Abstract: Provided are multilayer synthetic rubber compositions formed from a layer of a styrene block copolymer composition and a layer of one or more synthetic elastomers, such as polychloroprene, polyisoprene, nitrile rubber, styrene butadiene rubber, butyl rubber and polyurethane. The multilayer compositions find use in the manufacture of thin walled articles, for example gloves, particularly medical or industrial gloves.

Abstract: Elastomeric styrenic block copolymer (SBC) compositions comprise one or more SBCs and one or more polymers miscible with styrenic end blocks of the one or more SBCs, the block copolymer compositions being both both physically and chemically crosslinked, where the chemical crosslinking comprises covalent bonds between chains of SBC and the physical crosslinking comprises non-covalent interaction between styrenic end blocks of the one or more SBCs and the one or more polymers miscible with the styrenic end blocks. The block copolymer compositions are useful in forming immersion articles such as surgical gloves.

Abstract: Provided are multilayer elastomer compositions such as multilayer films which possess the ability to self-repair upon puncturing. The multilayer elastomer compositions may be prepared from, for example, styrenic block copolymers and find use in the manufacture of thin walled articles, for example gloves, particularly medical or industrial gloves.
