  • Process for manufacturing a thermoplastic elastomeric material
    Publication number: 20090156763
    Abstract: A process for manufacturing a thermoplastic elastomeric material includes at least one elastomeric phase and at least one thermoplastic phase by the following steps: surface-treating a vulcanized rubber in a subdivided form with an effective amount of at least one organometallic polymerization catalyst; and polymerizing at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer in the presence of the surface-treated vulcanized rubber in a subdivided form to obtain at least one thermoplastic phase.
    Type: Application

  • Process for Manufacturing a Thermoplastic Elastomeric Material
    Publication number: 20080132642
    Abstract: A process for manufacturing a thermoplastic elastomeric material includes the following steps: surface treating a vulcanized rubber in a subdivided form in order to provide radically transferable atoms or groups on its surface; grafting at least one vinyl monomer to the surface treated vulcanized rubber in the presence of at least one transition metal compound and at least one ligand so as to obtain a vinyl polymer grafted onto the surface of the vulcanized rubber in a subdivided form.
