One such cost-effective performance polymer choice is plasticized PVC. However, significant attention has been placed on evaluating more environmentally and biologically-friendly polymers. Styrene-ethylenebutylene-styrene (SEBS) copolymer rubbers, SEBS\/polypropylene blends, TPEs (thermoplastic elastomers) and polypropylenes are emerging as high performance alternatives. TPEs in particular are being employed to replace plasticized, low-durometer PVC in medical device applications, where biocompatibility characteristics are crucial. Adhesive bonding to these polymers, however, can be challenging.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The desire to find a cost-effective, yet environmentally friendly alternative to PVC is the focus of a new technical paper: Bonding Styrenic Copolymers and Thermoplastic Elastomers in the Quest to Replace PVC.
