Abstract:
A composite article includes a multilayer barrier assembly bonded to a substrate, and a top polymer layer bonded to the multilayer barrier assembly opposite the substrate. The multilayer barrier assembly comprises a base polymer layer, and a base inorganic barrier layer. The base polymer layer comprises a polymerized reaction product of polymerizable components comprising at least one di(meth)acrylate represented by the formula. Each R1 independently represents H or methyl; R2 and R3 independently represent an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms or R2 and R3 may together form an alkylene group having from 2 to 7 carbon atoms; and R4 represents an alkyl group having from 1 to 12 carbon atoms. Methods of making the same are also disclosed.

Polymers derived from such compounds. Nanoparticles, substrates, such as glass or ceramic substrates, or both nanoparticles and substrates, having such compounds affixed thereto. Articles containing at least one of such polymers, nanoparticles, substrates, or compounds.
Abstract:
Encapsulated device including a photovoltaic cell and a composite film overlaying at least a portion of the photovoltaic cell, the composite film further including a substrate, a base (co)polymer layer on a major surface of the substrate, an oxide layer on the base (co)polymer layer, and a protective (co)polymer layer derived from a silane precursor compound on the oxide layer
Abstract:
Barrier assemblies including ultrathin barrier laminates and methods of making the barrier assemblies are provided. A barrier assembly includes a thermoplastic polymer skin layer having opposite first and second major surfaces, and a barrier stack coated on the first major surface of the thermoplastic polymer skin layer to form an integral protective layer having a thickness no greater than about 0.5 mil (about 12.7 microns). The removable carrier film has a major surface releasably attached to the second major surface of the thermoplastic polymer skin layer. In some cases, the removal of the carrier film results in ultrathin barrier laminates.
