A polymeric blend composition comprising: (a) from about 1 to about 99 wt.% of a polymer; and (b) from about 1 to about 75 wt.% poly alpha-1,3-glucan is disclosed. The addition of alpha-1,3-glucan as a polymer filler can increase the tensile modulus, tensile strength and oxygen barrier properties of the polymeric blend composition. |
