Summary:

Regarded by many as Europe's premier international conference for the thermoplastic elastomer industry, this conference was an ideal opportunity to hear about the latest developments from a range of exciting speakers from leading TPE producers to academics. These proceeding will interest material suppliers, processors and manufacturers of finished and semi-finished products/components as well as manufacturers considering TPEs as a replacement for vulcanised rubber. Indeed, anyone with an interest in TPEs wishing to gain a better understanding of the subject. These proceedings include significa
