Abstract :

The thermoplastic elastomer having the hard segment and the soft segment can be remolded by heating. The thermoplastic elastomer is a polymer having both the thermoplastic and elastic properties as a rubber-like polymer. Recently, it has been used in industrial fields for many purposes such as packaging containers, automobile interior materials and elastic fibers, and the demand thereof is greatly increased because of easy recycling and processing. In this study, the Thermoplastic Polyetherester Elastomer (TPEE) which can improve the environment friendliness by incorporating isosorbide derivative derived from biomass in the soft segment and control the melting point easily while maintaining the elastic and physical properties of the thermoplastic elastomer was synthesized and characterized. The crystallinity, thermal stability and melting temperature of TPEE containing ISB derivatives were observed by DSC, TGA and POM.
