  • Publication number: 20120237746
    Abstract: A multi-layer polymeric film having an “A” layer and a “B” layer. The “A” layer includes a first polymer and a first inclusion substantially disposed therein. The first inclusion is a first material that has a higher elastic modulus than the first polymer. The “B” layer includes a second polymer and a second inclusion substantially disposed therein. The second inclusion is a second material that has a higher elastic modulus than the second polymer. Methods of forming a multi-layer film are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20120237743
    Abstract: A multi-layer film that includes at least one polymeric skin layer and polymeric “A” layer is provided. The polymeric “A” layer is formed from a composition that includes a soft or base polymer matrix and a hard polymer substantially disposed therein to form a reinforcing structure in the polymer matrix. The multi-layer film may also include a polymeric “B” layer that has a hard polymer substantially disposed therein. Methods of forming a multi-layer film are also provided.
