This defines TPE as a thermoplastic polymer material. This makes LSR a thermoset polymer material.   In Handbook of Polymer Applications in Medicine and Medical Devices,¹ Laurence W.

ESC is defined as the premature embrittlement and crack propagation of a polymer part. Ideally, all polymer contacting edges should be round or radiused. Sharp edges on an insert can create sharp edges on the polymer that result in a stress riser.
