The present invention relates to curable elastomer compositions and deformable thermoplastic compositions which are reshapable subsequent to cure or solidification. (justia.com)
In particular, the present invention relates to compositions and articles of manufacture which are prepared from curable elastomeric or deformable thermoplastic matrices having distributed therein polymeric powders which have a melting point below the degradation of the matrix and which are present in shape-holding amounts to permit reshaping subsequent to elastomer cure. (justia.com)
The advantage of the compositions of the invention is that, being thermoplastic, all that is required is to extrude them, to shape them by blow moulding and to allow them to cool. (allindianpatents.com)
