1、Designation: D5538 13Standard Practice forThermoplastic ElastomersTerminology and Abbreviations1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5538; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A

2、 number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONDuring the past two decades the use of special rubber-like polymers, designated as thermoplasticelastomers, has increased both in volu

3、me and in commercial importance. The number of uniquepolymers classified as thermoplastic elastomers that have been brought to commercial acceptance hasalso grown. (As explained below, these types of rubber-like polymers cannot be accommodated by thesystematic nomenclature approach of the existing P

4、ractice D1418.)Practice D1418 was initially published in 1956 with a systematic nomenclature procedure based onthe chemical structure of the polymer.An attempt to incorporate the new thermoplastic elastomers intothe nomenclature scheme of Practice D1418 produces two serious problems: (1) the abbrevi

5、ations andacronyms are not the same as the well established abbreviations and acronyms used for the newthermoplastic elastomers by the various producers of these polymers, and (2) the attempt generates avery cumbersome terminology system. Therefore it is necessary to depart from the systematicapproa

6、ch of Practice D1418.To avoid the confusion of attempting to revise Practice D1418 and have conflicting nomenclatureand abbreviation designation procedures in the same practice, this new practice devoted exclusivelyto thermoplastic elastomers is being published.1. Scope1.1 This practice covers a uni

7、form, consensus nomenclatureapproach for thermoplastic elastomers. This compilation isintended to accommodate and supplement any existing tradenames and trademarks.1.2 No attempt is made to develop an exclusively systematicprocess for nomenclature and abbreviations.1.3 In technical papers and other

8、technical or trade literaturethe full name of the thermoplastic elastomer should be given atits first appearance in the document along with its abbreviationin parentheses. In all subsequent references to the thermoplas-tic elastomer, the abbreviation may be given.2. Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Stan
