Zusammenfassung:Packaging material comprised of a multilayer thermoplastic film structure may be used to form packaging articles, for example, stand up pouches, laminating films, and sealing/lidding stocks. The multilayer film structure contains a first layer comprised of an improved rubber modified styrenic copolymer, i.e. rubber modified styrene methyl methacrylate, a second layer comprised of a moisture barrier material, e.g. polyethylene, and a tie layer between the first and second layers made of a material selected from the group consisting of a styrene butadiene block copolymer, an ethylene vinyl acetate resin, and a maleic hydride modified ethylene vinyl acetate. An inner layer or layers of material having oxygen barrier properties, mechanical enhancement properties, or adhesive properties and a second tie layer comprising an appropriate material may be co-extruded with the first and second layers, and the tie layers for desired properties of the packaging material. The improved rubber modified styrenic copolymer of the first layer includes a continuous phase and a dispersed phase, where A) the continuous phase contains a polymer composition resulting from the polymerization of a monomer mixture containing a styrenic monomer and an alkyl (meth)acrylate monomer in the presence of the dispersed phase; and B) the dispersed phase contains one or more block copolymer selected from diblock and triblock copolymers of styrene-butadiene, styrene-butadiene-styrene, styrene-isoprene, styrene-isoprene-styrene, partially hydrogenated styrene-isoprene-styrene. The multilayer film structure generally is relatively clear to transparent with a Haze value ranging between 0.1% and 40%, and most preferably about 10%. La présente invention concerne un matériau de conditionnement composé d'une structure de film thermoplastique multicouche et pouvant être utilisé pour la fabrication d'articles de conditionnement, comme, par exemple, des sachets à maintien vertical, des films d'enduction et des matériaux de scellement/operculage. La structure de film multicouche comprend une première couche composée d'un copolymère styrénique modifié au caoutchouc amélioré, c'est-à-dire d'un méthacrylate de méthyle styrène modifié au caoutchouc, une seconde couche composée d'un matériau étanche à l'humidité, par exemple le polyéthylène, et une couche de liaison entre la première et la seconde couche composée d'un matériau sélectionné parmi un copolymère bloc styrène butadiène, une résine d'éthylène acéta
