Description:Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) have the elastic behaviour of rubber and the processability of thermoplastics. The chemistry, properties and processing of these materials are discussed in this review. Specialist grades are being introduced for specific applications and with unique properties, such as softness or processability. The review is accompanied by around 400 abstracts the Rapra Polymer Library database. Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) have the elastic behaviour of rubber and the processability of thermoplastics. The Freedonia Group has forecast that demand will expand by 6.4 per cent per year to around 2.15 million tons in 2006. There is potential for these new, exciting materials to expand into the much larger thermoset rubber markets. This review includes comparisons between the two material types. There are three major types of TPE: block copolymers, rubber/plastic blends and dynamically vulcanised rubber/plastic alloys known as thermoplastic vulcanisates. The chemistry of these materials and how their unique properties are achieved are discussed in this review. and rubbers to combine the properties. As these materials are incompatible, separate phases are formed, each conferring different properties on the blend. There are many developments taking place in this field. Specialist grades are being introduced for specific applications and with unique properties, such as softness or processability. New types of styrene block copolymers have improved high temperature ageing, fluid resistance, elastic recovery and set. New block copolyester TPEs have better blow moulding processability, softness and high dynamic flexing fatigue performance. One of the advantages of TPEs over thermoset rubbers is that they can be processed by standard plastics processing methods. This review considers rheology, injection moulding, extrusion, blow moulding, thermoforming and other secondary processes. There are a variety of factors to consider when designing with TPEs, which are discussed here. One particular advantage is in combining components of a product as TPEs can be co-injected or used in overmoulding, reducing assembly steps. the Rapra Polymer Library database, to facilitate further reading on this subject. A subject index and a company index are included.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
