Thermoplastic elastomers
 Thermoplastic elastomers are multi-
functional polymeric materials that generally
possess the processability of thermoplastics
and the elasticity of vulcanized rubber.
Intrinsic thermoplastic elastomers include
microphase separated block and segmented
copolymers containing a soft (low-Tg)
species.
Thermoplastic elastomers
 The number of possible elastomeric blend
compositions is quite large, relatively few of
them are of technological importance.

 This is largely because of the fact that most

polymers have been incompatible with one
another, at least in the thermodynamic sense.

 ΔGm = ΔHm - TΔSm ≤ 0
