摘要:
An Amine neutralized sulfonated block copolymer and a method for neutralizing a sulfonated block copolymer, the process including providing a solution comprising an organic solvent and the non-neutralized block copolymer in micellar form, and adding at least one amine to the solution.
摘要:
The present invention provides an aqueous emulsion and a process for preparing an aqueous emulsion of a midblock sulfonated styrenic block copolymer comprising at least two non-sulfonated polymer end-blocks A and at least one 5 sulfonated block B comprising the steps of providing a cement of a midblock sulfonated styrenic block copolymer in a non-polar solvent wherein the non-polar solvent is a hydrocarbon compound comprising from 5 to 12 carbon atoms with a boiling point of less than 100 degree Celsius or mixture of such compounds, mixing the cement with a co-solvent to form a mixture, emulsifying the mixture optionally in the 10 presence of an emulsifier with water to produce an emulsion, and removing the hydrocarbon solvent and optionally the co-solvent from the emulsion to produce the aqueous emulsion. The resulting emulsion of the midblock sulfonated styrenic block copolymer has relatively small particle diameters.
摘要:
An adhesive composition comprising: one or more block copolymers and one or more tackifying resins, wherein said one or more block copolymers comprise (i) one or more blocks of polymerized alkenyl arene monomer (A block), (ii) one or more blocks of polymerized conjugated diene monomer (B block), and optionally at least one low molecular weight (compared to B block) block of polymerized conjugated diene (C block), where the A, B, and C blocks can vary independent of each other with regard to composition and molecular weight.
