A multi-layered laminate for producing membranes for electroacoustic transducers, comprises a first layer of a polyether ether ketone film having a heat of crystallisation of at least 15 J/g, a second layer (of a thermoplastic plastic film having a heat of crystallisation of no more than 5 J/g, and an adhesive layer arranged between the first and second layers. Alternatively, the first and second layers are defined by their shrinkage properties after 15 minutes at 200° C.: the first layer has shrinkage of more than 10% in at least one direction, and the second layer has shrinkage of less than 10% in the longitudinal and transverse directions. A laminate constructed in this manner exhibits lower fold formation when processed using multi-cavity thermoforming. The laminates are useful for the production of membranes for electroacoustic transducers.

Provided are a filling film and a method of manufacturing an organic light-emitting display apparatus by using the filling film. The filling film includes a filling material, a first releasing film attached to a surface of the filling film, a second releasing film attached to another surface of the filling film, and a supporting layer attached to the second releasing film. The bonding force between the second releasing film and the supporting layer is greater than the bonding force between the filling material and the second releasing film.

The polyester sheet in accordance with an aspect of the present invention contains crystals of polyester which is a polycondensate of polyvalent carboxylic acid and polyalcohol. The polyester sheet contains nano-oriented crystals which contain crystals of polyester in each of which a polymer chain is highly oriented and each of which has a crystal size of 50 nm or less. A heatproof temperature of the polyester sheet is higher than a temperature that is lower than an equilibrium melting point of the polyester by 80° C., and a melting point of the polyester sheet is higher than a temperature that is lower than the equilibrium melting point of the polyester by 40° C.

The invention relates to a multilayer biaxially oriented polyester film comprising a base layer B, an amorphous outer layer A and a further outer layer C, where this polyester film is suitable for lamination with metal sheets. The invention in particular relates to a polyester film which comprises (based on the mass of polyester) from 2 to 15% by weight of isophthalate-derived units in the base layer and which comprises more than 19% by weight of isophthalate-derived units in the amorphous layer A, and which has a silane-based coating on the outer layer A. The invention further relates to a process for the production of these films.

In accordance with the present invention, compositions are described which are useful, for example, for the preparation of metal-clad laminate structures, methods for the preparation thereof, and various uses therefor. Invention metal-clad laminate structures are useful, for example, in the multi-layer board (MLB) industry, in the preparation of burn-in test boards and high reliability boards, in applications where low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) is beneficial, in the preparation of boards used in down-hole drilling, and the like.
