Abstract
The invention concerns composites with excellent barrier properties to gases and water vapor. Such composites can be used, e.g., in foodstuff packaging or as technical membranes. The outstanding barrier effect is achieved by arranging on a substrate material, which, for example, may consist of biodegradable polymers, at least two films. At least one of these films consists of an organic-inorganic hybrid polymer (ORMOCER), at least one further film of a further barrier material or of a substrate material.
