Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to styrenic block copolymers which are both physically and chemically cross-linked.
  • the copolymers find advantageous use in the manufacture of elastic dipped articles, for example gloves and condoms.
  • Thin-walled elastic dipped articles are traditionally made of natural rubber (NR), polychloroprene (CR), polyisoprene (IR), polyurethane (PU), nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), styrenic block copolymers (SBC), mixtures thereof or laminations thereof.
  • NR natural rubber
  • CR polychloroprene
  • IR polyisoprene
  • PU polyurethane
  • NBR nitrile butadiene rubber
  • SBC styrenic block copolymers
  • Natural rubber is used in such applications as it is a natural product which offers exceptional performance.
  • sensitizing proteins which are responsible for immediate type hypersensitivity (type I allergies) has restricted its use.
  • synthetic materials have been developed as alternatives.
  • Thin-walled elastic films are usually shaped for the intended application (glove, condom, etc) by dipping a form of an appropriate shape into a liquid mixture of the polymer, which may be either a dispersion in water (latex) or a solution in one or more appropriate solvents. A solid film is formed following the evaporation of water or other solvents.
  • Vulcanization is the traditional chemical cross-linking mechanism for most elastomeric materials such as NR or IR. Vulcanization creates sulphur covalent bonds that link one polymer chain to another.
  • chemical additives such as "accelerators” are added. Accelerators may be of many types and are usually classified within the following families: thiazoles, carbamates, guanidines, thiourea and thiurams. It is common practice to use a mixture of different accelerators selected from the different families to optimize the vulcanization speed and performance.
  • accelerators are not.
  • a typical glove formulation made of polyisoprene can comprise up to 2% of accelerators.
  • the accelerator molecules have poor solubility in water and cannot be removed from the glove by washing. Also, they may "bloom" at the surface of the film over time, due to their limited compatibility with the rubber. Accelerators are also strong skin sensitizers and can cause allergic contact dermatitis (delayed hypersensitivity, type IV).
  • NR, CR, IR and NBR are the more common elastomers and are all transformed into thin walled films starting from water dispersions, also known as lattices.
  • thin walled films produced from lattices have the disadvantage that the resulting products are sometimes prone to having pinholes. These pinholes, often on the order of micrometers in diameter, may be the result of low levels of impurities in the latex which are difficult to filter out, and to the fact that the process converts a heterogeneous system (dispersion) into a film.
  • some other synthetic polymers can be dissolved in solvents, such as hydrocarbon solvents, to form a true solution. Accordingly, solvent cast technology is attractive for the production of films with extremely high-quality requirements and almost no microporosity. Pinholes are also much less likely to be present.
  • Multiblock rubber based copolymers and especially styrenic block copolymer (SBCs), are particularly suitable to be used for solvent casting as they can form solutions with acceptable viscosities that can be utilised for dipping.
  • SBCs styrenic block copolymer
  • SBCs are classified as thermoplastic elastomers, which possess the mechanical properties of rubbers and the processing characteristics of thermoplastics. These properties result from their molecular structure. SBCs consist of at least three blocks, generally two hard polystyrene end blocks and one soft, elastomeric (polybutadiene, polyisoprene - hydrogenated or not) midblock.
  • More common SBCs comprise linear triblock copolymers such as styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene (SEBS), styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) and styrene-isoprene-styrene (SIS), but other architectures (for example copolymers composed of more than 3 blocks) and other structures (star or radial) are also possible.
  • SEBS styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene
  • SBS styrene-butadiene-styrene
  • SIS styrene-isoprene-styrene
  • the hard and soft blocks are immiscible, so that, on a microscopic scale, the polystyrene blocks form separate domains in the rubber matrix. Therefore, SBCs exhibit two glass transition temperatures (Tg) which are characteristic of the respective homopolymer (polystyrene end-block, 90-100°C and rubbery mid-block at around -90°C in the case of polybutadiene, for example).
  • Tg glass transition temperatures
  • SBCs are capable of forming elastic films with high mechanical performance without the use of any chemical cross-linking such as sulphur and accelerators, since both ends of each rubbery block are terminated by polystyrene segments and these rigid domains act as multifunctional junction points to produce a "physically" crosslinked elastomer network, similar in many respects of that of a conventional vulcanized rubber ("chemical crosslinking").
  • these elastomers can advantageously be formulated with suitable plasticizers to provide a desirable combination of tensile strength, elasticity and tactility, such as is required, for example, for surgical gloves.
  • the ultimate force at break and tensile strength are important factors in assessing the performance of thin walled extensible films such as condoms or gloves, which should be evaluated following international standards.
  • a surgical glove should provide a high sensitivity while at the same time not compressing the wearer's hand over a prolonged period of time.
  • a Modulus at 100% elongation below 1.0 MPa, and ideally below 0.7 MPa is preferred.
  • SBCs Suitably formulated with plasticizer, SBCs can meet all international standards and can achieve comparable, and in many cases superior, flexibility and mechanical properties to those of other elastomers such as NRL, CR, IR. This means that the material can perform mechanically in a manner comparable or superior to other elastomers while avoiding the shortcomings of latex-based elastomers such as accelerators and pinholes.
  • SBCs are particularly suitable for use in thin-walled film applications such as medical gloves providing excellent properties including, synthetic rubber free of natural rubber proteins, accelerator free, softness, as well as films with extremely high quality having almost no pinholes and no hydration.

  • MMA methyl methacrylate monomer
  • PS 18.6
  • diethyl ether which is used as a solvent in some preparations, such as collodion.
  • the weak chemical resistance to these solvents is a major limitation of this family of elastomers for gloves for surgical usage.
