The use of a block copolymer of the following structure. Wherein R and R.sup.1 may be the same or different and each independently represents an alkyl or aryl group, X may be hydrogen or C.sub.1 to C.sub.20 alkyl group which may be branched or linear and wherein the aromatic ring substituent joined to polymer B is positioned meta or para to the aromatic ring substituent joined to polymer A and, wherein polymer A is a polymer (or copolymer) of ethylene and polymer B is a polymer of monomers selected from vinyl acetate, C.sub.1-C.sub.9 acrylate esters, acrylic acid and mixtures thereof as an additive in polyethylene or polyethylene terephthalate to improve the adhesion between co-extruded layers of the polyethylene and the polyethylene terephthalate and laminated films derived from such use.

The present invention relates to an organic zinc compound comprising a styrene-based polymer or a polyolefin-polystyrene block copolymer at both ends. Also, the present invention relates to a method for preparing the organic zinc compound, the method preparing an intermediate by coordination-polymerizing an olefin monomer using a transition metal catalyst, and then performing anionic polymerization by inserting an alkyllithium compound, an amine ligand, and a styrene-based monomer into the intermediate. Accordingly, the present invention can provide a method for preparing a commercially useful styrene-based polymer or polyolefin-polystyrene block copolymer directly from an olefin monomer and a styrene monomer in a one-pot manner.
