Thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU), yomwe imagwiritsa ntchito bwino kwambiri komanso imagwiritsidwa ntchito kwambiri, yakhala imodzi mwazinthu zofunikira kwambiri za thermoplastic elastomer, zomwe mamolekyulu ake amakhala ofanana kwambiri osalumikiza mankhwala.
Pali maulalo ambiri opangidwa ndimalumikizidwe a haidrojeni pakati pama mzere unyolo wambiri wa polyurethane, womwe umalimbitsa ma morpholoji awo, potero umapereka zinthu zambiri zabwino, monga modulus, mphamvu yayikulu, kukana kwabwino kwambiri, kukana mankhwala, kukana kwa hydrolysis, kukwera otsika kutentha kukana ndi nkhungu kukana. Izi ndizabwino kwambiri zomwe zimapangitsa kuti thermoplastic polyurethane igwiritsidwe ntchito m'malo ambiri monga nsapato, chingwe, zovala, galimoto, mankhwala ndi thanzi, chitoliro, kanema ndi pepala.
