| abstract |
The present invention pertains to structures and fabricated articles having shape/reshape behavior (and processes for their preparation) comprising; (A) from 1 to 100 wt percent (based on the combined weights of components A and B) of at least one substantially random interpolymer having an I2 of 0.1 to 1,000 g/10 min and an Mw/Mn of from 1.5 to 20, which comprises; (1) form 38 to 65 mol percent of polymer units derived from; (a) at least one vinyl or vinylidene aromatic monomer, or (b) at least one hindered aliphatic or cycloaliphatic vinyl or vinylidene monomer, or c a combination of at least one aromatic vinyl or vinylidene monomer and at least one hindered aliphatic or cycloaliphatic vinyl or vinylidene monomer, and (2) from 35 to 62 mol percent of polymer units derived from ethylene and/or at least one C3-20 Α-olefin; and (B) from 0 to 99 wt percent (based on the combined weights of components A and B) of at least one polymer other than that of component A; and c from 0 to 50 percent by weight (based on the combined weights of components A, B, C and D) of at least one tackifier; and (D) from 0 to 80 percent by weight (based on the combined weights of components A, B, C and D) of at least one filler. |
