Information carrying card comprising crosslinked polymer composition, and method of making the same
First Claim
1. A core layer for a plurality of information carrying cards, comprisinga first thermoplastic layer defining a plurality of cavities therein, each cavity having a continuous surface profile solely defined by and inside the first thermoplastic layer, the continuous surface profile having a bottom wall surface and a side wall surface;
- a plurality of inlay layers, each inlay layer having at least one portion being disposing into one respective cavity; and
a crosslinked polymer composition disposed in each of the plurality of cavities and contacting the pluralities of inlay layers.

Abstract
The disclosure provides a core layer for an information carrying card, resulting information carrying card, and methods of making the same. A core layer for an information carrying card comprises at least one thermoplastic layer having at least one cavity, an inlay layer, and, and a crosslinked polymer composition. At least one portion of the inlayer layer is disposed inside the at least one cavity of the at least one thermoplastic layer. The crosslinked polymer composition is disposed over the at least one thermoplastic layer and contacting the inlayer layer.

7. A method for forming a core layer for a plurality of information carrying cards, comprising:
-
forming a first thermoplastic layer defining a plurality of cavities therein, each cavity having a continuous surface profile defined solely by and being inside the first thermoplastic layer, the continuous surface profile having a bottom wall surface and a side wall surface; disposing a plurality of inlay layers into the plurality of cavities, each inlay layer having at least one portion being disposing into one respective cavity; and dispensing a crosslinkable polymer composition over the first thermoplastic layer and at least partially into each of the plurality of cavities, and contacting the pluralities of inlay layers so as to form the core layer for the plurality of information carrying cards. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
