Block copolymer compositions, comprising for a major part of linear triblock copolymers, comprising two terminal predominantly poly(monovinylaromatic) blocks having a real molecular weight in the range of from 5,000 to 25,000 and one predominantly poly(boutadiene) midblock, said triblock copolymer having a monovinylaromafic content in the range of from 10 to 55 wt %, an apparent total molecular weight in the range of from 15,000 to 300,000, and an amount of from 0 to 40 wt % of a diblock copolymer relative to the total block copolymer composition weight, containing a predominantly poly(monovinylaromatic) block and a predominantly poly(boutadiene) block similar to those of the triblock copolymer component; said block copolymer composition having a free poly(vinylaromatic) content of at most 7 wt %, and shaped articles derived from said block copolymer composition.
