This thermoplastic elastomer is present in a substantially solid state suitable for use as a binder for a propellant, explosive, and/or gas generant of a supplemental restraint system. The thermoplastic elastomer is formed from a composition including A blocks which are crystalline at temperatures below about 75° C. and B blocks which are amorphous at temperatures above about −20° C. The A blocks are derived from oxetane derivatives and/or tetrahydrofuran derivatives. The B blocks are derived from oxetanes, tetrahydrofuran, oxiranes, and derivatives thereof. The A and B blocks are end-capped with at least one diisocyanate and linked with at least one difunctional oligomer having two functional groups which are reactive with free and unreacted isocyanate moieties of the diisocyanate.
