styrenic block copolymers
Styrenic block copolymers are a type of synthetic polymer made from two different types of monomers: styrene and a rubbery segment, often derived from isoprene or butadiene. These materials combine the properties of hard and soft segments, resulting in a versatile material that can be used in various applications, including adhesives, sealants, and flexible plastics.
The unique structure of styrenic block copolymers allows them to exhibit both elasticity and strength. This makes them ideal for products that require durability and flexibility, such as rubber-like materials in automotive parts and consumer goods. Their ability to be processed easily also contributes to their widespread use in manufacturing.
