一, thermoplastic property elastomer （TPE） 定义

thermoplastic property elastomer （thermoplastic elastomer, 简记: TPE） is in normal temperature lower tool has add 硫橡胶 property 质（即 elastomer property 质）, in high temperature lower also can deformation polymer/macromolecule material. it can use plastics processing machine injection molding, extrusion molding, blow molding, calendering molding, T-Die流延 molding and other relatively 传统硫化橡胶 more is fast speed processing methods manufacturing formed product, has light （ density low ）, environmental protection （ can recycling, 燃烧无毒）, use lifespan long （ can relatively 传统橡胶达5~10倍 above ）, processing degree large, products cost low and other advantages. in industry in, by use. TPE has 时候也 by as thermoplastic property 橡胶（Thermoplastic Rubber, TPR）, its 定义而言, is TPE relatively 适当. TPE is elastomer, tool has add 硫橡胶 property 质, 但却不 need add 硫. in addition TPE并 tool has many 介于橡胶 and plastics in 间 特征.

二, and plastics basic property 质

TPE is meanwhile tool has 橡胶（ or elastomer ） and plastics property 质 材 material, below/following for 橡胶, plastics basic property 质做一 brief introduction (如图1-1). 包括橡胶（ or elastomer ） and plastics polymer/macromolecule material, its table/sheet property material property 质, can force -应变 features 看出. 图1-1 is various polymer/macromolecule material sheet/slice, in by tensile performance force -应变行 is. in 箭头则 table/sheet sheet/slice to tensile and 放松时, force -应变 变化. iron is elongation （应变） very small material, its force -应变 property 质如1 示, is can 恢复原状 完 full elastomer. viscous is full property 体, 如2 示, is full method 回复. polymer/macromolecule material 质则兼 tool elastomer and property property 质, is viscous elastomer 3 行 is, 但橡胶（ or elastomer ） relatively plastics more 接近于完 full elastomer. due to more plastics is viscous elastomer, need specific thermoplastic property elastomer and generally plastics difference 并不容 easy, relatively large is thermoplastic property elastomer in normal temperature lower tool has high elongation, high elastic rate, low pressure shrink deformation rate, and low temperature degree and other features. most large difference is separation structure 差异, due to TPE tool has add 硫橡胶 property 质, table/sheet 示TPE必定由橡胶 formed separation （即 soft 质段, soft segment） and plastics formed separation （即 hard 质段, hard segment） 构 formed, soft tool has elastic property, hard 质段则 in normal temperature 时发挥架桥点 generally function, can anti property deformation. temperature degree upper rise 时, hard plastics formed separation melt, as is 架桥点 function, formed is can property deformation, plastics processing molding.
