A polymer or blend of polymers that does not require vulcanization on crosslinking during processing, yet has properties, at its service temperature, similar to those of vulcanized rubber; these properties disappear at processing temperature, so that further processing is possible, but return when the material is returned to its service temperature. 5, record 1, English, - thermoplastic%20rubber

Thermoplastic elastomers ... The leading commercial types are styrene block copolymers having a structure which, unlike the random distribution of monomer units in conventional polymers, consists of polystyrene segments or blocks connected by rubbery polymers such as polybutadiene, polyisoprene, or ethylenebutylene polymer. 6, record 1, English, - thermoplastic%20rubber

Il y a lieu de mettre à part une classe d'élastomères qui se caractérise non pas par des propriétés chimiques les destinant à des usages spéciaux, mais par le fait qu'ils peuvent être utilisés sans avoir été vulcanisés et, en conséquence, être mis en œuvre comme des plastiques : celle des élastomères thermoplastiques. Les premiers, mis sur le marché au cours des années 1960, sont des copolymères, dits copolymères-blocs, constitués en principe de trois longues séquences : une séquence centrale élastomérique (polybutadiène ou polyisoprène) d'assez grande longueur et deux séquences terminales non élastomériques (polystyrène) plus courtes. 7, record 1, French, - caoutchouc%20thermoplastique
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Les élastomères thermoplastiques comblent le vide qui existait jusqu'alors entre les caoutchoucs et les matières plastiques. [...] Vis-à-vis des plastiques, ils représentent un complément de gamme en apportant deux caractéristiques importantes : la fonction élastique, la possibilité accrue de réalisation de produits souples (sans additif) qui demeurerait jusqu'alors limitée au PEbd et au PVC plastifié. 4, record 1, French, - caoutchouc%20thermoplastique

The extra number of air spaces in the Light Spirit Blend yarn is the secret of its breathability and open structure. The new Dacron fibre in Light Spirit Blend is 12 times as wetable as conventional polyester because it is made from a hydrophylic water loving polymer. This permits the fabric to quickly pick up moisture and rapidly move it to the fabric surface where it evaporates. 1, record 2, English, - Light%20Spirit%20BlendLa%20marque%20de%20commerce%20Pyrotronique%20%5Bexposant%20MC%5D%20appartient%20%C3%A0%20la%20soci%C3%A9t%C3%A9%20%C3%89tienne%20Lacroix%2C%20de%20France%2E
