Abstract:
A thermoplastic elastomer composition which is obtained by dynamically crosslinking a polymer composition comprising a rubber, an olefin resin, etc . and in which the rubber particles have an average particle diameter in a specific range. Due to this constitution, the composition has an excellent balance between mechanical properties, such as flexibility and elastic recovery, and moldability. When the composition contains a (meth)acrylate resin and a hydrogenated diene polymer, it especially has excellent scratch resistance. When the composition contains a maleimide compound, it especiall y has excellent injection fusibility. When the composition contains an unmodified organopolysiloxane having a specific viscosity and a modified organopolysiloxane, it is excellent especially in initial sliding properties and long-term sliding properties.

Abstract:
A thermoplastic elastomer composition which has a three-dimensional network structure not attributable to chemical crosslinking and is excellent in elastic recovery and flexibility; and a foam which has a high percentage of closed cells, has an even cell shape, and is excellent in elastic recovery, flexibility, and surface appearance. The thermoplastic elastomer composition is obtained by mixing (1) an EPDM, (2) a crystalline polyethylene resin, (3) a block copolymer comprising a crystalline ethylene polymer block and a block with which the EPDM is more compatible than the crystalline polyethylene resin, and an antioxidant in a given proportion and melt-kneading the mixtur e with a pressure kneader. The foam is obtained by adding both 1 part by weigh t of a wetting agent and a foaming agent to 100 parts by weight of the thermoplastic elastomer composition, mixing them with stirring, and then extrusion-foaming the resultant mixture.
