ABSTRACT
A thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) is a material with the functional performance of a thermoset rubber but the processibility of a conventional thermoplastic. Elastomeric alloys (EAs) are a generic class of TPEs composed of two or more polymer systems between which a synergistic interaction has arisen, giving rise to properties significantly better than those expected from a single blend of these polymer systems. EAs are medium performance, moderate cost TPEs.
