    Abstract: An integrated method for mesophase pitch and petrochemicals production. The method including supplying crude oil to a reactor vessel; heating the crude oil in the reactor vessel to a predetermined temperature for a predetermined amount of time; reducing asphaltene content in the crude oil by allowing polymerization reactions to occur in the reactor vessel at an elevated pressure in the absence of oxygen; producing a three-phase upgraded hydrocarbon product comprising gas, liquid, and solid hydrocarbon components, where the liquid hydrocarbon component comprises deasphalted oil and the solid hydrocarbon component comprises mesophase pitch; separating the gas, liquid, and solid hydrocarbon components; directly utilizing the liquid hydrocarbon component for petrochemicals production; and directly utilizing the solid hydrocarbon component for carbon artifact production.

    Abstract: Photovoltaic modules include a front sheet, a back sheet, a photovoltaic layer, a first encapsulant layer, and a second encapsulant layer. The front sheet is made of or includes a composite of a thermoplastic material and a nanoparticle filler dispersed in the thermoplastic material. The thermoplastic material is a poly(methyl methacrylate) or a polycarbonate. The nanoparticle filler may include nanoparticles such as silica nanoparticles, titania nanoparticles, zirconia nanoparticles, zinc oxide nanoparticles, and combinations thereof, for example. The photovoltaic layer is interposed between the front sheet and the back sheet and includes at least one photovoltaic cell. The first encapsulant layer is interposed between the front sheet and the at least one photovoltaic cell. The second encapsulant layer is interposed between the at least one photovoltaic cell and the back sheet.
