Thermoplastic Elastomers (3rd Edition)

Is a comprehensive and authoritative reference on one of the fastest-growing material families in modern polymer science. Combining the ease of thermoplastic processing with the performance characteristics of vulcanized elastomers, thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) continue to expand across industries due to their versatility, durability, and design flexibility.

This updated third edition reflects the major advances achieved since the previous release—including new TPE products, innovative processing techniques, expanded property data, and emerging industrial applications. It serves as an indispensable guide for polymer chemists, materials scientists, product developers, converters, and engineers working with elastomeric materials.

Covering all scientific and technical aspects of TPEs, the book provides essential insights into structure–property relationships, processing behavior, performance optimization, and the selection of suitable materials for end-use applications in automotive, medical devices, consumer goods, adhesives, footwear, wire & cable, and industrial components.

Ideal for:
• Polymer chemists & materials engineers
• TPE product developers & converters
• Automotive and industrial designers
• Researchers working in elastomers, plastics, and advanced materials
