The present disclosure relates to polymer compositions, articles formed from polymer compositions, methods of making polymer compositions, and methods of making articles including polymer compositions. In at least one embodiment, a composition includes: (1) an ethylene polymer, (2) a vinyl alcohol polymer or a polyamide, and (3) a polar polymer or a grafted polyolefin. A composition of the present disclosure may further include a polypropylene polymer. A polar polymer may be an ethylene-acrylic-acid-copolymer, ethylene acrylate copolymer, a polyvinyl acetate, or combination(s) thereof.

The present disclosure relates to a thermoplastic resin composition, a method of preparing the same, and a molded article including the same. For example, the present disclosure relates to a thermoplastic resin composition including 35 to 85% by weight of an alkyl acrylate-aromatic vinyl compound-vinyl cyanide compound graft copolymer (A) containing alkyl acrylate rubber having an average particle diameter of 50 to 120 nm and 15 to 65% by weight of a polymethacrylate resin (B). The thermoplastic resin composition has an alkyl acrylate coverage value (X) of 70% or more as calculated by Equation 1. The thermoplastic resin composition may have beneficial mechanical properties, such as impact strength, tensile strength, and flexural strength, surface hardness, transparency, and colorability and may be capable of preventing occurrence of whitening during bending due to beneficial non-whitening properties.

A process for increasing the chemical resistance of a polymeric composition is provided. The method includes a step of blending: a) the (meth)acrylic polymer AP1 and b) a copolymer CP1. The copolymer CP1 includes at least 41 wt % of vinyl aromatic monomer units by weight of the copolymer CPI. The polymeric composition includes at least 5 wt % of the copolymer CP1, by weight of the polymeric composition. A chemical resistance of the polymeric composition is better than a chemical resistance of the (meth)acrylic polymer AP1 without CP1. Chemical resistance is measured by a time to crack at 120° C. when subjected to an outer radius bending strain of 75% and wetted with a cloth soaked in isopropanol 99%.

Polar silane linkers are provided that attach to resins to form silane-functionalized resins. The functionalized resins can be bound to hydroxyl groups on the surface of silica particles to improve the dispersibility of the silica particles in rubber mixtures. Further disclosed are synthetic routes to provide the silane-functionalized resins, as well as various uses and end products that benefit from the unexpected properties of the silane-functionalized resins. Silane-functionalized resins impart remarkable properties on various rubber compositions, such as tires, belts, hoses, brakes, and the like. Automobile tires incorporating the silane-functionalized resins are shown to possess excellent results in balancing the properties of rolling resistance, tire wear, and wet braking performance.
