Understanding TPEs
Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs) are a class of polymers that behave like thermoset rubber but are melt processable via thermoplastic processing methods. Unlike thermoset rubber, however, they can be easily reprocessed and remolded. The ability to process these materials with thermoplastic methods allows for design and fabrication freedom that thermoset rubber does not offer.
All TPEs are composed of crystalline and amorphous domains, either as a blend or as a block co-polymer. the combination of crystalline and amorphous domains are what give TPEs their thermoplastic and elastomeric properties.
