                          In most cases there is insufficient adhesion between the basic polymers and
                        so it is necessary to have an adhesive film between each of the layers. Recent
                        investigations of  co-extrusion have been  centred on methods of avoiding the
                        need for the adhesive layer. The most successful seems to be the development
