Abstract
Improved thermoplastic elastomer compositions having improved processing and mechanical characteristics without requiring addition of excessive quantities of plasticizer comprise at least one thermoplastic elastomer loaded with a crystalline modifier having a relatively low melting point. The modifier can be liquid at the processing temperature, resulting in increased ease in handling of the product. An exemplary crystallizable modifier is an alkylated pentacycloundecane dimer.
