Thermoplastic Elastomers
This chapter focuses on thermoplastic elastomers. Chemical structures with manufacturers and trade names along with typical end uses of the plastics are included besides extensive graphical physical, mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties as a function of temperature. Plastics included in this section are thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers, thermoplastic copolyester elastomers, olefinic thermoplastic elastomers, and polyether block amide.
