interlayered
Sandwiched between layers
Interlayered describes things arranged in alternating layers: interlayered sediments of sand and clay, interlayered rock formations.
The term appears most often in geology and materials science, where distinct substances stack in succession.
Something interlayered has layers of one material sandwiched between layers of another.
