Abstract
The effect of glass bead and glass fiber on the enhancement of dimensional stability in poly(ethylene naphthalate) (PEN) flexible substrate for photovoltaic devices has been studied. It was found that the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and the optical transmittance decreased with increasing inorganic filler content. In addition to filler contents, the size and size distribution of fillers are the other important factors to improve CTE and optical transmittance of PEN film. Our results showed that the optimum filler content was found to be about 5 wt% to enhance the dimensional stability of PEN by more than 50% with maintaining the optical transmittance over 85% for the flexible substrate.
