Abstract: The invention relates to a Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) device for an injection molded product comprising layers of different components to reduce thermal shrinkage or expansion and failure of the RFID inlay due to the high temperatures during injection molding. The introduced device allows for a thin build and a flat, smooth injection molded product.

Abstract: A composite material, methods of producing it and articles manufactured therefrom. The composite material comprises a first component formed by a renewable polymer and a second component formed by a reinforcing material. The first component comprises a thermoplastic polymer selected from the group of biodegradable polyesters and mixtures thereof, and the second component comprises particles of a hydrophilic material, having a sieved size of less than 0.5 mm. The composite material further comprising regions of elasticity to provide for compostable objects and articles having properties of flexibility or semi-rigidity in at least one dimension. The flexible composite material can be used in thin-walled extruded articles, exhibiting increased flexibility or softness in transversal direction.
