Styrenic thermoplastic elastomer SBS

Styrenic thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), specifically Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS), represent a versatile class of materials that combine the flexibility of elastomers with the processability of thermoplastics. SBS is a block copolymer composed of styrene and butadiene segments, arranged in a linear structure. The styrene domains provide rigidity and strength, while the butadiene segments contribute elasticity and flexibility. This unique molecular structure imparts excellent mechanical properties and resilience to SBS, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring softness, durability, and ease of processing.
