We will focus in this paper on the rheological properties, at room temperature, of styrene-isoprene block copolymers, particularly Triblock [SISj-Diblock [SI] copolymer blends. We will describe the effect of the molecular parameters of the copolymers on the rheological behavior, and wiU propose, on the basis of molecular dynamics models derived from the reptation concept and the analysis of the dynamic behavior of the blend [SIS-SI], a model which allows calculation of the variation of the complex shear modulus as a function of frequency. Different types of macromolecules have been designed from calculations using this molecular model in order to improve the processing and end-user properties of the full formulations (HMPSAs).
