Styrenic TPE for Hot Melt Adhesives, 1992 Hot Melt Symposium Proceedings
Adhesive formulations based on styrenic block copolymers (SBS and SIS), and specially the relationships between dynamic-mechanical analysis and technological tests have been tested and discussed.
Four styrene-isoprene block copolymers (at styrene content in the range 15-35% by weight) and three styrene-butadiene block copolymers, with different molecular architecture (linear, radial, multiblock) have been examined.
The compatibility between the above-mentioned block copolymers and four different tackifiers (rosin ester, C5 resin, hydrogenated hydrocarbon, and modified terpene) has been investigated through the dynamic mechanical analysis and traditional adhesives tests.
