Most thermoplastic molecular chains can be thought of as independent, intertwined strings resembling spaghetti (see the figure above).
How to define processing
How does shrinkage affect TPEs?

Due to this unique viscosity/shear rate dependency, normal melt index testing (done at shear rates as low as 50 1/sec) will not reflect how the TPE will process at higher shear rates.
