  • Patent number: 10265924
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are an article and a method for preparing the article. The article comprises at least one layer A comprising fibers embedded in a composition comprising at least one vinyl ester resin; and a layer B comprising from 40 to 100% by weight relative to the total weight of said layer B of at least one thermoplastic polyester; from 0 to 60% by weight relative to the total weight of said layer B of a polyolefin composition; said composition comprising at least one polyolefin; and from 0 to 20% by weight relative to the total weight of said layer B of at least one additive selected from compatibilizing agent and/or impact modifier. Layer B may comprise a blow-molded layer, an injected-molded layer, an extruded-thermoformed layer, a sheet-extruded layer, a pipe-extruded layer, and an injection stretch blow-molded layer. Layer A may be in contact with layer B.
