Development of Thermoplastic elastomer in Automobile application: high heat resistant and low oilswel

Abstract

The main objective of review is to develop thermoplastic elastomer for the automobile application. Automobile sector plays a
major part in consumptions of rubber in world. There are many application of rubber in automobile, and there are many critical
application of rubber in this sector. In this era of technology there is some very sensitive and critical application of rubber such
as high heat resistant and high strength. There is application in oil also; in that case there should be low oil swell. Now day’s
cars and vehicles are meant to be light for the more fuel economy. Weight of rubber part is also important. For that thermoplastic
elastomer have low specific gravity than that of conventional rubber, so aim of thesis is to fulfill the requirement of automobile
sector with TPE having high heat resistant and low oil swell. And thermoplastic elastomer have reprocessebility same as plastics
. and thermoplastic elastomer have high production rate and good processing characteristics . there is also a major advantage
of using plastic processing machinery . I will work on research based on thermoplastic elastomer having high heat resistant and
low oil swell. I will consider two basic thermoplastic blends and compare it with each other properties. From that I will suggest
best option for automobile application in TPE . which will improve quality and service life of the product.
