Coated conductors including a conductive core at least partially surrounded by a polymeric coating. The polymeric coating has an &#x3b1;-olefin based polymer and an &#x3b1;-olefin based block composite. The &#x3b1;-olefin block composite has block copolymers having hard segments and soft segments.

Polymeric coatings for coated conductors

A polymer composite is made from or containing: (i) a phase I material consisting essentially of a polar copolymer of ethylene and an unsaturated ester having 4 to 20 carbon atoms; (ii) a phase II material consisting essentially of a nonpolar, low density polyethylene; and (iii) a conducting filler material dispersed in the phase I material and/or the phase II material in an amount sufficient to be equal to or greater than the amount required to generate a continuous conducting network in the phase I and phase II materials. Articles are made from the polymer composite.

Semiconductive compositions

A foamable polymer composition is described which comprises: a1) a substantially random interpolymer produced from: i) one or more &agr;-olefin monomers; and ii) one or more vinyl or vinylidene aromatic monomers and/or one or more sterically hindered aliphatic or cycloaliphiatic vinyl or vinylidene monomers; and optionally iii) other polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated monomer(s); or a2) an interpolymer comprising polymerized units of ethylene and vinyl acetate; or a3) a combination of the polymers a1) and a2); and b) a polydiorganosiloxane having a viscosity of at least one million centistoke at 25&deg; C.; and c) a foaming agent. The polydiorganosiloxane is useful for improving the abrasion resistance of foams comprising the substantially random interpolymer a1) and/or the ethylene/vinyl acetate interpolymer a2).
