Abstract

The invention provides a film comprising at least two layers, a first layer and a second layer; and wherein the first layer is formed from a first composition comprising a polyester and/or a polylactic acid; and wherein the second layer is formed from a second composition comprising at least the following: A) a functionalized ethylene-based polymer, and B) at least one ethylene/alkylacrylate copolymer.

Claims (20)

1. A film comprising at least two layers, a first layer and a second layer;

and wherein the first layer is formed from a first composition comprising a polyester and/or a poly lactic acid; and

wherein the second layer is formed from a second composition comprising at least the following:

A) 20 to 50 wt %, based on the sum weight of component A and component B, of a maleic anhydride (MAH) grafted ethylene/octene copolymer,

B) an ethylene/alkylacrylate copolymer, and

C) a low density polyethylene (LDPE), and wherein the LDPE is present in an amount from 10 to 50 weight percent, based on the weight of the second composition; and

wherein the ethylene/alkylacrylate copolymer of component B (second composition) has a melting point (Tm) greater than, or equal to, 93° C., as determined by DSC; and a density from 0.910 to 0.940 g/cc; and

wherein the weight ratio of component B to component A (B:A) is from 4:1 to 1:1; and

wherein the second composition has a melt index ( 12 ) from 1.5 to 12 g/10 min.

2. The film of claim 1 , wherein the first layer is in contact with the second layer.

3. The film of claim 1 , wherein the second composition comprises greater than, or equal to, 50 weight percent of the ethylene/alkylacrylate copolymer of component B, based on the sum weight of component A and component B.

4. The film of claim 1 , wherein the ethylene/alkylacrylate copolymer of component B has a melt index (I2) from 0.1 to 50 g/10 min.

5. The film of claim 1 , wherein the maleic anhydride-graft level is from 0.05 to 1.20 weight percent, based on the weight of the second composition.

6. The film of claim 1 , wherein the second composition comprises from 80 to 90 weight percent of the sum weight of components A and B, based on the weight of the second composition.

7. The film of claim 1 , wherein the polyester or polylactic acid has a melting point (Tm) greater than 200° C.

8. The film of claim 1 , wherein the second composition further comprises an ethylene/α-olefin multiblock interpolymer.

9. An article comprising the film of claim 1 .

10. The film of claim 1 , comprising from 30 to 50 weight percent of the maleic anhydride (MAH) grafted ethylene/octene copolymer of component A, based on the sum weight of component A and component B.

11. The film of claim 1 , wherein the first composition comprises greater than, or equal to, 95 weight percent of the polyester, based on the weight of the first composition, and wherein the polyester has a density from 1.20 to 1.40 g/cc.

12. The film of claim 1 , wherein the second composition has a density from 0.900 to 0.920 g/cc.
