Abstract:
A polymeric blend comprising:(a) from about 10 to about 95 parts of at least one natural and melt-intractable polar polymer selected from starch, chitin, chitosan, lignin or cellulose;(b) from about 5 to about 90 parts of a polymeric composite of:i.) from about 40 to about 95 parts by weight of a first polymer containing at least 50 mol % of units of the structure ##STR12## ii) from about 5 to about 60 parts by weight of a second polymer containing at least about 70 parts of units derived from a lower alkyl methacrylate or acrylate, and at least one of either up to about 25 parts of units derived from a vinyl or vinylidene monomer containing an amide group or up to about 25 parts of units derived from an unsaturated carboxylic acid or anhydride.
