Development of a Method of Producing Etch Resistant Wax Patterns on Solar Cells. Quarterly Technical Report No. 2, 1 April 1979-30 June 1979

摘要

Progress during the second quarter of a one-year program to investigate the production of patterned etch resistant wax coatings on solar cell substrates by printing is described. The master molds produced in the past have been used to produce an assortment of printing plates composed of different materials having properties which are considered to be advantagious for printing hot or cold waxes onto hard solar cell surfaces. The first printing device used is now being replaced by a more advanced apparatus fabricated using parts taken from water handling equipment. The new device constructed will afford greater flexibility in temperature control and printing plate manipulation. In addition to the Multiwax 195M used in the early part of this program, Apiezon W and glycol phthalate waxes are now also under study. (ERA citation 05:015158)
