Abstract
Abstract Methods for processing curable thermoplastic elastomers and particularly to flexible, shaped articles made therefrom which have improved high strength, radiation and temperature resistance and electrical characteristics useful as fluid transmission tubing and/or as electrical insulation. Such articles are made from uncured, thermoplastic elastomer materials - in the form of selectively hard, radiation, sensitive, flowable solids - which are thermoplastically molded to provide an essentially uncured, dimensionally stable, intermediate shaped article. Such intermediate articles are radiation-cured to provide finished cross-linked articles having such characteristics.
