Abrégé

A polymeric film or laminate comprising the same is applied to at least a portion of a surface of an underlying article to provide, for example, desired surface characteristics. To assist in such application, a polymerizable composition is coated onto at least one of the surface of the polymeric film or the laminate and the surface of the article. The polymerizable composition is then polymerized with the polymeric film or laminate positioned thereover to form a sufficiently polymerized interlayer between the polymeric film or laminate and the underlying surface in resulting articles. Ease of removal and/or repair of polymeric film and laminates comprising the polymeric film that are so applied is facilitated.

A polymeric film assembly comprising a first solidified interlayer on a polymeric film or laminate comprising the same that is contacted with at least a portion of a surface of an underlying article to provide, for example, desired surface characteristics. At least a portion of the first solidified interlayer becomes a softened interlayer positioned between the polymeric film and the surface of the article when contacted as such. The softened interlayer is then converted to a second solidified interlayer, which second solidified interlayer may be in a different form than or same form as the first solidified interlayer initially provided, for adherence of the polymeric film to at least the portion of the surface of the article. Ease of removal and/or repair of polymeric film and laminates comprising the polymeric film that are so applied is facilitated.

Abrégé

A method of applying a polymeric film to an article when forming an assembly according to the invention comprises: providing a polymeric film (100,200,300,400,500,600,700,800) sized to cover at least a portion of at least one exterior surface of the article (104,204,304,704,804); providing at least one gaseous agent (206) to form a coating (208,308,408,508,718) on at least one surface of the polymeric film and/or at least one exterior surface of the article to be contacted when forming an assembly; contacting at least a portion of the polymeric film and at least a portion of the at least one exterior surface of the article; and form-fitting the polymeric film with the portion of the at least one exterior surface of the article.
