Abstract: A tile comprising the following components: A) a first film formed from a first composition comprising the following: i) a functionalized olefin-based polymer comprising one or more chemical groups selected from the following: a) a carboxylic acid, and/or b) an anhydride, and, optionally, c) an amino or an amine; and ii) a functionalized styrenic block copolymer, comprising, in polymerized form, styrene, and ethylene and/or at least one alpha-olefin, and comprising one or more chemical groups selected from the following: a) a carboxylic acid, and/or b) an anhydride; and B) a substrate comprising at least one layer formed from a second composition comprising a propylene-based polymer; and wherein the first film covers at least one surface of the substrate.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a process. The process includes (i) crosslinking pellets composed of a silane-grafted ethylene/?-olefin multi-block copolymer (Si-g-OBC) to a gel content from 10% to 80% to form crosslinked Si-g-OBC pellets; and (ii) foaming the crosslinked Si-g-OBC pellets to form crosslinked Si-g-OBC foam beads having a gel content from 10% to 80%.

Abstract: A composition comprising the following components: A) a first ethylene/alpha-olefin interpolymer with a melt index I2A; B) a second ethylene/alpha-olefin interpolymer with a melt index I2B; and wherein the difference in melt index (I2): (I2A?I2B)?400, and wherein I2B?100 g/10 min; C) a filler, and wherein the filler is present in an amount ?50 wt %, based on the weight of the composition; D) a tackifier; and wherein the melt viscosity, at 165 C, of the composition, excluding the filler (component C), is ?30,000 cP.

Abstract: A swellable infill composition includes particular amount of a polyolefin elastomer, a hydrophobic plasticizer, a co-plasticizer having a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance value of greater than or equal to 6, an organic absorbent material, and, optionally, an inorganic absorbent material. The swellable infill composition can be useful for artificial turf systems.
