“…The resulting thermoplastic elastomer has outstanding biocompatibility, biostability, and mechanical properties and is a promising candidate for human implantation . By comparing with medical‐grade silicone rubber, the encrustation of arborescent PIB is comparable or even better, making it a promising material for breast implants …”

A Monte Carlo (MC) model is developed to predict molecular weight distribution and branching during the production of arborescent polyisobutylene. The model describes self‐condensing vinyl copolymerization (SCVCP) of isobutylene and inimer via living carbocationic polymerization. Six different propagation rate constants are required to account for two types of vinyl groups and three types of carbocations in the system. MC model predictions are better than predictions from a previous PREDICI material balance model because fewer simplifying assumptions are required. The MC model predictions reveal that reactions that were previously neglected have an important influence on polymer properties.

“…The concept of “one‐pot” living homopolymerization of IM molecules was first introduced by Fréchet et al in 1995, which they named self‐condensing vinyl polymerization (SCVP) . Later, self‐condensing vinyl copolymerization (SCVCP) of inimers and vinyl monomers was performed experimentally …”

“…TPEs can be stretched, and unlike rubber-like elastomers, they can be processed without curing or vulcanization because they are true thermoplastics. Conventional thermoplastic techniques such as injection molding, blow molding, and extrusion may be used in TPE processing (Chang et al 2006;Puskas et al 2010;Le et al 2003;Papke and Karger-kocsis 2001;Asami and Nitta 2004). Blends of thermoplastics such as HDPE and amorphous soft rubber such as EPDM are usually found in packing, kitchenware, toys, furniture, and electronics (Maysa et al 2011).…”

Properties of Kenaf Bast Powder-Filled High Density Polyethylene/Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer Composites

High-density polyethylene (HDPE)/ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM) blend was prepared by mixing HDPE and EPDM in an internal mixer. Kenaf fibers were then added to the mixture with a few minutes of mixing. The tensile properties of the HDPE/EPDM/kenaf composites were investigated using tensile testing and scanning electron microscopy. Treated kenaf bast powder was prepared using hydrochloric acid (HCl). Hydrolysis was carried out to study the effect of HCl on the structure, composition, and properties of the fibers. HCl treatment removed the impurities in the fibers, resulting in smooth fibers with a small particles size. Fourier transform infrared analysis showed a reduction in lignin, wax, and hemicellulose but no modification in surface chemical composition. The treated filled HDPE/EPDM composites had high tensile strength, elongation at break, and modulus than the untreated filled HDPE/EPDM composites.

“…[10][11][12][13][14] Los polímeros basados en el estireno-etileno/butileno-estireno (SEBS) derivan de polímeros de estireno-butadieno-estireno (SBS). El SEBS se obtiene por hidrogenación de polímeros de SBS; este proceso permite la eliminación de insaturaciones típicas de los componentes de butadieno (los dobles enlaces carbono-carbono están saturados con hidrógeno) y esto tiene un efecto positivo sobre la resistencia a la radiación ambiental, térmica y ultravioleta, manteniendo un comportamiento termoplástico, por lo que el SEBS es útil en aplicaciones en las que el SBS está restringido, debido a su sensibilidad a la degradación.…”
