Abstract
A reactive pressure sensitive adhesive composition is disclosed. A tape formed using the reactive pressure sensitive adhesive is also disclosed. In its cured state, the pressure sensitive adhesive shows superior mechanical and electrical properties compared to conventional, non-curable charge collection tapes. The tape has a cure profile pre-selected to correspond to that of a photovoltaic cell fabrication process, such that curing can take place during cell fabrication and may occur simultaneously with one or more other curing steps employed in cell fabrication.
