A dispersion has particles dispersed in a continuous aqueous dispersion
medium. The particles, preferably no more than about 2 micrometers in
size, are formed of a mixture of styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene
(S-EB-S) block copolymer having end blocks each with a weight average
molecular weight of more than about 15,000 Daltons and an oil such as a
mineral oil. The dispersion medium is a mixture of water and a surfactant.
Articles are prepared by dipping a form into the dispersion and
withdrawing the form to leave a film of the dispersion on the form. The
water is evaporated from the film, leaving a coherent extensible film on
the form.
