Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs)
Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs) are a diverse family of rubber-like materials that can be repeatedly melt processed.
This defines TPE as a thermoplastic polymer material.

One approach is to
substitute metals with reinforced thermoplastics.
Injection Molding - Thermoplastics
Injection molding creates molded parts by injecting
heated, molten plastic materials into a mold,
which are then cooled and solidified.
This method
is used for various polymers, including long fiber
reinforced thermoplastics (LFRT or LFT).

While rigid polymers are typically used for this because of their conductive and wireless properties, Avient has found additional value in low signal loss technology within its thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) portfolio.
a) what effect do thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) formulations have on the attenuation (energy absorption) of a signal ranging from 20-45 GHz?
