Abstract: An olefin resin-based article having good gas barrier properties is disclosed, comprising an .alpha.,.beta.-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid-grafted polyolefin (e.g., maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene) having formed thereon an inorganic oxide deposite film, wherein the grafted polyolefin has an unsaturated carboxylic acid unit concentration of from 0.01 to 10% by weight, with or without an anchor coat being provided between the grafted polyolefin and the inorganic oxide film. The article suffers from no reduction in gas barrier properties even when heat or stress is applied thereto and is therefore useful as a wrapping or packaging material in the production of pouch-packed foods and IC packages.

Abstract: An olefin resin-based article having gas barrier properties, comprising a crystalline olefin copolymer having an inorganic oxide thin film layer formed thereon where the crystalline olefin copolymer comprises ethylene or an .alpha.-olefin having from 3 to 12 carbon atoms and a diene and having a diene unit content of from 0.05 to 20 mol %, wherein the article suffers from no reduction in gas barrier properties even when heat or stress is applied during fabrication or use and is useful as a wrapping or packaging material for making pouch-packed foods or IC packages.
