A thermoplastic elastomer composition is provided thermoplastic elastomerncomposition comprising a thermoplastic polymer, an at least partially borane-vulcanizednelastomer, and, optionally, an extender oil. Preferably, the composition is fully cured andnfurther comprises at least one of a metal halide and a metal oxide. Most preferred is anPP/EPDM thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) comprising both SnCl 2 and ZnO. Also provided isna process for preparing such thermoplastic elastomer compositions. |
