Abstract:
1. A composition comprising: (1) from about 60 to about 95 weight %, based on the total weight of the composition, of an ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer; and (2) from about 5 to about 40 weight %, based on the total weight of the composition, of the ionomeric composition comprising (a) in-chain copolymerized units of ethylene; (b) about 5 weight % to about 15 weight % of in-chain copolymerized units of an α,β-unsaturated C (c) about 0.5 weight % to about 18 weight % of in-chain copolymerized units of the at least one comonomer including C (d) 0 to about 40 weight % of in-chain copolymerized unit including alkyl acrylate or alkyl methacrylate wherein the alkyl has one to twelve carbon atoms; wherein the amounts of (a), (b), (c) and (d) are based on the weight of the copolymer and the combined carboxylic acid functionalities present are at least partially neutralized by one or more alkali metal, transition metal, or alkaline earth metal cations.
