- Each of the layers is in abutting relationship with and fused to the immediate adjacent layers, and preferably the layers alternate between film and foam.
- the film layers comprise a solid, not-expanded thermoplastic resinous material typically having a thickness from about 0.10 microns ( ⁇ m) to about 100 ⁇ m, preferably from about 0.5 ⁇ m to about 50 ⁇ m and more preferably from about 1 ⁇ m to about 30 ⁇ m.
- the foam layers comprise an expanded cellular thermoplastic resinous foam material typically having a thickness from about 10 ⁇ m to about 1,000 ⁇ m, preferably from about 50 ⁇ m to about 500 ⁇ m and more preferably from about 75 ⁇ m to about 300 ⁇ m.
- the layers are interdigitated, i.e., interleaved, and in a generally parallel relationship with one another.
- the cross-sectional thickness of the multilayer foam-film composite structure of this invention is dependent upon the number of layers and the thickness capacity of the extrusion equipment, but typically the thickness range is from about 10 ⁇ m to about 25 millimeters (mm), preferably from about 10 ⁇ m to about 5 mm and more preferably from about 100 ⁇ m to about 2 mm.
- the cells of the foam can be open or closed.

- the structures are prepared by co-extrusion of at least two streams of the same or dissimilar thermoplastic materials.
- Co-extrusion or simultaneous extrusion of two or more synthetic resinous materials is well-known in the art and has been used for preparing sheet or film containing many layers, for example, 50, 100 or several hundred layers. This method is illustrated in USP 3,565,985, 3,557,265 and 3,884,606.
- Co-extrusion can be broadly described as a method for preparing a composite stream of interdigitated diverse synthetic resinous materials in which at least one of the materials comprises a thermoplastic resinous composition containing at least one blowing or expansion agent, comprising providing at least a first stream of heat-plastified synthetic resinous material and a second stream of heat-plastified thermoplastic material neither of which streams contain blowing or expansion agents, adding to at least of the heat-plastified streams at least one blowing agent under a pressure which is sufficient to substantially inhibit activity of the blowing agent, dividing each of the streams into a plurality of first substreams and a plurality of second substreams, respectively, combining the substreams to form a composite stream having the first substreams and the second substreams interdigitated, and forming the stream into a desired configuration having at least one major surface in which the layers of the composite stream lie generally parallel to a major surface of the desired configuration.
- the multilayer film-foam composite structure is subjected to drawing (mono-, bi- or multi-axial) while in the molten state to achieve macroscopic cellular orientation.

- polyurethanes polyurethanes
- These and other polymers can be used either as an expandable polymeric composition, or a film-forming composition, or the same polymeric material can be employed for each purpose, e.g., polystyrene can be employed as both an expandable polymer and as a film-forming polymer in the same multilayer foam-film composite structure.

- the blowing agent will be incorporated into the resin composition which is to be foamed in amounts ranging from 1 to 100 parts by weight of blowing or expansion agent per 100 parts of polymer.
- the addition of a small amount of expansion agent, e.g., 0.1 to 1 part of expansion agent per 100 parts of polymer, to the film-forming composition has been found to improve compatibility and adhesion between the foam and film layers. Film quality is also improved by practicing this variant.
- the blowing agent must be incorporated into its melt stream under a pressure which is sufficient to inhibit its activation, that is, to inhibit foaming of the melt stream during the incorporation of the expansion agent and subsequent processing of the composition until the stream is expressed through the co-extrusion die.
- this pressure should be at least 500 psig and is preferably at least 1000 psig.
- each foam layer is typically in the range of about 0.03 to about 0.8, preferably in the range of about 0.10 to about 0.5, grams per cubic centimeter (g/cc) as measured by ASTM D 3575-93 W-B.

- the skin layer can be non-adhering such that it can be removed from the rest of the structure after manufacture.
- the multi-layer film-foam composite structure can incorporate one or more functionalities such as a gas barrier layer (e.g., a film layer of ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer or polyvinyl idene chloride) or an oxygen scavenger formulation.
- Additives which are commonly incorporated into expandable polymer compositions such as catalysts or accelerators, surfactants, flame retardant additives, porosity control agents, antioxidants, colorants, pigments, fillers and the like can be incorporated into the composite of the invention.
- Such additives will generally be used in conventional amounts.
- the multi-layer film-foam composite structures of this invention have a multiplicity of potential uses, and they provide certain advantages over structures more conventionally used in these applications.

- One component contains a chemical foaming agent through gear pumps into a two layer A/B feedblock and a series of two channel layer multipliers similar in design to those described in USP 5,202,074.
- the multiplied layered feed-stream is then forwarded into a die having cross-sectional dimensions of 7.6 x 0.2 centimeters (cm) (width x thickness).
- the expanded foam material is extruded onto a chilled casting roll equipped with an air knife. The speed of the casting roll is varied in order to draw the sample in the machine direction and orient the cellular structure. Overall extrusion rate is held constant at approximately 2.3 kilograms per hour (kg/hr),
- Extrudates are subsequently prepared and characterized for cell size using a stereo-optical microscope.
- Average cell size with respect to the machine (length), width and thickness directions (x, y and z, respectively) is determined via manual cell count, and an anisotropy ratio is expressed as the ratio of cell sizes in the x and z directions, respectively.
- Average cell size of the undrawn examples is obtained by averaging the dimensions in the three orthogonal directions. Density is calculated in accordance with ASTM D3575-93 W-B, and tensile properties are determined by testing die cut samples (dimensions 22 mm x 4.8 mm x sheet thickness at a strain rate of 100%/minute in an Instron Universal Testing machine. All testing is conducted at ambient conditions (about 23 C and atmospheric pressure).
- TPO Blend is 75/25 w/w mixture of two polypropytlene resins, PF-814 and 5 Adflex OF- 200, both supplied by Basell Inc.
- Il MFR measured according to ASTM D 1238 and 2.16 kg. Pro-fax and Adflex measured at 230C; AFFINITY, LDPE 503A measured at 190C; and EVAL L171 and E171 easured at 210C.
- TPO Blend is 75/25 w/w mixture of two polypropytlene resins, PF-814 and Adflex OF-200, both supplied by Bassell Inc.
