  • Patent number: 12427754
    Abstract: A multicomponent dielectric film includes overlapping dielectric layers and outer layers that have a higher surface energy compared to the overlapping dielectric layers, the overlapping dielectric layers including at least a first polymer material, a second polymer material, and optionally a third polymer material, adjoining dielectric layers defining a generally planar interface therebetween which lies generally in an x-y plane of an x-y-z coordinate system, the interfaces between the layers delocalizing the charge build up in the layers.

  • Patent number: 12285931
    Abstract: A polymeric film, sheet, or extrusion coating is formed as a multilayered structure having at least one A layer and at least one B layer. The polymeric film, sheet, or extrusion coating is able to include at least 30% recycled content resin while also exhibiting improved stiffness and strength relative to films with purely virgin polymers. One embodiment of the present invention further presents improved oxygen barrier properties relative to existing films, sheets, or extrusion coatings. Due to the strong structural properties, the polymeric film, sheet, or extrusion coating allows for the inclusion of recycled content into applications where recycled content has previously not been able to be included, such as flexible food, pharmaceutical, or cosmetics packaging.

  • Publication number: 20250046521
    Abstract: A multilayered dielectric film includes a plurality of nanolayers, with at least one first type of layer including traditional dielectric films and at least one second type of layer including high heat stability polymers. The consultant layered film demonstrates an improved storage modulus and decreased dissipation factor at high temperatures. The at least one first type of layer and the at least one second type of layer differ in dielectric permittivity by a factor of between approximately 0.5 and approximately 1.5 times.

  • Publication number: 20250018696
    Abstract: A multicomponent structure includes a substrate having a plurality of fiber-like reinforcement materials embedded in a matrix material. The reinforcement materials have a rectangular cross-section defined in part by the matrix material and extend a length of the multicomponent structure. In one embodiment, the multicomponent structure includes at least one recyclate.
