Abstract

Cross-linked polymeric compositions, especially blends of polymers, comprise a linear low density ethylene homo or copolymer having a density, prior to cross-linking, of not more than 0.94 gm/cm<3> at 25 DEG C and containing less than 30 methyl groups per 1000 carbon atoms and substantially no long branches. The linear low density polymer may be blended with branched low density polyethylenes, linear high density polyethylenes or ethylene/unsaturated aliphatic ester copolymers. The polymers and blends are especially useful in the production of dimensionally recoverable articles such as heat-shrinkable sleeves and membranes for use as separators in electrolytic cells and batteries.
