This article reports the synthesis and characterization of four arm star-shaped poly(styrene-b-[(butadiene)1-x-(ethylene-co-butylene)x]-b-styrene) (SBEBS) copolymers. A series of SBEBS copolymers with different compositions of the elastomeric block were produced by hydrogenating a given poly(styrene...
