1. An extrusion apparatus for making a multilayer article, the extrusion apparatus having a first end and a second end and a flow direction going from the first end to the second end, the extrusion apparatus comprising: a central mandrel having an axis;a plurality of discs where each disc surrounds the central mandrel, the plurality of discs including: a first pair of discs including a first disc and a second disc, the first disc having a central cone-shaped portion extending toward the second end and the second disc having a cone-shaped portion into which the cone-shaped portion of the first disc fits such that a gap exists between the two cone-shaped portions to form a polymer flow channel having an outlet,a third disc proximate the second disc,wherein the plurality of discs and the central mandrel define a cylindrical flow channel, andwherein the second disc and the third disc together define a gap creating a polymer flow channel having a portion that is perpendicular to the axis of the mandrel and wherein the perpendicular portion abuts the cylindrical flow channel at an outlet of the perpendicular portion; anda thickness of at least one of the discs in the flow direction is about one inch or less,wherein the outlets defined by the polymer extrusion channels of the first and second and second and third discs abut. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the polymer flow channel between the second disc and the third disc has a spiral-shaped component. 3. The apparatus of claim 2, further comprising a fourth disc, wherein the third disc has a central cone-shaped portion extending toward the second end and the fourth disc has a cone-shaped portion into which the cone-shaped portion of the third disc fits such that a gap exists between the two cone-shaped portions to form a polymer flow channel. 4. The apparatus of claim 3, further comprising a fifth disc and a sixth disc, wherein the fifth disc has a central cone-shaped portion extending toward the second end and the sixth disc has a cone-shaped portion into which the cone-shaped portion of the fifth disc fits such that a gap exists between the two cone-shaped portions to form a polymer flow channel wherein the fourth disc and the fifth disc together define a gap creating a polymer flow channel having a portion that is perpendicular to the axis of the mandrel and that abuts the cylindrical flow channel. 5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the polymer flow channel between the fourth disc and the fifth disc has a spiral-shaped component. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the thickness of the at least one disc in the flow direction is about 0.2 inch or less. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the apparatus is a crosshead extruder. 8. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the spiral flow channel has a width of from about 0.05 inch to about 0.75 inch. 9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the at least one of the discs does not have a cone-shaped portion, wherein the at least one of the discs is one of the plurality of discs that defines a polymer flow channel with another disc. 10. An extrusion apparatus for making a multilayer article, the extrusion apparatus having a first end and a second end and a flow direction going from the first end to the second end, the extrusion apparatus comprising: a central mandrel having an axis;a plurality of discs where each disc surrounds the central mandrel, the plurality of discs including a first set of polymer flow channels and a second set of polymer flow channels, wherein the second set of polymer flow channels are interleaved in the first set of polymer flow channels such that no two channels of the first set are adjacent to each other and no two channels of the second set are adjacent to each other and wherein the polymer flow channels of the first and second sets each surround the central mandrel,wherein the central mandrel and the plurality of discs together form a cylindrical flow channel,where each of the polymer flow channels of the second set has an outlet and has a portion that extends away from the central mandrel perpendicular to the axis and that abuts the cylindrical flow channel and wherein each of the polymer flow channels of the second set includes a spiral-shaped component,wherein the outlets of at least one adjacent pair of one of the first set of the flow channels and one of the second set of the flow channels abut; anda thickness of at least one of the discs in the flow direction is about one inch or less. 11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein each of the polymer flow channels of the first set are defined by an outlet and by a cone-shaped portion of a disc that extends toward the second end and a corresponding portion of an adjacent disc. 12. An extrusion apparatus for making a multilayer article, the extrusion apparatus having a first end and a second end and a flow direction going from the first end to the second end, the extrusion apparatus comprising: a plurality of discs where each disc has a central opening, the plurality of discs including: a first pair of discs including a first disc and a second disc, the first disc having a central cone-shaped portion extending toward the second end and the second disc having a cone-shaped portion into which the cone-shaped portion of the first disc fits such that a gap exists between the two cone-shaped portions to form a polymer flow channel having an outlet,a second pair of discs including a third disc and a fourth disc, the third disc having a central cone-shaped portion extending toward the second end and the fourth disc having a cone-shaped portion into which the cone-shaped portion of the third disc fits such that a gap exists between the two cone-shaped portions to form a polymer flow channel,wherein the plurality of discs define an outer surface of a cylindrical flow channel,wherein the second disc and the third disc together define a gap creating a polymer flow channel having an outlet and extending perpendicular to the axis of the mandrel,wherein the polymer flow channel defined by the second and third disc abuts the cylindrical flow channel at a right angle to the axis, andwherein the outlets defined by the polymer extrusion channels of the first and second and second and third discs abut. 13. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein all but one of the discs includes a cone shaped portion extending substantially parallel to the flow direction. 14. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the thickness of the at least one disc in the flow direction is about 0.75 inch or less. 15. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the thickness of the at least one disc in the flow direction is about 0.15 inch or less. 16. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein each of the discs has a thickness in the flow direction that is about one inch or less. 17. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the apparatus is a disc head extrusion apparatus. 18. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the polymer flow channel between the second disc and the third disc has a spiral-shaped component. 19. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein each of the flow channels has a spiral-shaped component.
