Abstract

Polymers containing a high percentage of vinyl alcohol units, when treated with acid to remove impurities, may be blended with low levels of copolymers of alkyl methacrylates and N-vinyllactams or N-vinylamides, optionally containing copolymerized acid, and processed into sheet, film, fiber and other objects which exhibit a useful balance of barrier and strength properties.
