Thermoplastic elastomeric material as a replacement for natural rubber latex

摘要

The present invention provides functionally modified thermoplastic elastomeric compounds composed of at least one polystyrene hard domain, at least one polyolefin rubber domain and at least one cross-linkable compound interspersed within one or more of the domains. Methods for making and using these thermoplastic elastomeric compounds are also provided as are articles made from these compounds along with methods for making such articles.
