    Abstract: Polyolefin elastomers are widely employed commodity polymers. There remains a desire to expand the structural diversity of polyolefin elastomers to facilitate their use in additional applications. Polyolefin elastomers may be graft copolymers that comprise: a first polymer chain comprising at least a first olefinic monomer comprising isobutylene and a second olefinic monomer bearing a benzylic carbon atom or an allylic carbon atom, and a second polymer chain bonded to the benzylic carbon atom or the allylic carbon atom of the first polymer chain. The second polymer chain comprises at least one monomer that is not present in the first polymer chain. The second polymer chain may be bonded to the first polymer chain by generating a carbanion upon the benzylic carbon atom or the allylic carbon atom and growing the second polymer chain by anionic polymerization.

    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a new class of thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) and processes for making them. In some embodiments of the present invention, the end groups of the multi-arm PIB copolymer is a conjugated diene, whereas the other component is a multi-functional dienophile. The components of the TPE of the present invention are chemically connected via the well-known Diels-Alder reaction which is thermally reversible (by the retro-Diels-Alder reaction) at moderately elevated temperatures. The reversibility of the Diels-Alder retro-Diels-Alder reactions allows the recovery of the original components of the TPE and thus its recyclability and also gives the TPE the ability to be reshaped or reformed.

    Abstract translation: 本发明涉及一类新型热塑性弹性体(TPE)及其制备方法。 在本发明的一些实施方案中,多臂PIB共聚物的端基是共轭二烯,而另一组分是多官能亲双烯体。 本发明的TPE的组分通过公知的Diels-Alder反应进行化学连接,该反应在适度升高的温度下是热可逆的(通过狄尔斯 - 阿尔德反应)。 Diels-Alder retro-Diels-Alder反应的可逆性允许回收TPE的原始组分,从而回收TPE的可回收性,并且还使TPE具有改性或改性的能力。
