These materials can also be coextruded to yield a part with both rigid and soft components. Thermoforming: The thermoforming properties of TPV are similar to those of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) rubber and exhibit good melt strength, which provides uniform and predictable sag characteristics during heating. When producing a sheet for ...
Thermophotovoltaic (TPV) energy conversion is a direct conversion process from heat to electricity via photons.A basic thermophotovoltaic system consists of a hot object emitting thermal radiation and a photovoltaic cell similar to a solar cell but tuned to the spectrum being emitted from the hot object.
TPV may refer to: Tampereen Pallo-Veikot, Finnish football club; Temporary protection visa, document issued to refugees by Australia; Thermophotovoltaic, conversion of heat to electricity by a photovoltaic process; Thermoplastic Vulcanizate (thermoplastic elastomer), a material which both heat-moldable and elastic
Thermoplastic elastomers show advantages typical of both rubbery materials and plastic materials. The benefit of using thermoplastic elastomers is the ability to stretch to moderate elongations and return to its near original shape creating a longer life and better physical range than other materials.

Waterstops are manufactured from a variety of materials depending on the functionality and their intended use. The most common types are: Waterstops made from extruded plastics such as flexible polyvinyl chloride PVC, polyethylene (PE) or thermoplastic vulcanized rubber (TPV); formed metal such as stainless steel, copper, or carbon steel - with or without polymeric coatings; extruded ...
Flexible PVC is also used in inflatable products, such as water beds and pool toys. PVC is also a common material in vinyl action figures, especially in countries such as Japan, where the material is used extensively in so-called Sofubi figures (Soft vinyl toys [7]). As PVC bends easily and has a tendency to be bent during transit, a method to ...
[2] [3] TPU is also a popular material found in flexible outer cases of devices like mobile phones and keyboard protectors. [ 4 ] TPU is well known for its applications in wire and cable jacketing, hose and tube, in adhesive and textile coating applications, and as an impact modifier of other polymers. [ 5 ]
Thermophotonics (often abbreviated as TPX) is a concept for generating usable power from heat which shares some features of thermophotovoltaic (TPV) power generation. Thermophotonics was first publicly proposed by solar photovoltaic researcher Martin Green in 2000. However, no TPX device is known to have been demonstrated to date, apparently ...
