The disclosure relates to a hydrogenated styrenic block copolymer with high vinyl content, low viscosity, low order-disorder temperature and improved processability. The hydrogenated styrenic block copolymers can be extruded or molded with a minimum of additives. The hydrogenated styrenic block copolymers have high melt flows allowing for ease in processing such as injection molding, overmolding, dipping, extrusion, roto-molding, slush molding, fiber spinning, film making, 3D printing and foaming.

The present disclosure provides a primer composition. In an embodiment, the primer composition includes a functionalized polyolefin, a functionalized styrenic block copolymer containing greater than or equal to 20 wt % polymerized styrene, a solvent composition and an isocyanate component. The primer composition is suitable for use as an adhesive layer between a substrate and a polyolefin layer.

The latex polymer compositions of the present invention exhibit latent crosslinking properties. Latent crosslinking in the polymers takes advantage of the fast interaction between the anionic latex charge and the cationic charge associated with polyfunctional amine crosslinkers. Once the latex is coated onto a substrate, the volatile base evaporates and the groups react to form a crosslinked coating with improved wash-off properties.

There are provided a thermoplastic resin composition capable of bonding a cyclic polyolefin-based polymer and an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer with sufficient strength and to provide a laminate using the same.

Disclosed is a curable composition for forming a stretchable resin layer, containing: (A) an elastomer having a polystyrene chain; (B) monofunctional straight-chain alkyl (meth)acrylate; (C) monofunctional (meth)acrylate having an alicyclic group; (D) a difunctional or higher compound having two or more ethylenically unsaturated groups; and (E) a polymerization initiator.

An organic light emitting diode (OLED) cushioning film including a foamed layer is described. The foamed layer includes an olefin-styrene block copolymer at 30 to 80 weight percent and a tackifier at 15 to 60 weight percent. The tackifier has a softening point of at least 130? C. A light emitting article including an OLED layer laminated to the OLED cushioning film is described.

The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing an electrode laminate and to a flexible and stretchable electrode laminate manufactured using the same. The method includes (a) printing a conductive print ink including a metal precursor, an organic solvent, and a polymer on a flexible substrate to thus form a conductive print ink pattern impregnated into the flexible substrate, and (b) reducing the conductive print ink pattern to thus manufacture the electrode laminate. The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a flexible and stretchable electrode laminate which is simpler and which consumes less time than a conventional manufacturing method.
