Abstract: Embodiments of polymer blends may include a first polymer composition and a second polymer composition. The first polymer composition may include a polyolefin having a thermal transition temperature of at least 100° C. and a graftable monomer having at least one acid or anhydride functional group grafted onto the polyolefin. The second polymer composition may include an E/X/Y ethylene interpolymer, wherein E is an ethylene monomer and comprises greater than 50 wt. % of the interpolymer, X is an ?,?-unsaturated C3-C8 carboxylic acid and comprises greater than 0 to 25 wt. % of the interpolymer, and Y is an optional comonomer comprising C1-C8 alkyl acrylate.

Abstract: In order to invite individuals to join a social network, telephone contact information of a user of the social network is extracted, with the user's permission, from a phonebook associated with a telephone application on the user's portable electronic device. Then, the extracted telephone contact information is shared across different platforms to the user's desktop computer, and telephone numbers in the extracted telephone contact information are identified. These telephone numbers are associated with other portable electronic devices, and with individuals that are not currently members of the social network. After receiving confirmation of a telephone number from the user (e.g., via the desktop computer), the location of the associated portable electronic device is determined. Based on the telephone number and the location, an invitation to join the social network is conditionally provided to the portable electronic device, via a Short Message Service (SMS) message.
