Multilayer polymer sheets
Multilayer polymer sheets are provided, as well as related methods, systems, and appliances.
Low carbon footprint thermoplastic films including recycled materials
A thermoplastic film includes a core layer having a recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) based resin having an intrinsic viscosity of greater than about 0.7 and having a polydispersity index of greater than about 3.0. The thermoplastic film comprises about 90% to about 100% by weight of the recycled PET resin.
Compositions and films comprising polylactic acid polymer, polyvinyl acetate polymer and plasticizer
A composition is described comprising semicrystalline polylactic acid polymer; polyvinyl acetate polymer having a glass transition temperature (Tg) of at least 25° C.; plasticizer; and optionally amorphous polylactic acid polymer. In another embodiment the composition further comprises nucleating agent. Also described are films comprising the composition as well as articles, such as a tape or sheet, comprising the film described herein and a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive disposed on the film.

Liquid crystal polyester resin for laminate, liquid crystal polyester resin composition, laminate, and liquid crystal polyester resin film
A liquid crystal polyester resin for laminate, wherein, in a molecular weight distribution of an absolute molecular weight measured by a gel permeation chromatograph/light scattering method, an area fraction of a portion having an absolute molecular weight of 10,000 or less is 10 to 40%, and an area fraction of a portion having an absolute molecular weight of 50,000 or more is 3 to 20%, relative to 100% of the total peak area.
Methods for making dental aligners from multilayer sheets
A multilayer sheet comprising first, second, and third layers is provided. The first layer consists of a co-polyester having an elongation at break of greater than 70%. The second layer consists of a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer having an elongation at break of greater than 200% and a hardness of about 60 A to about 85 D. The first layer has a hardness greater than the hardness of the second layer. A mold is provided and the multilayer sheet is thermoformed over the mold to form a plurality of tooth-receiving cavities configured to receive and position a patient's teeth from a first arrangement toward a second arrangement. Excess material is trimmed from the thermoformed multilayer sheet to form the multilayer dental aligner.
