n A group of thermo plastic elastomers. They are linear copolymers of styrene and butadiene, produced by lithium catalyzed solution polymerization, with a sandwich molecular structure containing a long Polybutadiene center surrounded by shorter polystyrene ends. A copolymer of styrene and butadiene made by emulsion polymerization for use in latex paints.
