There is provided a laminate having a high adhesive strength between a polyethylene layer and a base material layer without using any anchor coat agent. A method for producing the laminate, including a step of extrusion laminating a resin composition including an ethylene-based polymer composition containing an ethylene-based polymer and a phosphorus-containing compound having a specific structure with a base material so that the resin composition and the base material directly contact each other, wherein the ethylene-based polymer contains at least one of a high-pressure processed low-density polyethylene and a copolymer of ethylene with an -olefin having 3 to 10 carbon atoms, and the ethylene-based polymer composition satisfies predetermined requirements.

A system for manufacturing a thermoplastic prepreg includes a double belt mechanism that is configured to compress a fiber mat, web, or mesh that is passed through the double belt mechanism, a resin applicator that is configured to apply monomers or oligomers to the fiber mat, web, or mesh, and a curing oven that is configured to effect polymerization of the monomers or oligomers and thereby form the thermoplastic polymer as the fiber mat, web, or mesh is moved through the curing oven. The double belt mechanism compresses the fiber mat, web, or mesh and the applied monomers or oligomers as the fiber mat, web, or mesh is passed through the curing oven so that the monomers or oligomers fully saturate the fiber mat, web, or mesh. Upon polymerization of the monomers or oligomers, the fiber mat, web, or mesh is fully impregnated with the thermoplastic polymer.

A catheter is made by coextruding first and second molten polymers, wherein the second molten polymer forms a flexible inner core and the first molten polymer forms exactly two bands on opposite sides of the inner core. The inner core is braided, and a third molten polymer extruded onto the braid to form a flexible jacket that encloses the braid, the bands and the inner core. The bands are more rigid than the inner core, and they provide preferential in-plane bending.
