Abstract:
A polymer composition includes: about 20 wt % to about 80 wt % of a polycarbonate polymer; about 1 wt % to about 20 wt % of a polycarbonate-siloxane copolymer; about 15 wt % to about 35 wt % of a reinforcing filler having a tensile modulus of at least about 150 GPa; and about 4 wt % to about 20 wt % of a flame retardant comprising phosphorous. The polymer composition demonstrates a flexural modulus in an amount equal to or greater than about 10 GPa. Methods of forming a polymer composition and blended thermoplastic compositions are also described.
Abstract:
A crosslinkable polyolefin composition includes: a) ≥60.0 wt. % and ≤99.0 wt. % of an ethylene alpha-olefin co-polymer; b) ≥1.0 wt. % and ≤35.0 wt. % of an ethylene-alpha-olefin-diene terpolymer; c) ≥0.1 wt. % and ≤5.0 wt. % of a crosslinking agent; with regard to the total weight of the polyolefin composition. A film includes the polyolefin composition. An encapsulated solar cell is encapsulated by at least two sealing layers each including such a film. In addition, a cured solar cell is obtained by subjecting the encapsulated solar cell under conditions of curing the sealing layers, a photovoltaic module includes the cured solar cell.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are blended thermoplastic compositions comprising at least one polycarbonate component, at least one impact modifier, at least one mineral filler, and at least one flame retardant. The resulting compositions can be used in the manufacture of articles requiring materials with high modulus, ultra-high ductility, good flow, thin wall flame retardancy and good thermal resistance. 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.
