Abstract
Abstract Hydrogenated tetrablock polydienes such as polybutadiene-polyisoprene-polybutadiene-polyisoprene exhibit improved elongation as compared to both of the very similar hydrogenated triblock polydienes polybutadiene-polyisoprene-polybutadiene and polyisoprene-polybutadiene-polyisoprene.
