A block copolymer contains at least a block (P1) and a block (P2). The block (P1) is obtained or obtainable by reaction of a triblock copolymer having the structure A-B-A', where block B is selected from polyethers or polyesters and blocks A and A′ are identical or different, and at least one polymer (PM) selected from polyesters and polyethers. The block (P2) is selected from polyamides and polyesters. A process can be used for producing the inventive block copolymer, a shaped article can be made containing the inventive block copolymer, and the inventive block copolymer can be used for producing a shaped article.

Block copolymers

A process for producing a molded article involves providing a thin-walled, gas-permeable shell; filling the shell with a foamed pelletized material composed of a polymer; and welding the foamed pelletized material to obtain the molded article. Molded articles are obtainable or obtained by such a process, and can be used as a footwear sole, part of a footwear sole, a mattress, a seat cushion, an underlay, a grip, a protective film, a component in automobile interiors and exteriors, a gymnastics mat, a body protector, a trim element in automobile construction, a sound insulator, a vibration damper, a cushion, a bicycle saddle, a toy, a tire or part of a tire, a covering for a track and field surface, a covering for a sports hall or a pathway, a damping layer or a damping core in a sandwich element, or a packaging.
