Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) Market Growth Continues
into industries including medical, electronics, sporting goods, consumer products, and automotive. The polymers' softness and suppleness, in particular, add consumer appeal to products made with TPEs. Thermoplastic elastomers are low-modulus, flexible materials. Their building-block polymers vary and can

Lasers shine for thermoplastic welding
not produce flow-induced molecular orientation, it is theoretically capable of weld joints that are nearly as strong as the parent material. There are four ways to introduce laser light into a thermoplastic assembly: contour, mask, simultaneous, and quasi-simultaneous. Contour welding trains a single point
