A material which at room temperature can be stretched repeatedly to at least twice its original length and, upon immediate release of stress, will return with force to its approximate original length.

Plastics are polymers that can either be thermoplastics or thermosets, which are known for the fact that they can be molten and remolten, without change in properties, or can only be molten once respectively. Elastomers are known for their high elascitiy.
Elastomers are flexible long - chain polymers which are capable of cross-linking. Cross- linking chemically bonds polymer chains which can prevent reversion to a non-cross-linked polymer at elevated temperatures. The cross-link is the key to the elastic, or rubbery, properties of these materials. The elasticity provides resiliency in sealing applications.

TPE stands for Thermo Plastic Elastomer. It is a range of polymers (plastics) that can be processed (moulded or extruded) like a plastic when over their melt temperature, but exhibit properties of thermoset rubber. the advantage to using TPE over thermoset rubber, is that it can be easily re-moulded and re-worked whereas rubber cannot. TPE can be soft, stretchy, and flexible, or hard and rigid depending on the mixture of crystalline and amorphous polymers used.
The important components are: resins, wax, elastomer, sweetener, color, flavors, softener.
The measurement used to quantify change in a thermoset or thermoplastic elastomer material's viscosity from its uncured state as it transitions to a cured or "scorched" state.
yes

A thermoplastic elastomer.
elastomer
No. Elastomer = possesses elasticity. As with most rubbers, neoprene is an elastomer. Thermoplastic = can be melted and re-formed. Neoprene is a thermoset material, which means that it will chemically degrade instead of melting.
No
There is a huge range of elastomer products that are put to use in different industries. Like for example, in the automobile industry, elastomer products like ball joints and anti-vibration mounts are used. Annular blowout preventer packing unit, annular blowout seal kits, ram blowout spare parts, pipe wipers, wiper cutter assembly, drill pipe protector, tong and elevator straps and aero union tubes are some of the Elastomer productsused in the oil drilling industry.

TR also known as thermoplastic elastomer is a material similar in use like rubber but different in its making. it is used to make the soles of shoes and other such. you can check out online by typing 'thermoplastic elastomer" TR in address bar.

TSOP is a family of thermoplastics made in its largest part of polypropylene (toyota itself refers to the TSOP as a "non conventional high-performance polypropylene"), plus three other resins compounds. The second main compound is an elastomer (synthetic butadiene rubber). The elastomer is used as a continuous phase and the PP resin is introduced into the elastomer as micro dispersed crystals. There are six kinds of TSOP, used in differents parts of the car and differents years. Their use begins with the Crown series in October 1991. TSOP2 have high flowability, and trim and garnishes are made of it. TSOP3 have high-rigidity, high-impact-resistance, and is primarily employed in instruments panels. TSOP5 and TSOP6 are a mix of 2 and 3 and are widely used in exterior parts such as bumpers.
An elastomer, which is also called "a rubber" but most elastomers contain no rubber.
