenol-A carbonate repeat units, a polycarbonate copolymer comprising bisphenol-A carbonate and tetrabromobisphenol A carbonate repeat units, and combinations comprising at least one of the foregoing; and a photovoltaic cell between the superstrate and the backsheet.

Composition, multilayer sheets made therefrom, and methods for making and using the same

Multilayer articles comprising a coating layer comprising resorcinol arylate chain members bound to a support substrate via an optional intermediate tie layer. Adhesion between the layers of the multilayer article is enhanced by modifying at least a part of a surface of at least one of the layers in the multilayer article by a technique selected from at least one of: surface adhesive treatment, surface corona treatment, flame treatment, plasma surface treatment, vacuum deposition treatment, ionization radiation, chemical surface treatment, surface abrasion treatment, and surface texturing treating.

Multilayer articles comprising resorcinol arylate polyester and method for making thereof

Disclosed are multilayer articles comprising (i) at least one polycarbonate layer, wherein the polycarbonate comprises structural units derived from at least one dihydroxy aromatic hydrocarbon; (ii) at least one polypropylene layer; and (iii) a tielayer between the polycarbonate layer and the polypropylene layer, wherein the tielayer comprises a copolymer with structural units derived from at least one alkenyl aromatic compound and at least one conjugated diene. Also disclosed are film pre-assemblies comprising a tielayer and either a polycarbonate or a polypropylene layer. Methods to make articles and pre-assemblies are also disclosed.

Multilayer articles comprising polycarbonate and polypropylene and method for their preparation

A laminate composite is formed by forming a layer of a first thermoplastic resin in contact with a second compatible thermoplastic resin where the first layer comprising an acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene layer and said second layer comprises a thermoplastic resin selected from the group consisting of comprises polycarbonate resin, phenylene ether resins, and polyamides.
