Types of Thermoplastic Elastomers

TPE materials are categorized into thermoplastic olefin (TPO), thermoplastic natural rubber (TPNR), thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV), thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), styrene block copolymer (SBC), polyether block amide (PEBA), and copolyester (COPE) - [1]. This is a study of recycling rubber powder with plastics to make rubbery plastics.

Notes on Tires

Air free tires - Bridgestone - [2]
Recycled rubber can be mixed with thermoplastics or TPEs to extend the thermoplastic by giving it more rubber properties.
Flat-free bike tires from TPE - [3] & [4]
TPU tire - [5]
TPE made from HDPE and ground tires with compatibilizer - [6]
