MULTI-COMPONENT THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMERS
The structure of thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) and the microstructure of the polymers included in it are analyzed. Multi-component TPEs show the possibility of usage the microstructure features to create polymer composites with high thermal stability according to thermogravimetry. The high mechanical properties of TPE based on LDPE/CSM are due to homolytic decomposition of sulfonylchloride groups of CSM under reaction mixing conditions.
