Abstract
The present invention relates to new laminates formed from at least one ionomer layer including a metallized ionomer layer, one or more tie layers, and optionally a backing layer. The present invention also relates to new composite articles made from these laminates in combination with optional substrate materials.
Claims48
A laminate comprising:
- (a) a metallized ionomer layer;
- (b) a tie layer adjoined to the metal-containing surface of the ionomer layer.
A method of forming a composite article, the method comprising:
- (a) depositing a metal on an ionomer layer to form a metallized ionomer layer;
- (b) securing a tie layer to the metal-containing surface of the ionomer layer to form a laminate;
- and
- (c) securing a substrate layer to the laminate to form the composite article.

A composite article comprising:
- (a) a laminate comprising:
- (i) a metallized ionomer layer, and
- (ii) a tie layer adjoined to the metal-containing surface of the ionomer layer;
- and
- (b) a substrate;
- wherein the tie layer is disposed between the ionomer layer and the substrate.
3 more elements
A laminate comprising:
- (a) a metallized ionomer layer;
- (b) a tie layer adjoined to the metal-containing surface of the ionomer layer;
- and
- (c) a backing layer adjoining to the tie layer, wherein the backing layer comprises a blend of the tie-layer material with a substrate material, and wherein the substrate material comprises a C2-C10 alpha olefin.
