Methods for processing LLDPE recyclates including, but not limited to, polyethylene and polypropylene and compositions therefrom are provided. LLDPE recyclate can be visbroken to improve processing characteristics and/or devolatilized to remove waste byproducts to produce processed LLDPE recyclates. Processed LLDPE recyclates are compounded with pre-consumer polyolefins to produce blend compositions having acceptable or even improved processing characteristics. Such pre-consumer polyolefins can also be visbroken to further tailor processing characteristics of such polymer blends. A combination of extruders and/or extruder zones can be used at the same or different locations for visbreaking and/or compounding of both LLDPE recyclate and/or pre-consumer polyolefins.

In various aspects, the present disclosure pertains to thermoformable, multi-layer polymer films comprising a core layer that is comprised of a blend of high density polyethylene and low density polyethylene and, at least one outermost layer that is comprised of a blend of a cyclic olefin copolymer, polyethylene, a functionalized polymer, a dispersing agent and a mineral filler. The present disclosure includes thermoformed webs made from such films, the webs having one or more thermoformed cavities contained therein. Other aspects of the disclosure pertain to methods of forming such thermoformed webs, packaged products comprising such thermoformed webs, and methods of recycling such thermoformed webs.

The present invention relates to a product comprising cellulose fibers wherein the cellulose fibers are at least partly modified to contain dialcohol cellulose and a melt-processing method of preparing the same.

A flame-retardant antimicrobial agent is a polymer microsphere with the surface grafted thereof with a guanidine salt. The polymer microsphere has a cross-linked structure composed of a structural unit A derived from maleic anhydride, a structural unit B derived from a monomer M, and a structural unit C derived from a cross-linking agent. The monomer M is selected from a C.sub.4-C.sub.9 aliphatic olefin or a mixture thereof, and the guanidine salt comprises at least one guanidine salt having the property of flame resistance. The flame-retardant antimicrobial agent has both a good antimicrobial effect and a good flame-retardant effect. A flame-retardant antimicrobial thermoplastic resin composition containing the flame-retardant antimicrobial agent also has a good flame-retardant and antimicrobial performance and a good overall performance.
