ABSTRACT
In the last two decades, thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs) and other thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs) have significantly
increased their usage in the rubber industry. New concerns regarding variability in processing characteristics and product performance have emerged and new methods to effectively and quickly predict these differences among different lots or different grades of TPEs have been developed using the Advanced Polymer Analyzer with parallel plate dies. Also this paper explores the advantages of different sample preparation techniques.
KEYWORDS
