Manufacturing multilayer objects by rotomolding is a new technology, which is expected to have several industrial applications in future. For multilayer objects it is important to know whether the layers are adequately welded. This communication describes the characterization of the interface between two polymeric layers, grafted polyethylene and poly(ethylene vinyl alcohol), which were thermally welded during rotomolding.
