| 摘要 |
Disclosed are compositions of ethylene acid copolymers and EVOH that are useful for fabricating films, sheets and other shaped articles such as tubing, bottle, fuel tank, tray etc. comprising (1) an ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer; and (2) a copolymer comprising in-chain copolymerized units of (a) in-chain copolymerized units of ethylene; (b) in-chain polymerized units of an α,&bgr;-unsaturated C3-C8 carboxylic acid; (c) in-chain polymerized units of at least one comonomer that is an ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid or derivative thereof; and optionally (d) in-chain copolymerized units of alkyl acrylate or alkyl methacrylate, and wherein the carboxylic acid functionalities present are at least partially neutralized by one or more alkali metal, transition metal, or alkaline earth metal cations. The compositions can be used for packaging of foodstuffs, medical solutions and industrial chemicals.
