Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to crosslinked TPE or TPV compositions, flexible pipes containing crosslinked TPE or TPV compositions, and methods for forming crosslinked elastomer polymer compositions and flexible pipes. In an embodiment, a flexible pipe includes a plurality of layers, where at least one layer includes a composition including: at least one polar elastomer, and a polymer having a crystallinity of about 20% or greater. In an embodiment, a pipe includes an inner sheath, an outer sheath, a first armor layer, and a second armor layer, where at least one of the inner sheath and the outer sheath comprises a crosslinked TPE or TPV composition that is the reaction product of an elastomer having a polarity of about 90 or less, a polymer having a crystallinity of about 20% or greater, and a crosslinking agent.
