Thermoplastic elastomers are an important component of elastomers. Common types of thermoplastic elastomers include styrene based thermoplastic elastomers, polyurethane based thermoplastic elastomers, polyolefin based thermoplastic elastomers, and polyamide based thermoplastic elastomers.

Elastomers can be divided into thermosetting elastomers and thermoplastic elastomers according to whether they can be plasticized.

Matters needing attention in the design of toughening formula: 1.The compatibility between elastomer and resin should be good. 2. Compatibilizer 3. Synergistic effect of elastomer 4. Other factors to be considered 5. Rigidity compensation
