Abstract:
A novel multilayer structure in which one layer comprises a polymer comprising a solventless, waterless, melt-processable acrylonitrile olefinically unsaturated polymer and the other layer comprises an organic polymer. Either polymer can be employed as the inner layer or the outer layer component of the multilayer structure.
Abstract:
A polymer blend comprises a high nitrile copolymer and a compatible thermoplastic polymer or copolymer containing polar groups, formed from monomers selected from the group consisting of alkylacrylamides, aliphatic and cyclic methacrylates, unsaturated carboxylic acid anhydrides, vinyl pyrrolidones, heterocyclic ring compounds containing two hetero atoms, lactones and phosphorus-containing monomers that form highly crystalline polymers. Such blends can be used to form films and membranes having improved thermal, mechanical and optical properties.
