A polymeric composition includes an ethylene-based polymer, one or more of an ionomer and an acid copolymer, a flame-retardant filler, and a maleic anhydride functionalized polyolefin. The polymeric composition has an MAH Product of 3 or greater.

A polymer composition including a crosslinkable thermoplastic matrix, a crosslinking agent, a blowing agent, and at least one cell opener is provided. A method of producing an open cell polymer foam from the polymer composition is also provided. The method includes heating a foamable precursor under positive pressure to a temperature greater than a decomposition temperature of the crosslinking agent and below a decomposition temperature of the chemical blowing agent to produce a primary foam. Then, the method includes heating the primary foam to a temperature greater than the decomposition temperature of the chemical blowing agent and then allowing the primary foam to cool to a temperature below a softening temperature of the crosslinkable thermoplastic polymer to form the open cell polymer foam. The produced open cell polymer foam has an open cell content of at least 80% immediately following the step of allowing the primary foam to cool.

Described herein is a composition, including bismuth vanadate pigment dispersed in a copolymer of ethylene with at least one comonomer, selected from the group consisting of (meth)acrylic acid, C.sub.1-12-alkyl (meth)acrylates and maleic anhydride.
