title: The future with SEBS-based compounds.
abstract: Styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene (SEBS) block copolymers are thermoplastic elastomers that combine the properties of thermoplastics and rubbers in one polymer. After compounding with other materials to make them suitable for processing, new product opportunities are available including substitute materials for plasticized PVC. This article reviews the development and applications of these compounds.
