In this manner, what is elastomer material?

An elastomer is a polymer with viscoelasticity (i.e., both viscosity and elasticity) and has very weak intermolecular forces, generally low Young's modulus and high failure strain compared with other materials. IUPAC defines the term "elastomer" by "Polymer that displays rubber-like elasticity."

Beside above, what kind of material is TPE? Thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), sometimes referred to as thermoplastic rubbers, are a class of copolymers or a physical mix of polymers (usually a plastic and a rubber) that consist of materials with both thermoplastic and elastomeric properties.

Keeping this in view, what are elastomers examples?

Elastomers are loosely cross-linked polymers. Examples of elastomers include natural rubbers, styrene-butadiene block copolymers, polyisoprene, polybutadiene, ethylene propylene rubber, ethylene propylene diene rubber, silicone elastomers, fluoroelastomers, polyurethane elastomers, and nitrile rubbers.

Is thermoplastic elastomer biodegradable?

Biodegradable thermoplastic elastomers can be compounded with other bioplastics to achieve any number of desired performance properties. For example, biodegradable thermoplastic elastomers are a good impact modifier for polylactic acid (PLA), a common bio-based and biodegradable polyester.
