Yuav Ua Li Cas Thiaj Ua Tau Thermoplastic Elastomer Yas Thiab Nws Siv Hauv Kev Lag Luam Tsheb
Cov thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) yog ib tsev neeg ntawm cov ntaub ntawv polymer uas muab ob qho tseem ceeb ua ke: elasticity zoo li roj hmab tab sis yooj yim ua zoo li cov thermoplastic plastics. Tsis zoo li cov roj hmab thermoset (piv txwv li, roj hmab vulcanized), uas thaum khov lawm nyuaj rau yaj dua, TPEs tuaj yeem ua kom sov, ua duab, thiab tom qab ntawd txias dua. Qhov "reprocessability" no ua rau TPEs nyiam heev rau cov lag luam niaj hnub no, suav nrog kev lag luam tsheb, uas xav tau kev ua haujlwm zoo, zoo ib yam, thiab cov qauv tsim khoom sib xws tab sis muaj zog.
Tsab xov xwm no tham txog yuav ua li cas los ua cov thermoplastic elastomer plastics feem ntau ntawm theem kev lag luam, cov hom txheej txheem feem ntau siv, thiab lawv ntau yam kev siv hauv cov khoom siv hauv tsheb.

Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) yog dab tsi?
Raws li kev teeb tsa, TPE feem ntau yog tsim los ntawm ob theem tseem ceeb:
1. Cov ntu tawv: muab lub zog kho tshuab, tiv taus kub, thiab lub cev "taw tes."
2. Cov ntu mos: muab elasticity, yooj ywm, thiab lub peev xwm rov qab mus rau nws cov duab qub.
Thaum cua sov, cov ntu tawv yuav mos (lossis ua zoo li cov "kev sib txuas" uas tshem tau), ua rau cov khoom ntws thiab pwm tau. Thaum txias, cov ntu tawv yuav rov qab muaj zog thiab xauv rau hauv lub network elastomeric, ua rau cov khoom zoo li roj hmab.
