Enhanced Heat Resistance and Adhesive Strength of Styrene–Acrylic Triblock Copolymer Elastomers by Incorporating Acrylic Acid
Hirokazu Mogami, Hideharu Mori
Abstract
-AA) as hard segments at both ends, exhibited excellent heat creep resistance and increased adhesiveness to stainless steel. The feasibility to manipulate the heat resistance and adhesive properties by incorporating AA units into hard and soft segments, in addition to the ease of operation, high block efficiency, and metal-free nature owing to the RAFT process, is highly beneficial for practical applications of these copolymers.
