ZUSAMMENSETZUNG VERWENDBAR FÜR ELASTOMERE ARTIKEL UND AUS DIESER ZUSAMMENSETZUNG HERGESTELLTE ARTIKEL

摘要

The invention is a composition useful in preparing elastomeric articles which comprises: (a) from 70 to 95 parts by weight of one or more monovinylidene aromatic monomer conjugated diene block copolymer(s) and (b) from 5 to 30 parts by weight of a thermoplastic polymer comprising one or more of: i) a copolymer comprising a monovinylidene aromatic monomer and an anhydride; ii) polystyrene; iii) polyethylene; iv) an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, or a mixture thereof. At least 40 percent by weight of the block copolymers have the conjugated diene block comprised of isoprene. The weight percent of monovinylidene aromatic monomer in the block copolymer is from 10 to 35 percent by weight and the total block copolymer composition contains no more than 4 percent by weight of a diblock. The total parts of block copolymer and thermoplastic polymer is 100 parts. Films prepared from the composition exhibit a creep compliance of 1.5 MPa<-1> or less, a retention of 60 percent or greater as measured according to ASTM-D2991 at 30 minutes, and a permanent deformation of 10 percent or less as measured according to ASTM-D4649. In another embodiment, the invention comprises elastomeric articles comprising the composition of the invention.
