Abstract: Blends of polymeric materials comprising (A) from about 1 to about 99 weight percent of at least one interpolymer containing (1) from about 1 to about 65 mole percent of (a) at least one vinylidene aromatic monomer, or (b) at least one hindered aliphatic vinylidene monomer, or (c) a combination of at least one vinylidene aromatic monomer and at least one hindered aliphatic vinylidene monomer, and (2) from about 35 to about 99 mole percent of at least one aliphatic .alpha.-olefin having from 2 to about 20 carbon atoms; and (B) from about 1 to about 99 weight percent of at least one homopolymer or interpolymer of one or more vinylidene aromatic monomers and/or one or more hindered aliphatic vinylidene monomers. These blends have been observed to possess improved properties when compared to the individual polymers comprising the blend and to provide materials with enhanced processability and temperature ranges of performance.

Abstract: A polymer blend composition comprising:(a) from 0.5 to 99 percent by weight, based on the total weight of (a), (b), and (c), of an aliphatic .alpha.-olefin homopolymer or interpolymer, or an interpolymer of an .alpha.-olefin and a non-aromatic monomer interpolymerizable therewith;(b) from 0.5 to 99 percent by weight, based on the total weight of (a), (b), and (c), of a homopolymer or interpolymer of monovinylidene aromatic monomers, or an interpolymer of monovinylidene aromatic monomer and a monomer interpolymerizable therewith other than an aliphatic .alpha.-olefin; and(c) from 0.5 to 99 percent by weight, based on the total weight of (a), (b), and (c), of a substantially random interpolymer comprising an .alpha.-olefin and a vinylidene aromatic monomer.
