Thermoplastic elastomers are also known as thermoplastic rubbers. These elastomers are a class of copolymers or a mix of polymers. The materials used in the mixture, such as rubber and plastic, have both thermoplastic and elastomeric properties. Thermoplastics are relatively easy to use in manufacturing. Thermoplastic elastomers show the advantages of both rubbery materials and plastic materials. Thermoplastic elastomers offer various advantages such as it has the ability to stretch to moderate elongations and return to its near original shape creating a longer life. The major difference between thermoset elastomers and thermoplastic elastomers is the type of cross-linking bond in their structures. The cross-linking is a critical structural factor which imparts high elastic properties in the thermoplastic elastomers.
