Thermoplastic elastomers. (Books).Thermoplastic elastomers Thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), sometimes referred to as thermoplastic rubbers, are a class of copolymers or a physical mix of polymers (usually a plastic and a rubber) which consist of materials with both thermoplastic and elastomeric properties. . By Peter W. Dufton. 166 pages. Price, $357. Rapra Technology Ltd., U.K. (2001). This publication contains discussion of the different families of thermoplastic elastomer materials, and of the trends in material developments. The key end-use sectors are analyzed in terms of material usage and future trends. Each sector is examined, starting from reference to activity in Western Europe Western Europe The countries of western Europe, especially those that are allied with the United States and Canada in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (established 1949 and usually known as NATO). , the involvement of polymers within the sector, and how important a share of that involvement is held by TPEs. The issues which affect the choice of different materials and how these are likely to impinge im·pinge v. im·pinged, im·ping·ing, im·ping·es v.intr. 1.
