Textile Geometrical Reinforcements for Structural Composites

Advances in Thermoplastic Elastomers: Challenges and Opportunities brings together the state-of-the-art in thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), covering innovative materials, synthesis techniques, processing methods, and sustainability. The book begins by outlining thermoplastic elastomers, rubber elasticity, and thermoplastic vulcanizates, and then reviews the state of the art, from research and published literature, to commercialization and patents. Subsequent chapters offer methodical coverage of different categories of advanced thermoplastic elastomer materials, including polyolefin-based TPEs and high performance TPEs. The final chapters in the book examine options for sustainability, including bio-based, bio-resourced, and biodegradable TPEs, as well as circular economy and recycling of TPEs. Finally, the outlook for future research and future market trends are reviewed. This is a valuable book for researchers and advanced students working with elastomers, and across polymer science and engineering, materials chemistry, and materials engineering. In an industrial setting, this is an essential resource for R&D professionals, scientists, and engineers looking to utilize thermoplastic elastomers in a range of advanced applications.
