A blend comprises at least 50 wt. % polylactic acid and at least 5 wt. % of polymer selected from one or more of: (i) ethylene/unsaturated ester copolymer having an unsaturated ester comonomer content of at least about 30% based on the weight of the ethylene/unsaturated ester copolymer; (ii) modified ethylene/unsaturated ester copolymer; (iii) polyetheramide block copolymer; (iv) propylene/ethylene copolymer comprising at least about 12% and at most about 16% ethylene monomer content based on the weight of the propylene/ethylene copolymer; and (v) styrenic block copolymer. An article such as a tray, film, or sheet may comprise the blend.

Polymeric blend comprising polylactic acid

An article comprises a first polylactic acid layer and a second layer directly adjacent the first layer. The second layer comprises any of ethylene/unsaturated ester copolymer, ethylene/alkyl (meth)acrylate/glycidyl (meth)acrylate copolymer, and styrenic block copolymer. The article may be a shrink sleeve.

Multilayer film comprising polylactic acid

A new and novel linear, regio-regular vicinal functionalized polymer methods of forming the same are described. The polymer has a linear hydrocarbon polymer backbone with vicinal functional groups having oxygen and/or nitrogen atom containing groups, such as hydroxy, carboxylic acid or ester, carbonyl acetate, amide, nitrile and the like, pendent from the polymer backbone chain in a regio-regular manner.

Regio-regular copolymer and methods of forming same

The present invention is directed to Packaging Materials and Packaging Articles having a structure composed of a substantially linear, regio-regular functionalized hydrocarbon polymer having C,-C,hydrocarbon polymer repeating units wherein each unit has at least one functional group uniformly pendent therefrom.
