To use PEO based multilayer films in commercial applications, it is necessary to understand the effect of humidity on the transport properties as PEO absorbs significant amount of water. PEO/PS films with 20 wt% PEO showed less than 2% moisture sorption and the equilibrium moisture absorption increased to 4% at 50 wt% PEO content. Importantly, oxygen permeability of PS/PEO layers changed only slightly in presence of 85% relative humidity. 2 Polycaprolactone (PCL) Similar to PEO-based multilayered films, confinement of PCL in PCL/ PS multilayered films at nanoscale showed a 200-fold improvement in the 56 Multilayer Polymer Films barrier properties when the number of layers increased from 17 to 1025 [9].

Furthermore, the velocity distribution or the shear rate of the polymer melt flow in the feedblock or the layer multiplier dies is typically parabolic creating flow instabilities. The interfacial distortions can be caused by the flow instability, viscosity, and viscoelastic differences between the component polymers. It is obvious that the interfacial deformation during processing leads to layer thickness nonuniformity, layer thickness variation, irregular interfaces, polymer intermixing, and even film thickness variations.
