Abstract: Disclosed is a multi-compartment container including features that permit the rupture or opening of a seal between compartments to enable mixing of the materials within each compartment, as well as a vapor permeable region to permit vapor to escape after mixing.

Abstract: Molded articles which include at least one layer of a fluoropolymer and at least one layer of a thermoplastic polymer. More particularly, molded bottles having a layer of a fluoropolymer attached to a layer of a polyethylene via an intermediate adhesive tie layer. The molded articles are preferably formed such that the fluoropolymer layer is either the innermost layer or central layer of the multilayered structure. The adhesives that are employed are useful in adhering layers of dissimilar polymeric materials that are otherwise incompatible and achieve a significantly improved interlayer bond strength between a fluoropolymer layer and a thermoplastic polymer layer.

Abstract: A method for protecting an electro-optical device includes the steps of providing an electro-optical device including a first electrode, a second electrode, and an emitting layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, where at least one of the electrodes is optically transparent; and sealing at least a portion of the electro-optical device within a casing formed of a fluoropolymer, preferably a polychlorotrifluoroethylene film. Where the electro-optical device is provided with at least one wire lead extending from a peripheral portion of the electro-optical device, the method includes the step of protecting the wire lead from detrimental environmental conditions using a fluoropolymer. An environmentally sealed electro-optical device is also provided, including an electro-optical device and a fluoropolymer, preferably a polychlorotrifluoroethylene film, protecting at least a portion of the electro-optical device.
