Nanolayer coextrusion enables the production of polymeric films composed of up to thousands of alternating layers. The thickness of each layer can in theory be controlled, by monitoring the number of layers, the mass ratio of the polymers, and the draw ratio of the film at the exit die, and can decrease down to several nanometers. It has been shown that such films can display drastically improved macroscopic properties, such as optical, gas barrier, or mechanical, due to confinement and interfacial effects. However, layer beak-up phenomenon occurring at such thicknesses, impacting the resulting properties, has also been reported for many polymer pairs. The goal of this thesis is to investigate the causes for these break-ups and for the inst...
