Patent number: 11498316Abstract: Composite film (1) for closing a container (10) by sealing the composite film (1) against a circumferential sealing surface (11) of the container (10) or of a cap ring (12) to be connected to the container (10). The composite film (1) comprises an outer support layer (30) made of a metal film and an inner multilayer membrane (20) laminated to the outer support layer (30) using a bonding layer (28). The membrane (20) has a consecutive layer structure from the outside to the inside consisting of a backbone layer (21) made of polypropylene, an intermediate layer (23) made of a partially crystalline polyamide and a cohesively breakable peeling layer (25) made of polypropylene, polyethylene and talc, wherein between the intermediate layer (23) and the backbone layer (21) as well as between the intermediate layer (23) and the peeling layer (25) there is arranged a tie layer (22, 24) made of a maleic acid anhydride grafted polypropylene.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2018Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: AMCOR FLEXIBLES SINGEN GMBHInventors: Christoph Dietrich, Steven Welvaert, Bert De Schoenmaker

Publication number: 20130248463Abstract: A method for fabricating a micro- or nanofibrous filter is described. The method comprises obtaining at least a first carrier substrate, providing adhesive on at least a first carrier substrate, heating the adhesive above its melting temperature for inducing an interaction of at least part of the adhesive with the at least a first carrier substrate and then cooling below the melting temperature of the adhesive thus creating at least one adhesive carrier substrate. Thereafter, a layer of micro- or nanofibres is provided on the adhesive-side of the at least one adhesive carrier substrate to form a further structure. The further structure is then brought above the melting temperature of the adhesive for inducing an interaction between the adhesive and the micro- or nanofibres. Finally the temperature is again reduced below the melting temperature of the adhesive thus obtaining the micro- or nanofibrous filter.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2011Publication date: September 26, 2013Applicant: UNIVERSITEIT GENTInventors: Philippe Westbroek, Bert De Schoenmaker
