Definitions
- the present invention relates to films comprising olefin/vinyl aromatic copolymer.
- the present invention relates especially to multilayer films containing ethylene/ styrene copolymer.
- Homogeneous olefin/vinyl aromatic copolymers have been prepared, using single site catalysts such as metallocene catalysts. These polymers have only up to 50 mole percent of the aromatic vinyl polymerization units, because the active site of the catalyst becomes crowded with the incorporation of the sterically hindered aromatic vinyl comonomer, making it unlikely, or impossible, that another hindered comonomer could enter into the polymerization as the next monomer in the sequence.
- homogeneous alpha-olefin/vinyl aromatic copolymers are similar in at least some properties to other homogeneous, single site catalyzed copolymers such as the homogeneous, single site catalyzed ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymers. That is, the present alpha-olefin/vinyl aromatic copolymers are characterized as having a narrow molecular weight distribution (MWD) and a narrow compositional distribution (CD).
- MWD molecular weight distribution
- CD narrow compositional distribution
- homogeneous alpha-olefin/vinyl aromatic copolymers can be used to prepare heat shrinkable films having a high impact strength. This high impact strength is believed to result from the stiffer amorphous regions of the polymer. Furthermore, it is believed that films containing homogeneous alpha-olefin/vinyl aromatic copolymer can have a high permeability to gaseous oxygen, etc., due to high void volume and/or high solubility of gases in homogeneous alpha-olefin/vinyl aromatic copolymers.
- the high void volume and/or polarizability of homogeneous alpha-olefin/vinyl aromatic copolymer when used in films, can be used to make films having an increased capacity for absorption of relatively low molecular weight additives, such as antifog additives, antiblock additives, and antislip additives.
- the voids can be used to make films having the characteristic of taking up and retaining flavor additives, color additives, printing inks, etc., which can result in less contamination into the product within the package, or from one product to another.
- olefin/vinyl aromatic copolymers can be used to make films having good clarity and/or gloss, in combination with stiffness due to the aromatic component in the polymer.
- olefin/vinyl aromatic copolymers in films, both monolayer films as well as multilayer films, can provide one or more of a wide variety of improved properties to the film, and can be advantageous in certain end uses.
- a film of improved printability e.g. improved ink adhesion
- Olefin/vinyl aromatic copolymers can be used to provide a machinable film having a high gas transmission rate, which is advantageous in both case-ready meat packaging of fresh meat, especially fresh red meat, as well as in the packaging of produce.
- Films comprising homogeneous alpha-olefin/vinyl aromatic polymer can also be used:
- thermoforming characteristics such as improved deep draw characteristics
- Olefin/vinyl aromatic copolymers can also be used in the preparation of foams, especially foam sheet, having improved thermoforming characteristics, especially in having improved resistance to cracking.
- the olefin/vinyl aromatic copolymer can be used to provide a polystyrene barrier tray, such as a barrier foam tray, with improved delamination resistance and structural integrity.
- the present invention is directed to a heat shrinkable film comprising an oriented film layer comprising a homogeneous alpha- olefin/vinyl aromatic copolymer, present in an amount of from about 30 to 100 weight percent, based on the weight of the film layer.
- the homogeneous alpha- olefin/vinyl aromatic copolymer has a vinyl aromatic mer content of from about 1-50 mole percent.
- the homogeneous alpha-olefin/vinyl aromatic copolymer in the film of the present invention comprises recurring units of the formula:
- x is greater than or equal to y, i.e., there must be a mole fraction of polymerization units (mers) derived from the alpha-olefin monomer (a mole fraction represented by "x", as determined by x/ ⁇ x+y ⁇ ) which is at least as great as the mole fraction of the polymerization units derived from the aromatic monomer (a mole fraction represented by "y”, as deteirriined by y/ ⁇ x+y ⁇ ).
- Ri comprises at least one member selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, Ci alkyl, C2 alkyl, C3 alkyl, C alkyl, Cs alkyl, and Co alkyl.
- R 2 comprises at least one member selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, Ci alkyl, C 2 alkyl, C 3 alkyl, C 4 alkyl, C 5 alkyl, and C ⁇ alkyl. Both Ri and R 2 cannot both be alkyl.
- R3 comprises a member selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, aromatic, and mixtures thereof.
- R is a member selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, aromatic, and mixtures thereof, provided that one member, and only one member, selected from the group consisting of Rj and R 4 is aromatic.
- a copolymer portion between every two adjacent members selected from the group consisting of aromatic CHR3 and aromatic CHR* comprises at least two -CH 2 - groups.
- a preferred film comprises a composition comprising (a) at least one member selected from the group consisting of homogeneous ethylene/vinyl aromatic copolymer and homogeneous propylene /vinyl aromatic copolymer; and (b) at least one member selected from the group consisting of polyethylene homopolymer, polypropylene homopolymer, ethylene /aliphatic alpha-olefin copolymer, ethylene/vinyl ester copolymer, ethylene/acrylic ester copolymer, ethylene/acrylic acid copolymer, polystyrene homopolymer, styrene/ aliphatic diene copolymer, propylene/aliphatic alpha-olefin copolymer, and ionomer.
- the homogeneous alpha-olefin/vinyl aromatic copolymer comprises ethylene mer and styrene mer.
- the ethylene mer is present in an amount of from about 75 mole percent to about 99 mole percent, and the styrene mer is present in an amount of from about 1 mole percent to
- the homogeneous alpha-olefin/vinyl aromatic copolymer comprises propylene mer and styrene mer.
- the homogeneous alpha-olefin/vinyl aromatic copolymer comprises a crosslinked polymer network.
- the film of the invention has a free shrink, at 900C, of at least
- the film comprises a film layer having a modulus of from about 5,000 to 150,000 psi; more preferably, from about 10,000 to 150,000 psi.; still more preferably, from about 15,000 to 50,000 psi.
- the film is a multilayer film, and although the film can be asymmetrical, symmetrical multilayer films provide a balanced structure which can be advantageous.
- Another preferred multilayer film comprises a first layer and a second layer.
- the first layer is an oxygen barrier layer and the second layer comprises the homogeneous alpha-olefin/vinyl aromatic copolymer.
- the oxygen barrier layer preferably comprises at least one member selected from the group consisting of ethylene/vinyl alcohol copolymer, polyvinylidene chloride, polyamide, polyaciylonitrile, polyester, and silica.
- Still another preferred multilayer film comprises a first layer and a second layer.

- TM MYLAR
- an upper MYLAR (TM) sheet was placed over and in contact with the powder, after which an upper stainless steel plate was placed over the upper MYLAR (TM) sheet, resulting in an assembly contiiining the resin powder.
- the assembly was heated to 385°F for 5 minutes without any substantial additional pressure being applied to the resin powder.
- 22,000 pounds of force was hydraulically applied to the resin by the press, this 22,000 pounds of force being maintained for 5 minutes, as the powder melted and was pressed into a film having a thickness of approximately 2 mils.
- this additional pressure was rri ⁇ untained for 5 additional (for a total of 10 minutes in the press), while the film was allowed to cool at a rate of about 15°C ⁇ 2°C/rnin, until a platen temperature of about 100°F was obtained, after which the film was removed from the press, and was allowed to cool to ambient temperature.
- the film was thereafter conditioned by being held for at least 40 hours at 73 °F, at 50% relative humidity. Duplicate runs were made on each sample, with the resulting data sets being merged, and a two-point smoothing algorithm, supplied in the Rheometrics Rhios 4.2.2 data analysis software, was used to obtain an average spectrum.

Tensile modulus (ASTM D 882-91, Method A) and free shrink properties were tested along each of the two orthogonal orientation directions on the film samples, and were then averaged. Impact strength (ASTM D 3763-86) was calculated by dividing the total energy to break by the average film thickness. Impact stress was calculated as the maximum force at impact divided by the average sample thickness. Table II below shows the comparative data for these two samples.
