This paper investigated the applicability of polyester yarn coating using ther- moplastic polyester elastomer (TPEE) to replace polyvinyl chloride (PVC) coated yarn for blinds fabric. For this purpose, suitable TPEE for yarn coating was selected by measuring thermal and rheological properties and the yarn coating process conditions were investigated by changing variables such as extrusion temperature, die and nipple dimensions, take-up speed, and core yarn denier. TPEE coated yarns with a diameter of 0.3 and 0.4 mm were prepared, respectively. Tensile properties and cross-section uniformity revealed by a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of the TPEE coated yarn were analyzed. Among several candidates, TPEE having a melt index of 35 and melting temperature of 153℃ was the most suitable for replacing PVC, and the opti- mum coating conditions for the TPEE coating yarn were a head temperature of 170℃ and core yarn denier of 420 denier. The selected TPEE coated yarns have enough ten- sile strength and uniformity to replace present PVC coated yarns, certified by SEM photograph.

The condition of covering process using thermoplastic polyetherester elastomeric fibers(TPEE) was established. Two types of core yarn(TPEE, Spandex) and one type of effect yarn(PET) were used as materials to confirm the change in physical properties of covering yarn under various covering conditions. In addition, the effects of the treatment temperature on the elongation at break of covering yarn after heat treatment was analyzed. Through this analysis, it was confirmed that the elastic recovery of TPEE which is used as the core yarn was increased with the draw ratio, but decreases when it exceeds 1:2.5. And the elongation at break of the covering yarn could be increased by increasing the twist per meter of it. Additionally, it was confirmed that the elastic recovery of TPEE which is used as a core yarn, could be increased by applying heat treatment.

E-TPE (Engineering Thermoplastic Polyether Ester) was Ester Elastomer with functional groups as recycling and fast processability. In addition, if the car's lightweight enough to highlight eco-friendly materials that help to improve fuel economy has become. Have all the attributes of the rubber and engineering plastics E-TPE the available temperature area is spacious, heat resistance and oil resistance is excellent but getting attention as a new material in the field of auto parts in the field of electrical and electronic domestic depends entirely on imports by the lack of core technology and has been research and development is urgently needed. In this study, the hard segments, polyester (TPEE) as the base soft elastomers of the segments Ethylen-prophylene-Copolymer and CSM (Choloro sulphonated polyethylene Rubber), VAMAC (Ethylene Acrylic Rubber), NBR (Acrylonitrin Butadiene Rubber), 1, 3-Phenylene-bisoxazoline is dealing with Dynamic Vulcanized by content and added rubber properties, thermal variation observed. As a result, the properties of the dynamic vulcanization with NBR compared to other rubber heat resistance and oil resistance is on the increase.

In this study, high-penetration asphalt with low greenhouse gas emissions was used in the asphalt mixing process to reduce the carbon emissions during the reaction due to its capacity to be produced even at low temperatures. In effect, cationic, anionic, and non-ionic dispersants were added and mixed in different feeding ratios, seeking an effective dispersion of the modifiers (SIS, PS, TPEE, and SEBS) into the high-penetration asphalt matrix and forming an asphalt binder with a melting point of 120 ℃. The compatibility of the modifiers and the high-penetration asphalt was examined using SEM and DSC techniques, and the role of NDP-1 as a dispersant was carefully investigated with respect to dissolution time. The analyses showed that: (1) the dispersibility of the asphalt binder is good when the non-ionic dispersant is used; (2) as the concentration of the non-ionic dispersant increases, the dissolution time decreases and the domain size contracts; (3) the ND70-PS has the shortest dissolution time, the lowest agglomeration rate, and a single Tg value.

Dimethyl terephthalate (DMT). 1.4-butanediol (1.4-BD) and poly (tetramethylene ether) glycol (PTMG) in the molecular weight of 2000 (g/mol) were used to synthesize poly(ether-b-ester) thermoplastic elastomers (TPEEs). The final copolymers were annealed to improve thermal stability at elevated temperatures and mechanical properties. This study showed that as the proportion of soft segment increases melting temperature and degree of crystallinity of TPEEs decrease constantly. In case of mechanical properties like flexural strength and flexural elastic modulus. $35-PTMG^{2000}$ indicates the highest values due to more efficient physical interlock.
