The present invention is directed to packaging films comprising a coextruded film having alternating individual layers of glass and plastic. These packaging films may be used for flexible food and pharmaceutical packaging. These packaging films provide excellent oxygen and moisture barrier protection while having superior flexibility.

One embodiment of the disclosure provides a method of fabricating a chamber component with a coating layer disposed on an interface layer with desired film properties. In one embodiment, a method of fabricating a coating material includes providing a base structure comprising an aluminum or silicon containing material, forming an interface layer on the base structure, wherein the interface layer comprises one or more elements from at least one of Ta, Al, Si, Mg, Y, or combinations thereof, and forming a coating layer on the interface layer, wherein the coating layer has a molecular structure of Si.sub.vY.sub.wMg.sub.xAl.sub.yO.sub.z. In another embodiment, a chamber component includes an interface layer disposed on a base structure, wherein the interface layer is selected from at least one of Ta, Al, Si, Mg, Y, or combinations thereof, and a coating layer disposed on the interface layer, wherein the coating layer has a molecular structure of Si.sub.vY.sub.wMg.sub.xAl.sub.yO.sub.z.

A strengthened glass container or vessel such as, but not limited to, vials for holding pharmaceutical products or vaccines in a hermetic and/or sterile state. The strengthened glass container undergoes a strengthening process that produces compression at the surface and tension within the container wall. The strengthening process is designed such that the tension within the wall is great enough to ensure catastrophic failure of the container, thus rendering the product unusable, should sterility be compromised by a through-wall crack. The tension is greater than a threshold central tension, above which catastrophic failure of the container is guaranteed, thus eliminating any potential for violation of pharmaceutical integrity.

A laminated or single layer glass cylinder and its method of making are disclosed. The laminated cylinder glass is a precursor component to enable making subsequent drawn tubing having high optical quality. The laminated cylinder glass may comprise a first layer of glass as a clad glass and a second layer of glass as a core glass. The second layer of glass may be bound to the first layer of glass. The second layer may have a higher CTE from about 5×10.sup.−7/° C. to about 100×10.sup.−7/° C. than the first layer of glass. The first layer and second layer of glass may have different softening points within about 200° C. of each other. In some embodiments, the first layer and second layer of glass may have different softening points from about 50° C. to about 200° C. of each other.

The present application discloses a ceramic preform, a method of making a ceramic preform and a metal matrix composite comprising a ceramic preform. In one exemplary embodiment, the ceramic preform comprises a ceramic compound compressed into the shape of a cylinder by rotational compression molding. The cylinder has an inner surface and an outer surface. A first liner may be attached to the inner surface of the cylinder and a second liner may attached to the outer surface of the cylinder. The metal matrix composite of the present application may be formed as a brake drum or a brake disc.

A multi-layered balloon is provided where each layer is formed such that each layer is made from tubing that optimizes the inner wall stretch thus providing maximum balloon strength. The high pressure, multi-layer balloon is provided with layers that allow for slipping, such that the balloon has a very high pressure rating and toughness, yet excellent folding characteristics. Methods for producing such multi-layer balloons using existing balloon forming equipment are also provided. The multi-layer balloons can have alternating structural and lubricating layers, or layers with low-friction surfaces. The multi-layer balloons are preferably manufactured using a variety of methods including nesting, co-extrusion, or a combination of nesting and co-extrusion. The multi-layer balloons have balloon layers having substantially similar, or the same, high degree of biaxial orientation of their polymer molecules such that each balloon layer of the multi-layer balloon will fail at approximately the same applied pressure.

A fire insulation precursor material formed of cement, in an amount of between 10-30% w/w; and an aluminium or magnesium hydroxide, huntite or hydromagnesite in an amount of between 60-90% w/w/. A fire insulation material is provided including the previously mentioned precursor material. Further described are methods of forming a fire insulation material and applications for such material in sheaths, duct coatings, cable trays and other elongate components.
