Overview
This book surveys the research and development status of thermoplastic elastomer systems from early discoveries up to the most recent academic research. Chapters are in chronological order to reflect historical developments, and cover the evolution of the field from thermoplastic polyurethane and styrenic thermoplastic elastomers through order-disorder transition in block polymers and current applications. This third edition features updated material on new products, processing techniques, properties, and applications that have developed since the publication of the second edition. Holden is retired from the field of thermoplastic elastomer research. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, ORSynopsis

A newly revised edition which examines recent trends in thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) research, chemistry, polymer structure, morphology, rheology, physical properties, typical applications, and future trends. The volume's 22 sections, written by both technical experts and academic researchers in the field, cover topics including thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers; anionic triblock copolymers; thermoplastic elastomers based on halogen-containing polyolefins, dynamically vulcanized elastomer-thermoplastic blends, and polyamides; theories and experiments in block copolymer thermodynamics; macromonomers as precursors for TPEs; bacteria-produced TPEs; diacetylene containing segmented polyurethanes; and applications of TPEs.
