The present invention provides polymer blends that can be used in a multilayer structure and to mulitlayer structures comprising one or more layers fomed from such blends. In one aspect, a polymer blend comprises (a) a copolymer comprising ethylene and at least one of acrylic acid methacrylic acid having an acid content of 2 to 21 weight percent based on the weight of the copolymer, wherein the amount of copolymer (a) comprises 20-80weight percent of the blend based on the total weight of the blend, and (b) a copolymer comprising ethylene and at least one of methyl acrylate and ethyl acrylate having an acrylate content of 5 to 30 weight percent based on the weight of the copolymer, wherien the amount of copolymer (b) comprises 10 to 50 weight percent of the blend based on the total weight of the blend, wherin the amount of copolmer (a) and copolymer (b) is at least 70 weight percent of the blend based on the total weight of the blend. |
