ELASTOMER PRECURSOR COMPRISING THERMOPLASTIC VULCANIZATE OR RUBBER PARTICLES INCORPORATED INTO A THERMOPLASTIC POLYMER IN A RUBBER MATRIX

摘要

A precursor to an elastomeric composition with improved properties is disclosed. The precursor comprises a cross-linkable rubber, a thermoplastic vulcanizate, and a cross-linking agent. An elastomeric composition produced by cross-linking of the rubber in the precursor and methods for manufacture of the precursor and the elastomeric composition are disclosed as well.
