(57) [Summary]nThe thermoplastic blend may comprise (A) (1) 1 to 65 mole percent of (a) at least one vinylidene monomer, or (b) at least one hindered aliphatic or cycloaliphatic vinylidene monomer, or (c) Any combination of at least one aromatic vinylidene monomer and at least one hindered aliphatic or cycloaliphatic vinylidene monomer; and (2) at least one having from 99 to 35 mole percent of 2 to 20 carbon atoms. (B) (1) from 1 to 100 mole percent of from 2 to 20 carbon atoms of from 1 to 99 weight percent of at least one interpolymer made from a monomer component comprising at least one aliphatic α-olefin; Having at least one α-olefin, and (2) the monomer thereof, as component (B) It is prepared from a polymeric material containing from 0 to 99 mole percent of at least one α-olefin having from 2 to 20 carbon atoms, different from the monomers of -1). These blends retain improved properties when compared to the properties of the polymer comprising the blend. These blends are useful in the modification of films, fabricated articles, injection molded parts, bitumen and asbestos, hot melt and pressure sensitive adhesive systems. |
