This review article introduces various aspects of dynamic vulcanization as applied to thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs). The classification of polymer blends and TPEs, the development of thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs), and the application of different types of crosslinking systems with special emphasis on peroxides/co-agents, and phenolic resins as crosslinking agents for polypropylene / ethylene propylene diene rubber (PP/EPDM) blends are primarily reviewed. The morphology and rheology of these TPVs are also touched upon.
