Thermoplastic elastomers based on graft copolymers

Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) clinch a considerable research interest due to their outstanding properties, good processing and reprocessing characteristics. They may be prepared by various ways. Grafting is one such way which enables to tailor their properties. Conventional TPEs find many applications in our daily lives. However, graft copolymer–based TPEs also have the potential to be used for such applications. In this book chapter, we focus on the preparation of graft copolymer–based thermoplastic elastomers, their properties, and applications.
