General description
Polyisobutylene (PIB) is an elastomer and plasticizer.[1]It exhibits good gas permeability, thermal, oxidative and chemical stability. Films of PIB can be synthesized by RF sputtering,[2] whereas branched PIB can be synthesized from 4-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)styrene -co-styrene (HMESt-co-St) as inimer.[3]
Application
PIB may be used to prepare polymers blends with isotactic polypropylene (iPP).[3]

This paper is the first report of electrospinning neat polyisobutylene-based thermoplastic elastomers. Two generations of these materials are investigated: a linear poly(styrene-b-isobutylene-b-styrene) (L_SIBS) triblock copolymer and a dendritic poly(isobutylene-b-p-methylstyrene) (D_IB-MS), also a candidate for biomedical applications. Cross-polarized optical microscopy shows

The surface properties and biocompatibility of a class of thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs) with applications in blood-contacting medical devices have been studied. Thin films of commercial TPUs and novel polyisobutylene (PIB)-poly(tetramethylene oxide) (PTMO) TPUs were characterized by contact angle measurements, X-ray
