Preface

Nowadays it is difficult to imagine a life without thermoplastic elastomers. The uses of thermoplastic elastomers have increased because of its specific properties, such as low cost, light weight, high strength, non-biodegradability, durability, non-corrosive nature, process ability and high energy effectiveness. Hence, these thermoplastics elastomers can be used for various applications, which range from household articles to the aeronautic sector. This book is comprised of nineteen chapters, written by specialized scientists dealing with physical and/or chemical modifications of thermoplastic elastomers and thermoplastic starch. Such studies will provide a great benefit to the specialists in food, electric, telecommunication devices, and plastic industries.

#### **The book "Thermoplastic Elastomers" is comprised of two sections.**
