Physical property Both TPEs were characterized for Shore A hardness (ASTM D2240), specific gravity (ASTM D792), tensile strength (ASTM D412), elongation at break (ASTM D412) and tear strength (ASTM D624).
Adhesion 3 The adhesion between the TPE and rigid thermoplastics substrates was measured by a “90 degree peel test” which is a modified ASTM D903 method.
Rheology The viscosities of both TPE-1 and TPE-2 at different shear rates were measured using a capillary rheometer at 200oC by a method prescribed in ASTM D3835.
