Polypropylene polymer compositions are disclosed that can be formulated to have excellent clarity properties in conjunction with excellent impact resistance properties at subzero temperatures. The polypropylene polymer compositions are heterophasic compositions containing a first phase polymer combined with a second phase polymer. The first phase polymer is a polypropylene and alpha-olefin copolymer while the second phase polymer is also a polypropylene and alpha-olefin random copolymer. The second phase polymer contains relatively high amounts of ethylene. The increased amounts of ethylene in the second phase polymer were found to dramatically improve impact resistance at subzero temperatures.

The invention relates to the composition of core-shell impact modifiers, in particular those with a high T.sub.g core, a low T.sub.g inner shell and a high T.sub.g outer shell, synthesized in such a way to have a unique concentric morphology and/or a combination of high rubber loading and low particle size and/or require only a low surfactant level. The incorporation of these impact modifiers into polymeric compositions allows for a novel combination of high impact while retaining high gloss or a combination of high impact while retaining low haze in the presence of water at elevated temperatures. These impact modifiers also allow excellent efficiency in their use- allowing for excellent impact to be achieved at low loadings.

A resin composition includes a cellulose ester compound (A), a poly(meth)acrylate compound (B) containing 50% by weight or more of a constituting unit derived from a (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester, a polyester resin (C), and at least one polymer (D) selected from a polymer with a core shell structure having a core layer and a shell layer containing a polymer of a (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester on a surface of the core layer, and an olefin polymer which is a polymer of an α-olefin and a (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester and contains 60% by weight or more of a constituting unit derived from the α-olefin.

The invention discloses a preparation method of highly transparent self-adhesive PBAT cling film. The raw materials include PBAT, ACR, glycerin, and glycerin fatty acid ester; the preparation methods include mixing, preparing pellets, film blowing, and film winding. In the invention, ACR is added into PBAT resin, which increases the ductility, shrinkage property and flatness of winding of PBAT cling films; glycerin can improve the extrusion stability, softness and adhesion properties of PBAT cling films; glycerin fatty acid ester can improve the anti-fog property of PBAT cling films; meanwhile, glycerin and glycerin fatty acid can play a synergistic role to further enhance the anti-fog property of PBAT cling films. The PBAT cling film prepared by the invention has superior physical property, high transparency, high adhesion property, high shrinkage property, smooth flatness of winding free of wrinkles and good air permeability.

The present disclosure provides layered collagen materials comprising one or more collagen/polymer matrix layers. The collagen/polymer matrix layer(s) are formed of a collagen blended with one or more polymers. The collagen blended within the polymer(s) can be dissolved within the polymer(s). The one or more collagen/polymer matrix layers can be attached to a substrate layer, for example a fabric layer.
