What Are Thermoplastic Elastomers?
Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are modern polymer materials that combine the elasticity of rubber with the processing benefits of plastic. Unlike thermoset rubbers, TPEs can be repeatedly melted and reshaped, making them more sustainable and cost-effective in production. Their internal structure features alternating soft and hard phases, allowing for efficient shaping through injection molding, extrusion, and other thermoplastic techniques. Their properties,
