Abstract:
The present invention relates to a multilayer structure comprising: a tie layer based on a graft polymer resulting from the polymerization of at least one alkyl (meth)acrylate in the presence of a polyolefin and directly attached to the latter; and a layer of a polymer chosen from polyolefins, acrylic polymers and fluoropolymers. The polymerization of the alkyl (meth)acrylate in the presence of the polyolefin may be carried out in an extruder in which the polyolefin is in the melt. A radical initiator, such as a peroxide, is also added. The thickness of this structure may be of the order of 100 nullm up to several mm or cm. The present invention also relates to a structure comprising, in this order: a layer of a polymer chosen from polyolefins, acrylic polymers and fluoropolymers; a layer of the aforementioned tie; and a layer of a polymer chosen from polyolefins, acrylic polymers and fluoropolymers; the layers adhering to one another. Preferred structures are those in which the layers on each side of the tie are different. The present invention also relates to a structure comprising, in this order: a layer of a polymer chosen from polyolefins, acrylic polymers and fluoropolymers; a layer of the aforementioned tie; a layer of a polymer chosen from polyolefins, acrylic polymers and fluoropolymers; a layer of the aforementioned tie; and a layer of a polymer chosen from polyolefins, acrylic polymers and fluoropolymers; the layers adhering to one another. Preferred structures are those in which the central layer is different from the outermost layers, these outermost layers being able to be identical or different. The present invention also relates to devices for transferring or storing fluids, and more particularly to pipes, tanks, ducts, bottles and containers formed from the above structures.
