High-friction polymer blends comprising polypropylene and thermoplastic block copolymers

摘要

Compositions have been created comprising a blend of a polypropylene having less than 90 percent isotactic linkages and thermoplastic block copolymers. Specifically, the thermoplastic block copolymers comprise hard segments of polystyrene combined with soft segments comprising 2 to 8 carbon atoms. Some of the physical characteristics of materials made by these composition are more desirable than the same physical characteristics of materials made of the polypropylene having less than 90 percent isotactic linkages used to make the composition and of the same physical characteristics of materials made of the thermoplastic block copolymer used to make the composition.
