A composite material having at least two layers of reinforcing fibers impregnated with a curable resin; an interlaminar region formed between adjacent layers of reinforcing fibers; and a combination of polymeric toughening particles and fire-retardant particles in the interlaminar region.

There is provided a co-injection molded multilayer structure comprising a barrier layer and outer layers laminated to contact with the barrier layer on its both sides, wherein the barrier layer is made of a resin composition (X) comprising an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (A) and an alkali metal salt (B) of a higher fatty acid, having a melting point of 250° C. or lower; the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (A) has an ethylene unit content of 20 to 60 mol % and a saponification degree of 90% or more, and a content of the alkali metal salt (B) in the barrier layer is 50 to 1500 ppm in terms of metal atoms; and the outer layers are made of a resin composition (Y) comprising an unmodified high-density polyethylene (F) and a maleic anhydride-modified polyethylene (G), and a maleic anhydride modification rate relative to the whole resin composition (Y) is 0.005 to 0.1 wt %. This co-injection molded multilayer structure has excellent adhesiveness, so that its oxygen barrier performance can be maintained even after being subjected to an impact due to falling or the like.

An object of the present invention is to provide a moisture barrier laminate including a moisture trapping layer that maximizes its moisture trapping performance and exhibits an excellent moisture barrier property. The moisture barrier laminate of the present invention includes a gas barrier film substrate A having a gas barrier layer a1 and a moisture trapping layer B formed on the film substrate A as a base. On a surface of the moisture trapping layer B opposite to the film substrate A, a protective resin layer C having a moisture permeability in a range of 4.0×10 to 5.0×10.sup.4 g/m.sup.2.Math.day at 40° C. and 90% RH is laminated.

An improved sheet for making a three-dimensional article for holding food, such as a food tray, and a method of making a three-dimensional article. The sheet comprises a substrate and a laminate film. The laminate film may comprise a ceramic film and a copolymer layer. The copolymer layer can repair any cracks that occur in the ceramic film when the sheet is thermoformed. The food tray is considered a single material that is recyclable.

An ink supply tube includes: a first layer that is made of an unmodified ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer resin and is in contact with ink; a second layer that is made of a modified ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer resin and is formed on an outer periphery of the first layer; a third layer that is made of a polyamide resin or a basic functional group-modified polypropylene resin and is formed on an outer periphery of the second layer; a fourth layer that is made of an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin having a gas barrier property and is formed on an outer periphery of the third layer; and a fifth layer that is made of an acid functional group-modified polypropylene resin and is formed on an outer periphery of the fourth layer.

A film stack comprises an oriented first layer comprising polyvinyl alcohol disposed on an oriented second layer comprising naphthalene dicarboxylate containing copolyester resin. The oriented second layer has in-plane birefringence Δnxy<0.02.

A package comprises: a sterile barrier packaging film; self-sterilizing components comprising: a plurality of chlorite ions and water, wherein the self-sterilizing components are substantially free of an energy-activated catalyst and of an acid-releasing compound; a package interior formed by hermetically sealing the sterile barrier packaging film; and a headspace within the package interior comprising carbon dioxide present in an amount of greater than or equal to 5% by volume of the headspace. When the package is exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light having a wavelength of 254 nm, the chlorite ions react with the water to generate chlorine dioxide (ClO.sub.2), which is released into the headspace. In the absence of any UV light, there is not chlorine dioxide (ClO.sub.2) generation.
