Latest Patents
One of Tsai's latest patents is for a metallized multilayer packaging film. This invention features a metallized film substrate that includes a core layer made of a film-forming base polymer. It has a metal receiving skin layer of an ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) on the surface of the core layer. The film substrate contains a metal deposit, such as aluminum, on the EVOH copolymer surface. Additionally, it incorporates a polymeric low-temperature sealable coating made from a copolymer of about 10 to 35 wt. % of at least one α,β-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid with about 65 to 90 wt. % of ethylene, an alkyl acrylate or methacrylate, acrylonitrile, or mixtures thereof, on the surface of the metal deposit. For adhesion of the EVOH, the core layer may either be blended with a maleic anhydride modified polyolefin or have an adhesion-promoting tie layer of a maleic anhydride-modified polyolefin on a surface that contacts the EVOH.
Another significant invention by Tsai is a multilayer film structure, which further enhances the capabilities of packaging materials.
