Abstract

Disclosed are laminated articles comprising a first polymer layer and a second polymer layer having an inclusion embedded between the layers, wherein at least one layer comprises a branching agent to improve dimensional stability during the lamination process. Disclosed are laminated articles comprising a first polymer layer and a second polymer layer having an inclusion embedded between the layers, wherein at least one layer comprises a copolyester comprising a branching agent to improve dimensional stability during the lamination process. Also disclosed are methods of laminating a first layer and a second layer with an inclusion between the layers to form a laminated article with an embedded inclusion, wherein at least one layer comprises a copolyester comprising a branching agent.
