Abstract
With the development of new energy vehicles, there is a growing demand for automotive interior materials that meet higher standards. In this case, thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), being a completely recyclable environment-friendly polymer material, possesses advantages such as plasticizers and solvents free, excellent mechanical properties, less volatile organic compounds (VOC) release and low processing cost compared with polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyurethane (PU), and thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) skins, become a desirable choice for automotive injection molding automotive skin. Hence, this work investigates the influence of hydrogenated styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer (SEBS) molecular weight, chemical structure, and polypropylene (PP) doping amount on thermodynamic, crystallinity, rheological, and mechanical properties of TPE, which provides a scientific basis for guiding the material selection of TPE injection molding skin.
