Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs)
Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) constitute a commercially relevant and fundamentally interesting class of polymeric materials. In general, they are two-phase materials that (i) have the combined properties of glassy or semi-crystalline thermoplastics and soft elastomers and (ii) enable rubber materials to be processed as thermoplastics. They may be single macromolecules in [...]
