"Research progress in preparation of thermoplastic elastomers by living controlled polymerization"

Abstract

Starting with polymerization methods such as anionic polymerization, cationic polymerization, ring-opening polymerization, and controlled free radical polymerization, the research progress of different types of thermoplastic elastomer synthesis technology was summarized with 55 references, as well as other new fields and new directions of thermoplastic elastomer research progress such as the combination of supramolecular chemistry and polymer synthesis.
