Abstract: A bushing can include a load bearing substrate having a first major surface, an adhesive film overlying the first major surface, and a friction reducing layer overlying the adhesive film. A method can include extruding an adhesive film, laminating a friction reducing layer to a load bearing substrate with the adhesive film therebetween to form a composite, and shaping the composite to form a bushing. The adhesive film can include a first adhesive layer, such as and a fluoropolymer layer. The adhesive layer can include a modified ethylene tetrafluoroethylene, and the fluoropolymer layer can include an ethylene tetrafluoroethylene.

Abstract: The invention describes a carbon black particulate filled film, useful as a backsheet for a photovoltaic construct.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a polymer film including a first layer and a second layer. The first layer includes a first fluoropolymer and has a melting point less than 135° C. The second layer overlies the first layer and includes a second fluoropolymer. The second layer has a melting point greater than 135° C.

Abstract: Disclosed is an intercrosslinked multilayer polymeric article having at least one thermoplastic polymer layer intercrosslinked by UV radiation at the interface with a core layer of a crosslinkable polymer. The selection of the thermoplastic polymer and the crosslinkable polymer is such that a coextruded composite product of these materials has poor interlayer adhesion prior to radiation treatment. However, the interfacial intercrosslinking provides superior bonding between the layers. The same UV radiation for intercrosslinking typically can also cure the crosslinkable polymer to give the multilayer article excellent structural integrity. Also disclosed is a method for preparing an intercrosslinked multilayer polymeric article.

Abstract: A die block component for use in a punch and die assembly is described, having a plurality of grooves in the die face. The block and assembly are useful for cutting articles from sheets and film of synthetic polymeric resins while avoiding the contamination of the article with severed particles and slivers.
