Researchers at Nagoya University and Zeon Corporation receive two awards for styrenic TPE
Researchers at Nagoya University and Zeon Corporation received two awards in May 2023 for the development of tough noncovalently-functionalized styrenic thermoplastic elastomers. They chemically modified Zeon’s QuintacTM, a styrenic thermoplastic elastomer marketed by Zeon Corporation, to develop “tough functionalized styrenic thermoplastic elastomers”. Since the newly developed SIS with noncovalently-functionalized polyisoprene is a lightweight yet tough and highly impact resistant material, its development should contribute to the goal of reaching a net-zero carbon and sustainable society.
