Barrier film constructions and methods of making same

A barrier film including a substrate; a base polymer layer adjacent to the substrate; an oxide layer adjacent to the base polymer layer; a adhesion-modifying layer adjacent to the oxide layer; and a top coat polymer layer adjacent to the adhesion-modifying layer. An optional inorganic layer can be applied over the top coat polymer layer. The inclusion of a adhesion-modifying layer provides for enhanced resistance to moisture and improved peel strength adhesion of the top coat polymer layer to the underlying barrier stack layers.

Photovoltaic devices with encapsulating barrier film

Encapsulated device including a photovoltaic cell and a composite film overlaying at least a portion of the photovoltaic cell, the composite film further including a substrate, a base (co)polymer layer on a major surface of the substrate, an oxide layer on the base (co)polymer layer, and a protective (co)polymer layer derived from a silane precursor compound on the oxide layer.

Barrier film, method of making the barrier film, and articles including the barrier film

A barrier film that includes a substrate, a first polymer layer on a major surface of the substrate, an oxide layer on the first polymer layer, and a second polymer layer on the oxide layer. At least one of the first or second polymer layers includes a siloxane reaction product of a secondary or tertiary amino-functional silane having at least two silane groups. A method of making the barrier film and articles and a barrier assembly including the barrier film are also disclosed.
