ResumoAbstract An overview will be given on thermoplastic vulcanisates (TPVs). Like other thermoplastic elastomers, TPVs combine the elastic and mechanical properties of thermoset cross‐linked rubbers with the melt processability of thermoplastics. Emphasis will be on general‐purpose TPVs, based on resol‐cross‐linked EPDM/PP/oil blends. The following recent scientific developments will be discussed in detail: resol cross‐linking chemistry, extruder dynamic vulcanisation, TPV morphology, oil distribution, TPV elasticity model and TPV rheology. A series of scientific questions and technological problems, which are challenging future TPV developments, will be put forward at the end.
