| Resumen: | The present study introduces an innovative blown coextrusion die technology designed to address a critical gap in the production of multilayer films. Unlike conventional systems, this novel die allows for the creation of films with a high number of layers, ensuring layer integrity even in the micro-nano scale. A key advancement of this die is its ability to increase the number of layers without extending the residence time since it does not require an additional multiplier element. The risk of thermal degradation can, thus be, minimized. The die can easily be combined with existing cast coextrusion technologies, making it very versatile. Stability maps were developed to define processability and, in association with rheological analysis, optimal processing windows were determined. This study highlights the potential of enhancing material efficiency by increasing the number of layers while reducing the need for high percentages of EVOH. The produced multilayer films exhibited strong layer adhesion without the use of tie layers, thus improving recyclability and supporting sustainability goals. |
