Structures having a silicone elastomer component in juxtaposition with a thermoplastic elastomer

Structures are provided having a silicone elastomer component in juxtaposition with a thermoplastic elastomer produced by the copolymerization of one or more vinyl chloride or vinyl chloride type monomers with one or more acrylate monomers wherein the acrylate has the formula wherein R is an aromatic, an aliphatic (especially an alkyl), an alkoxy, or combinations thereof, having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms, or a halogen derivative thereof, desirably is methyl, and preferably is hydrogen. R is an aliphatic group, especially an alkyl, an aromatic, an alkyl hydroxyl, or combinations thereof, having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms, desirably from 2 to 10 carbon atoms, and preferably from 2 to 8 carbon atoms, or a halogen derivative thereof; or R is a hydrocarbyl ether such as alkoxyalkyl, a phenoxyaryl, or a phenoxyalkyl, or combinations thereof having from 2 to 1,000 carbon atoms, desirably from 2 to 18 carbon atoms, and preferably from 2 to 8 carbon atoms, or a substituted halogen, oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur derivative thereof. The elastomer does not cause the discoloration of the silicone rubber.
