Ashlee Aiello, Stefan Mitterhofer, Jan Obrzut, Karissa Jensen, Patryk Wasik, Chiara Barretta, Gernot Oreski, Stephanie Watson, Li Piin Sung, Xiaohong Gu
Accelerated aging was used to assess environmental degradation in emerging co-extruded polypropylene (PP)-based backsheets under three different environmental conditions (65 °C/20 % relative humidity (RH), 75 °C/20 % RH, and 75 °C/50 % RH). Although

Surface photooxidation of polypropylene-based photovoltaic backsheets: A comprehensive spectroscopic investigation

December 8, 2024
