A subset of samples was prepared utilizing a 2 � 600 (5.08 � 15.24 cm) mold, 0.12500 (3.175 mm) thickness containing light stipple texture (T-2102) on the A-side, and smooth surface on the B-side (Industrial Mold and Machine, Twinsburg, Ohio). TPE samples were prepared by injection molding of 5 � 600 (12.7 � 15.24 cm) plaques, 0.12500 (3.175 mm) thickness using a Milacron™ Roboshot™ S2000i (Milacron, Batavia, Ohio) with a polished mold surface. Physical and mechanical property testing was also performed on extruded pellets and/or specimens prepared from injection molded plaques.
