Film Containing a Polyalkylene Carbonate

Abstract

A film is provided including from about 10 wt. % to about 90 wt. % of at least one polyalkylene carbonate and from about 10 wt. % to about 90 wt. % of at least one polyolefin. The film can be utilized as a packaging film, or as in the construction of an absorbent article (e.g., as the outer cover/backsheet of the article). The film can be a multi-layered film including a core layer that constitutes from about 20% to about 90% of the thickness of the film and an outer layer positioned adjacent to the core layer, with the core layer including from about 10 wt. % to about 90 wt. % of at least one polyalkylene carbonate and from about 10 wt. % to about 90 wt. % of at least one polyolefin. The outer layer can contain about 50 wt. % or more of at least one polyolefin.
