Elastomer compositions having improved abrasion resistance, coefficient of friction and hot green strength

摘要

An elastomeric composition that provides excellent abrasion resistance and is useful for producing fabricated articles includes a plasticizer and a crystalline polyolefin phase that is either continuous or co-continuous with an ethylene/ alpha -olefin polymer phase. Certain compositions also contain a material that enhances Wet COF of the composition, and in some instances, processibility of the compositions. Other compositions obtain the same enhancement by choice of process conditions. The resulting articles also have an enhanced Wet COF.
