摘要:
Provided are thermoplastic polymer compositions having a single melting point, articles made therefrom, and methods for elevating the melting point of low melting point polymers. Thermoplastic polymer compositions are composed of one or more high melting point polyolefins and a thermoplastic component that includes a low melting point polypropylene. High melting point polyolefins are composed of a stereoregular polypropylene having a tacticity similar to the low melting point polypropylene. The low melting point polypropylene includes, for example, propylene homopolymers and copolymers composed of propylene and one or more comonomers. Thermoplastic polymer compositions may also optionally contain any of the various additives commonly used in such polymer compositions, such as for example oils, etc. In one embodiment, thermoplastic polymer compositions are thermoplastic elastomer compositions that include an elastomeric component composed of an elastomer or rubber. The elastomeric component may be substantially or partially crosslinked to form a thermoplastic vulcanizate.

摘要:
Thermoplastic elastomers containing ethylene, alpha-olefin, vinyl norbornene elastomeric polymers provide superior cure levels to thermoplastic elastomers containing ethylene, alpha-olefin, diene monomer elastomeric polymers with other dienes than vinyl norbornene. The elastomeric polymers, along with a thermoplastic, curative, and other components will have cure levels in excess of 95 percent. Lower diene incorporation into the polymer combined with lower curative levels yield a fabricated article with improved resistance to compression set and improved heat aging.
