Video 13: Thermoplastic Elastomers Today, we are going to talk about thermoplastic elastomer. 热塑性弹性体。 译文： 今天，让我们来聊一聊热塑性弹性体 In the previous class, we have already learned the molecular structures and properties of natural rubbers and synthetic rubbers. The main chemical composition of natural rubbers is polyisoprene. But there are still some problems of natural rubbers. 译文： 在前面的课程里，我们已经学习了天然橡胶和合成橡胶的分子结构和性能。天然橡胶的主要 化学成份是聚异戊二烯。然而，天然橡胶依然存在着一些问题。 Vulcanization is an effective method to improve the mechanical property of natural rubbers. And we have already understood how vulcanization process improve the mechanical property of natural rubbers. Crosslinked chain structure is the key point. Therefore, most of conventional rubbers are thermosetting elastomers. 译文： 硫化可以有效的提高天然橡胶的机械性能。我们也已经解了硫化是如何提高天然橡胶机械性 能的。交联的链结构是关键。因此，大部分的传统橡胶材料都是热固性弹性体。 However, with the rapid increasing amount of elastomer materials, we have to face to another important environmental problem. It comes from the application of conventional thermosetting elastomers. It is the recovery of them. Due to the crosslinked chain structure, the conventional thermosetting elastomers cannot be re-formed by heating same as thermoplastic materials. 译文： 然而，随着弹性体材料使用的迅速增长，我们不得不面对另外一个非常重要的环境问题。这 是由于传统热固性弹性材料的使用所带来的，就是它们的回收。由于交联的链结构，传统的 热固性弹性体材料不能像热塑性材料一样，通过加热的方式再成型。 If elastomer materials can be re-formed by heating, the service life of elastomer materials will be noticeably improved. In this case, it is available to depress the problem on environment due to the waste elastomers. 译文： 如果弹性体材料能够加热再成型，材料的使用寿命就会被显著提高。在这种情况下，就可以 抑制废旧的弹性体材料所带来的环境问题。 It is no doubt that the crosslinked chain structure is necessary to support the mechanical properties of elastomers. However, for the conventional thermosetting elastomers with chemical crosslink, it is impossible or quite diffi
