Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Polyolefin block and graft copolymers comprised of two or more semicrystalline polyolefin blocks or grafts and one or more amorphous polyolefin blocks can be blended with a low molecular weight fluid diluent that preferentially locates within and swells the amorphous domains of the block or graft copolymer, while preserving the crystallinity of the semicrystalline block domains. After mechanical or thermomechanical processing, such compositions combine softness with high strength and high recoverable elasticity. Compositions are also disclosed whereby the diluent species is removed from the composition, either before or after the mechanical or thermomechanical processing, in order to create a strong elastic material with an ultra-low entanglement density within the amorphous domains.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A polymer gel composition comprising a mixture of (a) one or more semicrystalline polyolefin block or graft copolymers and (b) one or more fluid diluents, wherein: each semicrystalline polyolefin copolymer is an A-B block or graft co-polymeric material comprised of two or more blocks or grafts of a semicrystalline polyolefin A bridged by one or more blocks of an amorphous polyolefin B; each fluid diluent is miscible or partially miscible with the amo…
