The energetics and micromechanisms of fracture in model dynamically vulcanized thermoplastic elastomers have been studied. Their fracture toughness values have been quantified under mode 1 loading conditions using both the critical J-integral approach and an essential work-of-fracture method. Additi

The fracture behavior of a crumb rubber-filled elastomer was observed in optical micrographs. It was found that the failure started from the surface of the unfilled samples. The failure, however, started from a cavity around a crumb in the crumb-filled samples. This paper suggests that the failure m
## Abstract Polyacetal (POM) toughening with thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) elastomer was investigated in terms of Theological, mechanical, and morphological properties. Polyacetal can be effectively toughened by the blending with TPU elastomer and the improvement on toughness is found most signi
