Abstract:
1. A polymer composition comprising from about 0.1 to about 60 percent by weight of interpolymer resin particles comprising a styrenic polymer intercalated within a polyolefin, wherein the polyolefin is present at from about 20% to about 80% by weight based on the weight of the particles, has a VICAT softening temperature greater than 60° C. and a melt index of from about 0.3 to about 15 g/10 minutes (190° C./2.16 kg), and the styrenic polymer is present at from about 20% to about 80% by weight based on the weight of the particles, and wherein the interpolymer resin particles have a gel content ranging from about 0 to about 5% by weight based on the weight of said interpolymer resin particles, a VICAT softening temperature ranging from about 85° C. to about 115° C., and a melt index value ranging from about 0.1 to about 6.0 (230° C./5.0 kg); and from about 40 to about 99.9 percent by weight of at least one second polymer.
