Photooxidation and photostabilization of EVA and cross-linked EVA

2016

Abstract Cross-linked EVA copolymers are widely used as encapsulant material for photovoltaic modules in order to protect the solar cell from the dangerous and degrading environmental factors like moisture and UV radiations. The protection of these modules from photooxidation is the main important objective in their production. In this work, samples of cured EVA in presence of different types of stabilizers have been photooxidized to better understand the photooxidation behavior and the effects of these stabilizers on the mechanical properties. All the results obtained on the cross-linked samples have been compared with those obtained in the same conditions and with the same formulations wi…
