The present disclosure relates to extrusion-coated structural systems including at least one extruded profile member coupled to and extending outwardly from an extrusion-coated structural member, as well as methods of making and using the same. Structural systems of the present invention that include at least one extruded profile member may exhibit enhanced flexibility, functionality, and/or durability. Structural systems according to embodiments of the present invention can be suitable for use in a variety of applications, including in ready-to-assemble furniture or cabinetry applications or as building and construction materials such as wall board, flooring, trim, and the like.

A thick film and process to prepare polyethylene useful for the film are disclosed. Ethylene is polymerized in two reaction zones with a C-C&#x3b1;-olefin in the presence of a catalyst system comprising an activator, a supported bridged zirconium complex, and a supported non-bridged zirconium complex. The process yields medium density to linear low density polyethylene having a melt index from 0.20 to 1.0 dg/min. Thick films from the polyethylene have a superior combination of high impact strength and high modulus.
