Zusammenfassung:Method of making an extruded thin film comprising: melt filtering an amorphous thermoplastic composition comprising an amorphous thermoplastic polymer with a glass transition temperature Tg of 130° C. to 280° C. to form a melt filtered amorphous thermoplastic composition; extruding the melt filtered amorphous thermoplastic composition into strands at a temperature TE; cooling the strands to a temperature Tc to form cooled strands; cutting the cooled strands into pellets having a length of 2.0 to 6.0 millimeters; treating the pellets at a temperature Ts to remove particulates having at least one of length, width, and height of less than 0.5 millimeters to form treated pellets; melting the treated pellets in an extruder at a temperature Tp to form a molten composition; and extruding the molten composition through a flat die to form a film having an average thickness less than or equal to 50 micrometers.
