“Optimization of Macromolecular Architecture in Styrene/Diene Block Copolymer Thermoplastic Elastomers”
Abstract:
Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are rubbery materials that can undergo large reversible deformation. Unlike conventional crosslinked rubber, TPEs do not require chemical crosslinking, which gives advantages of lower processing costs and easy recycling. Conventional styrene/diene TPEs, for example Kraton® – a product of Kraton Polymers and a major commercial product, have changed little since their discovery 50 years ago by Shell Oil Company….
