Abstract

We found that the tensile strength and modulus of the hydrogenated styrene-b-styrene-co-butadiene-b-styrene triblock copolymers distinctly increased with increasing the degrees of hydrogenation (DHs). The enhancement of the mechanical properties is attributed to the increase in the segregation of the microphase structure by increasing the DHs owing to the increase in the incompatibility of polystyrene and hydrogenated SB block segments predicted by the solubility parameter difference.
