The cyclic olefin copolymer has a glass transition temperature, Tg, of greater than about 20° C. as determined by ASTM D3418. The cyclic olefin copolymer may comprise from about 10 to about 90 mol. % norbornene. The additional polymer is selected from a polyolefinic resin, an engineering resin, and a combination thereof.
