Quantification of UV protecting additives in ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer encapsulants for photovoltaic modules with pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

Reliability of polymeric encapsulants is being assured using suitable additives. Especially UV absorbers and UV stabilizers are important to protect the encapsulants from solar radiation. Identifying the additives and their quantities is essential for quality control and lifetime predictions. In thi...
