Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to the fields of polymer chemistry. More particularly, it concerns monovinylarene- conjugated diene copolymers with lower T g relative to reference styrene-butadiene copolymers.
- monovinylarene-conjugated diene copolymers are generally slightly less favorable for use, as their glass transition temperatures (T g ), which is the temperature at which shrinking occurs, are typically in the range of about 95°C to about 108°C. This relatively high T g requires the use of a relatively large amount of heat to reach the temperatures at which shrinking occurs. Therefore, it would be desirable to have monovinylarene-butadiene copolymers with lower T g and more ready heat shrink processibility.
