Abstract
Abstract Disclosed are polymer compositions comprising from about 75 to about 99% by weight of the reaction product of (a) from about 50 to about 90% by weight, based on the weight of the reaction product, of an ethylenically unsaturated polyester derived from an α,β-ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid with a saturated aliphatic polyol, and (b) from about 50 to about 10% by weight, based on the weight of the reaction product, of a modified polyolefin derived from an α,β-ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid anhydride and a polyolefin. The compositions preferably include from about 25 to about 1% by weight of a polymer or copolymer of an olefin in the reaction product, the polymer or copolymer having a molecular weight of from about 500 to about 50,000.
