Abstract: A multilayer film can comprise: a plurality of layers, preferably 4 layers to 128 layers, comprising: a polymer A layer comprising a polycarbonate copolymer and a polymer B layer comprising a semi-crystalline polyester; wherein a differential solubility parameter (??AB) of polymer A towards polymer B (??AB) is greater than or equal to 2.6 MPa1/2; and an interdiffusion region between each polymer A and polymer B. The multilayer film has a dynamic flexure of greater than or equal to 200,000 cycles, as determine by bending 180° on a 10 mm radius cylinder at a rate of 1 hertz. The multilayer film has a total thickness of 40 ?m to 70 ?m, a transmission at 360 nm to 750 nm of greater than or equal to 89% and a haze of less than or equal to 1%.

Abstract: Methods of grafting a liquid crystalline coating onto a substrate, and articles comprising a substrate with a liquid crystalline coating are disclosed. The liquid crystalline coatings can be formed by (a) applying a primer layer comprising a Type II photoinitiator to a surface of the substrate, then (b) applying a coating mixture that comprises one or more liquid crystalline monomers to the surface of the substrate, and then (c) irradiating the coating mixture to form the liquid crystalline coating. The coating mixture can further comprise a second amount of a Type II photoinitiator. The methods can be performed in open air, at room temperature, or at ambient pressure, and the resulting liquid crystalline coatings can exhibit improved adhesive properties to the substrate.
