A method for controlling a dispersion size of an elastomer in a
thermoplastic elastomer composition having improved durability and
impermeability obtained by melt-mixing (A) a halogenated isobutylene
elastomer, (B) polyamide and (C) a dispersion aid, and dynamically
vulcanizing the resultant blend to form the dynamically vulcanized
polymer blend, wherein the halogenated isobutylene elastomer is dispersed
in the polyamide matrix at a volume-average dispersion diameter of less
than 2.0 .mu.m.
