ABSTRACT:
The present invention includes a blend composition comprising at least one coupled propylene polymer and at least 55 weight percent of at least one ethylene polymer, based on the total weight of the coupled propylene polymer and the ethylene polymer. The invention also includes methods for making the coupled propylene polymer and methods for making the blend composition. The present invention further includes films made from the blend composition.
