Abstract:
The present invention relates to polyamide (A) and polyolefin (B) blends containing nanofillers in which the polyamide forms the matrix. These blends can also be referred to as nullpolyamide (A), polyolefin (B) and nanofiller blends in which the polyamide forms the matrixnull. The invention also relates to compositions with barrier properties which are polyamide (A) and polyolefin (B) blends containing nanofillers in which the polyamide forms the matrix. The invention also relates to structures with barrier properties comprising at least one layer of these blends and optionally at least one layer of another material. The invention also relates to the use of these structures for producing a barrier effect. These structures are a barrier to numerous fluids, and in particular to oxygen, to styrene, to fumigation fluids, to pentane and to air conditioning fluids. These structures can be made into bottles, reservoirs, containers, pipes and vessels of all sorts. They can also be converted to films which are used to make packagings. These films are also useful in food packaging, in SMC technology, in fumigation and in expandable polystyrene packaging. These pipes are useful in air conditioning devices. The invention also relates to the use of these objects.

Abstract:
It is to provide a block copolymer and its copolymer composition which provides a heat shrinkable (multilayer) film with less spontaneous shrinkage while maintaining favorable low temperature shrinkability, and a heat shrinkable (multilayer) film containing the block copolymer. By using a block copolymer comprising a vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon and a conjugated diene characterized in that the relation of the loss tangent value obtained by dynamic viscoelasticity measurement with the temperature satisfies specific conditions, or a composition containing the copolymer composition as an essential component, a heat shrinkable (multilayer) film with less spontaneous shrinkability and less odor while maintaining favorable low temperature shrinkability can be obtained.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to polymeric compositions for making a liquid impermeable, moisture vapour permeable layer by coating the composition onto a substrate. The polymeric compositions comprise preferred thermoplastic polymers and suitable hydrophilic plasticizers which are covalently bonded to said thermoplastic polymers. The layers made from the polymeric compositions of the present invention exhibit enhanced moisture vapour permeability and washability. These layers can find a variety of applications wherein moisture vapour permeability is desirable for example within waterproof garments, protective bedding covers, and within absorbent articles such as diapers, sanitary napkins, panty liners, incontinence products, protective clothing and the like.
