Thermal exploration of thermoplastic rubber (TPR) and its composites has been playing a vital role in polymer industries during the past few decades. TPR is a compound which shows a thermoplastic character over its melting temperature and has elastomeric conduct within its design temperature range without cross-linking during fabrication. PTFE particles have a high temperature application and discover the best filler particle in the composite. Samples of 100% TPR and 10% PTFE by weight, 20% PTFE by weight mixed specimens with TPR were prepared by utilizing Injection molding strategies. Test results demonstrate PTFE filler included composites displaying high thermal conductivities.
