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 from the Rapra Polymer Library database.
