Abstract

Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) containing side chain crystalline (SCC) blocks. The SCC blocks my be hard (A) blocks or the soft (B) blocks (or both) in the TPE. Some of these TPEs are novel, e.g. those in which A blocks are SCC blocks, and the B blocks are polyethers, polyacrylates, polyamides, polyurethanes or polysiloxanes. The SCC-containing TPEs are particularly useful as matrix materials for other components which are dispersed therein, e.g. energetic solids and other thermally responsive materials.
