Oligomers are prepared by heating solid ethylene-propylene rubber in container that retains solid and permits liquid product to flow out as it is formed. Molecular weight and viscosity of liquids can be predetermined by process temperature. Copolymers have low viscosity for given molecular weight.
Silicon monoxide (SiO) coated silicon solar cells covered with fluorinated ethylene-propylene-A (FEP-A) were irradiated by 1-MeV electrons in vacuum. The effect of irradiation on the light transmittance of FEP-A was checked by measuring the short-circuit current of the cells while in vacuum after each dose increment, immediately after the irradiation, and again after a minimum elapsed time of 16 hr. The results indicated no apparent loss in transmission due to irradiation of FEP-A and no delamination from the SiO surface while the cells were in vacuum, but embrittlement of FEP-A occurred at the accumulated dose.
Fluorinated ethylene propylene film (FEP, 0.0127 cm thick) was heat and pressure laminated to silicon solar cells as a low cost substitute for quartz covers. The FEP-C, treated on one side for bonding, was compared to FEP-A, an untreated FEP. With FEP-A, a silane adhesion promoter was applied to the cells. The FEP-C covers delaminated during accelerated temperature-humidity testing and Earth environmental exposure testing; FEP-A covers were unchanged. No differences were observed in peel tests, but FEP-A is superior in its resistance to tearing and in retention of transmission properties after exposure to ultraviolet radiation.
