1. A multilayered article, comprising:
a thermosetting polymer material having at least one surface;
a thermoplastic polymer layer deposited on a first surface of the at least one surface of the thermosetting polymer material;
a cold sprayed metal layer present on at least a portion of a surface of the thermoplastic polymer layer;
at least one additional layer, the at least one additional layer sandwiching at least a portion of the cold sprayed metal layer between the additional layer and the thermoplastic polymer layer; and wherein:
the thermoplastic polymer layer has a crystallinity of about 5% to 25%; and
the thermoplastic polymer layer adheres to the surface of the thermosetting polymer material due to curing of the thermosetting polymer material after deposition of the thermoplastic polymer layer.
