The commercial PVF film Tedlar® was first trademarked by DuPont 50 years ago. Since that time it has established itself as a polymer with excellent resistance to sunlight degradation (UV resistance), thermal stability, chemical attack, water absorption, and solvents. These properties, together with a high solar energy transmittance rate, have led to it becoming established worldwide as the number one choice for the backsheets of photovoltaic solar panels, and a fire-retardent coating used in aircraft. This book is the first and only handbook that describes polyvinyl fluoride preparation, technology, processing, fabrication and applications - making it essential reading for engineers and scientists working in industry sectors where PVF is utilized. Complete guide to the applications of polyvinyl fluoride in photovoltaics, aerospace, signage, etc. . Technology guide for processing and fabrication of PVF films. . Reference for properties and characteristics of PVF films . The only book available that focuses on PVF - properties, processing and applications INDICE: Preface PART I Monomer and Polymer Preparation 1. Introduction and History 2.
