Thermoplastic elastomers are one of the fastest growing material groups. They can be processed like thermoplastics but their properties are close to those of vulcanized elastomers. New products, new processing techniques, new properties, and new applications have developed since the 2nd edition of this publication. All of these recent developments are reflected in the new edition of this well-established standard work. We are pleased to offer this unique and comprehensive, up-to-date guide for all scientific and technical aspects of thermoplastic elastomers. This will indeed serve as an indispensable resource for everyone working in this field.
