Thermoplastic starch and polyethylene based films with improved processability and optical properties

摘要

Disclosed herein is a multilayered article comprising a first layer comprising a thermoplastic polymer; where the thermoplastic polymer comprises polyolefin, a compatibilizer and thermoplastic starch; where the first layer does not contain any filler; and a second layer comprising a polyolefin and a filler; where the second layer does not contain any thermoplastic starch. Disclosed herein too is a method of manufacturing a multilayered article comprising coextruding a first layer and a second layer; where the first layer comprises a polyolefin, a compatibilizer and thermoplastic starch and does not contain any filler; where the second layer comprises a polyolefin and a filler and does not contain any thermoplastic starch; and where the first layer contacts the second layer.
