Abstract
Thermoplastic elastomers were synthesized using a method for preparation of block copolymers introduced by Tobolsky and Rembaum. A hydroxy‐terminated polyester or polyether was chain extended with tolylene diisocyanate and capped with cumene hydroperoxide. The high molecular weight peroxycarbamate was used as initiator for polymerization of styrene, methyl methacrylate, or acrylonitrile monomer. Their physical properties were investigated by modulus–temperature curves. The effect of composition on modulus was also examined.Keywords
