Method and apparatus for producing multilayer plastic articles

A method of making a multilayer plastic article comprising the steps of:

• providing first and second diverse thermoplastic materials;
• coextruding via a coextrusion feedblock device a first composite stream comprised of discrete, generally planar and parallel layers of said first and second diverse thermoplastic materials;
• manipulating via one or more interfacial surface generators said first composite stream to form a second composite stream having an increased number of layers of substantially uniform thickness;
• and
• directly injection molding said second composite stream into an article having a desired configuration so as to form said multilayer plastic article.
