1. How to Select SEBS for Heat-Resistant TPE1.1 Molecular ArchitectureWhen heat resistance is required, the molecular architecture of SEBS is an important factor. However, it should not be oversimplified as “star-shaped SEBS is always better.” In SEBS-based TPEs, the styrene domains mainly act as ph
SBS and SEBS are two common types of Styrenic Block Copolymer (SBC) within the thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) family. Both combine rubber elasticity with thermoplastic processing advantages, but they differ in structure and performance.What is SBS?SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene) is a triblock copolym
EVA has become the mainstream base material for foamed shoes such as slippers, children’s shoes, and casual footwear, thanks to its low cost and excellent processability. However, EVA has clear shortcomings: insufficient resilience and support, weak abrasion and slip resistance, low tensile strength
1. Main Applications of SEBSCompared with SBS, SEBS exhibits a higher degree of main-chain saturation. After hydrogenation, the polybutadiene blocks become tightly entangled, providing SEBS with greater crosslinking effects per unit volume. This structural advantage gives SEBS high modulus and excel
