The invention relates to a photovoltaic module comprising (a) a front layer () arranged on the sunlight facing side of the photovoltaic module, wherein the front layer () comprises a first polypropylene composition, comprising a polypropylene, wherein the transmission of the front layer for light in the wavelength range of 350 nm to 1200 nm is on average at least 65% as compared to a situation without the front layer as determined according to ASTM D1003-13, (b) a sealing layer () which at least partly encapsulates a plurality of photovoltaic cells (), wherein the sealing layer () comprises a polyolefin elastomer composition comprising an ethylene-α-olefin copolymer and (c) a back layer (), wherein the back layer () comprises a first reinforced polypropylene layer comprising a second polypropylene composition comprising a polypropylene and optionally a reinforcing filler, wherein the sealing layer is arranged between the front layer and the back layer.

Photovoltaic element

The invention relates to a composition comprising A) a polyester, B) a polyolefin and C) a compatibilizer, wherein A) comprises a first polyester derived from an aromatic dicarboxylic acid, an acyclic aliphatic diol and at least one of a cycloaliphatic diol and spiroglycol and a second polyester different from the first polyester. The invention further relates to an article comprising the composition, particularly a toy block.

Composition comprising polyester and polyolefin

The invention relates to an article comprising a stud for fitting into a complementary receptacle and/or comprising a receptacle for fitting into a complementary stud comprising a composition comprising A) a polyester, B) a polyolefin and C) a compatibilizer, wherein the amount of A) is at least 75 wt % of the total composition, the amount of B) is 5 to 22.5 wt % of the total composition and the weight ratio of the amount of B) with respect to the amount of C) is 2 to 20.

The present teachings relate to a solar roof forming element for forming a solar roof of a building, comprising an extruded, elongate polymer roof plate, element coupling means, at least one solar panel covering the roof plate, panel coupling means for coupling the solar panel to the roof plate, comprising a first coupling part at a first side of the roof plate and a second coupling part at a first side of the solar panel, said coupling parts configured such that they mutually couple as a result of a movement of the solar panel relative to the roof plate, wherein in a coupled state a movement of the solar panel away from the roof plate in a direction perpendicular to the roof plate is blocked. The present teachings further relate to a combination of such solar roof forming elements, to a building, and to a method of forming a roof.

Disclosed herein are methods and compositions of blended polycarbonate compositions with simultaneously decreased splay and improved impact characteristics. The resulting compositions, comprising one or more polycarbonate polymers, a splay reducer, and a filler, can be used in the manufacture of articles while still retaining the advantageous physical properties of blended polycarbonate compositions with decreased splay. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.

Polycarbonate compositions for reduced splay in combination with sustained or improved impact resistance

This disclosure relates generally to methods for the manufacture of transparent polymer compositions exhibiting refractive indices similar or even identical to the refractive index of polycarbonate. Also disclosed are polymer blends comprising the disclosed polymer compositions blended with one or more convention polycarbonate.

Copolymers and polymer blends having improved refractive indices

A thermoplastic composition comprising a polycarbonate, an impact modifier, an aromatic vinyl copolymer, and a polyorganosiloxane has excellent mechanical properties, in addition to suitable low gloss performance. An article may be formed by molding, extruding, shaping or forming such a composition to form the article.

Thermoplastic polycarbonate compositions with low gloss, articles made therefrom and method of manufacture

A thermoplastic composition comprising a matrix of a polycarbonate polymer in which are embedded polysiloxane domains with an average domain size between 20 and 45 nanometers. Said compositions can be obtained by combining a first polycarbonate/poly(diorganosiloxane) copolymer; with a second polycarbonate/poly(diorganosiloxane) copolymer. A range of translucencies are obtainable by varying the relative amounts of the two copolymers without substantial loss in impact properties.

Translucent thermoplastic composition, method for making the composition and articles molded there from

Disclosed are resinous compositions with excellent balance of impact, heat, flow and environmental stress crack resistance, comprising (i) at least one aromatic polycarbonate, (ii) at least one low molecular weight hydrocarbon resin derived from petroleum C&#x2013;Cfeedstock and (iii) optionally a second thermoplastic resin which is not polycarbonate resin, (iv) optionally a rubber modified graft copolymer, and (v) optionally a polymeric or non-polymeric organic phosphorus species. Also disclosed is a method for the manufacture of the compositions and for the manufacture of articles thereof.

Resinous compositions, method of manufacture thereof and articles fabricated from the composition

Improved thermal stability and good adhesion to polyurethane foam are provided by polyphenylene ether thermoplastic blends containing a polystyrene and an aromatic amine. Preferred compositions additionally containing tackifier resins are described. These compositions are particularly useful for molding automobile interior parts.

Thermoplastic blends with improved adhesion and thermal stability

A process for preparing a polymer composition useful as a prepreg comprises (a) melt-mixing at least one thermoplastic polymer above the glass transition temperature or melt temperature of the thermoplastic polymer with either (i) an uncured epoxy resin or (ii) an epoxy curing agent or a catalyst; (b) melt-mixing above the glass transition temperature or melt temperature of the thermoplastic polymer, the other of (i) an uncured epoxy resin or (ii) an epoxy curing agent or a catalyst to form a substantially uncured but essentially curable and/or polymerizable composition; (c) optionally forming a shaped product from the melt-mixed composition of (b); and (d) fast-curing and/or fast-polymerizing the optionally formed shaped product.
