Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim 126 words
A thermoplastic laminate film produced by a process which comprises, (a) providing first and second thermoplastic films, said films comprising, (i) a polymer, selected from the group consisting of poly(vinyl chloride), chlorinated polyethylene, poly(vinylidene chloride) and a copolymer of vinyl chloride and vinylidene chloride, (ii) cations selected from the group consisting of alkali metal ions, alkaline earth metal ions and mixtures thereof, (iii) a plasticizer which is compatible with said polymer and which is capable of forming a complex with cation, (b) coating a surface of said first thermoplastic film with an electronically conductive carbon material; (c) overlaying the coated surface of said first thermoplastic film with said second thermoplastic film; and (d) pressing said first and second thermoplastic films together to form said laminate film.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 126 words
A thermoplastic laminate film produced by a process which comprises, (a) providing first and second thermoplastic films, said films comprising, (i) a polymer, selected from the group consisting of poly(vinyl chloride), chlorinated polyethylene, poly(vinylidene chloride) and a copolymer of vinyl chloride and vinylidene chloride, (ii) cations selected from the group consisting of alkali metal ions, alkaline earth metal ions and mixtures thereof, (iii) a plasticizer which is compatible with said polymer and which is capable of forming a complex with cation, (b) coating a surface of said first thermoplastic film with an electronically conductive carbon material; (c) overlaying the coated surface of said first thermoplastic film with said second thermoplastic film; and (d) pressing said first and second thermoplastic films together to form said laminate film.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 55 words
The thermoplastic laminate film of claim 1 wherein said process additionally comprises the step of coating a surface of said second thermoplastic film with an electronically conductive material selected from the group consisting of graphite and carbon and overlaying said first and second thermoplastic films in (c) so that their coated surfaces face one another.
