Styrenic block copolymers are the largest volume and one of the lowest priced commercial thermoplastic elastomers. They are produced by ionic copolymerization of styrene and butadiene (SBS) or of styrene and 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene (SIS). These polymers are often blended with many other polymers, and with oil and fillers, which allows for a versatile modification of product properties.
When cooled from the melt state to a temperature below the glass transition, the polystyrene blocks phase separate to form rigid and hard domains that act as physical cross-links for the elastomeric diene blocks.
The most important tri-block copolymer is SBS. It has higher tensile strength than SBR rubber but only limited heat resistance. SBS and SIS are less resilient than chemically crosslinked elastomers and thus, do not recover as efficiently from deformation as vulcanized diene elastomers.
This report elaborates the market size, market characteristics, and market growth of the SBS industry, and breaks down according to the type, application, and consumption area of SBS. The report also conducted a PESTEL analysis of the industry to study the main influencing factors and entry barriers of the industry.
In Chapter 3.4 of the report, the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the industry was fully assessed. Fully risk assessment and industry recommendations were made for SBS in a special period. This chapter also compares the markets of Pre COVID-19 and Post COVID-19.
In addition, chapters 8-12 consider the impact of COVID-19 on the regional economy.
