ABSTRACT:
Molded polymer blends comprising a polyolefin, e.g., polyethylene, a poly(alkylene oxide), e.g., poly(ethylene oxide), and a polylactone, e.g., polycaprolactone, are disclosed. The polymer blends are substantially homogeneous and become lubricious when exposed to water. The polymer blends are suitable for use, for example, in personal care articles such as lubricious strips for razors and in medical articles such as, for example, catheters and probes.
