Optical Durability of Contemporary PV Encapsulants Through Artificial UV Weathering

Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, EarlyView.
Encapsulant choice can be used to mitigate UV‐induced degradation in modern silicon photovoltaic modules, but this strategy is only effective if encapsulants are durable under UV weathering. This study identifies optical changes to 14 commercial encapsulants as a function of UV weathering and identifies that, while changes to material transmittance ...

Copolymer Synthesis of N‐Vinylacetamide and 2‐Methylene‐1,3‐Dioxepane Provides a New Degradable Polymer

Journal of Polymer Science, Volume 63, Issue 6, Page 1306-1318, 15 March 2025.
ABSTRACT N‐vinylamides, especially noncyclic N‐vinylacetamide (NVA), have been used in various applications such as biomaterials, surfactants, and hydrogels. However, their potential to copolymerize with cyclic ketene acetal (CKA) to create degradable polymers is underexplored.

Electron Transfer Dissociation and Synchrotron UV Photodissociation of Trapped Sodiated Ions Produced From Polyacrylates by Electrospray Ionization

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rationale Poly (acrylates)s can be distinguished from one another by the nature of their side chains. From model poly (acrylates)s, the purpose of this work was to evaluate the contribution of alternative activation techniques to the collisional activation, based on ion–ion and ion–photon interactions.
