laminates
Fuses thin layers
Laminates are materials made by bonding layers together—typically a decorative surface fused to a base material.
Kitchen countertops and flooring often use laminates: a thin layer of plastic or resin over particleboard or plywood.
The verb laminate means to create such layered materials or to seal something between protective sheets: We laminated the old photograph.
Laminated glass has a plastic interlayer that holds shards together when broken.
