Extrudable oriented polymer composites
A novel tubular or profile shapes of co-extruded multilayer polymers. These materials contain tens to thousands of layers of milli-, micro- to nano-polymer layers. These new shapes contain contiguous layers of milli- to nano-polymer layers in three dimensions and these contiguous layers may be twisted or turned to further expand the potential microlayer geometries.
1. A method for creating multilayered products comprising merging multiple streams to form continuous layers without weld lines of a tubular, annular or profile microlayered composite.
2. A method according to claim 1 , wherein said tubular microlayered composite contains flakes.
3. A method according to claim 1 , wherein said tubular microlayered composite contains metal/conductive particles, fibers or flakes.
4. A method according to claim 1 , wherein said tubular microlayered composite contains clay particles.
5. A method according to claim 1 , wherein said tubular microlayered composite contains nanocellulose fibers or particles.
