Abstract:
Laminated structures comprising a (i) glass layer, (ii) first alkoxysilane-containing polyolefin (PO) layer, (iii) catalyst layer, and (iv) second alkoxysilane-containing polyolefin layer, each layer having opposing facial surfaces, are prepared by a method comprising the steps of applying in adhering contact: A. One facial surface of the first PO layer to one facial surface of the glass layer; B. The catalyst layer to the facial surface of the first PO layer opposite the facial surface of the first PO layer in adhering contact with the glass layer; and C. The second PO layer to the facial surface of the catalyst layer opposite the facial surface of the catalyst layer in adhering contact with the first PO layer.
Abstract:
An electronic device module comprises: A. At least one electronic device, e.g., a solar cell, and B. A polymeric material in intimate contact with at least one surface of the electronic device, the polymeric material comprising an ethylene multi-block copolymer. Typically, the polyolefin material is an ethylene multi-block copolymer with a density of less than about 0,90 grams per cubic centimeter (g/cc). The polymeric material can fully encapsulate the electronic device, or it can be laminated to one face surface of the device. Optionally, the polymeric material can further comprise a scorch inhibitor, and the copolymer can remain uncrosslinked or it can be crosslinked.
Abstract:
Compositions having good impact performance can be made from a thermoplastic (e.g., a polyolefin such as polypropylene or HDPE) and an ethylene multi-block copolymer. The compositions are easily molded and often have particular utility in making, for example, automotive facia, parts and other household articles.

Abstract:
A composite is formed by inserting a ceramic powder into a channel of a preform to form a ceramic powder filled preform. The ceramic powder has at least one reactive ceramic powder. The preform is a ceramic, ceramic-metal composite, metal or combination thereof that has walls that define a plurality of channels each channel having an opening at a surface of the preform. The ceramic powder filled preform is infiltrated with a molten metal to form the ceramic-metal body, which has at least one ceramic phase that is a reaction product of the reactive ceramic and molten infiltrated metal.
