Abstract: According to the present invention there are obtained improved laminate structures comprising a substrate layer of a thermoplastic resin and a layer of crosslinked carbonate polymer on one or more surface areas. These structures have an excellent combination of properties, particularly in the areas of abrasion resistance, adhesion of the layers, weatherability (resistance to UV radiation, humidity, temperature), solvent resistance, hardness, impact strength, color, thermoformability, ignition resistance and recyclability of the article and scrap formed. In a preferred embodiment, the crosslinking in the crosslinked carbonate polymer layer is provided by crosslinking moieties, preferably arylcyclobutene moieties, which are terminally located relative to the precrosslinked carbonate polymer molecule chains.
