Abstract
Abstract A laminated structure comprising a plurality of polymeric layers at least two of said polymeric layers bonded together with an adhesive composition comprising a modified olefin polymer and at least one selectively hydrogenated block copolymer having at least one block which is predominantly a monoalkenyl aromatic hydrocarbon polymer block and at least one block which is a hydrogenated conjugated diolefin polymeric block. The adhesive composition used in the laminated structure significantly improves compatibility of the various polymeric layers thereby enabling the laminated structure or any excess thereof to be used in recycle as well as various molding applications.
