the SEBS elastomer is selected from the group consisting of the pelargonified SEBS YH-503T.
The POE elastomer is at least one selected from the group consisting of POE7447 and DF 610.
The reason why the triple well chemical DF610 was chosen is: the paint has excellent performances of aging resistance, ozone resistance, chemical medium resistance and the like.

The lubricating oil is selected from No. 10 white mineral oil (white mineral oil No. 10); the lubricating oil has high compatibility with the SEBS elastomer, the POE elastomer and the polyolefin, and the texture uniformity of the TPE material is finally improved.
The lubricant is selected from AC-6A available from Hall Winnie. The lubricant can reduce the friction force between the TPE material and a preparation instrument, can improve the compatibility among various preparation raw materials of the TPE material, and finally improves the appearance performance of the obtained TPE material; because the texture is uniform and the surface has no cracks, the mechanical property of the TPE material is finally improved.
The antioxidant is selected from a mixture of antioxidant 1010 and antioxidant 168. The antioxidant can optimize the aging resistance of the obtained TPE material, prolong the service life of the TPE material and improve the appearance performance of the extruded surface of the TPE material.
The dispersant is KY-220 (also called EBS 220) of Dongguan Xeno. The dispersant is a special dispersant for the EBS elastomer, and can effectively reduce the operation difficulty in the preparation process of the TPE material.

Sampling rules are as follows: sampling at the position where a proper test sample block can be obtained, wherein the number of the samples is at least 2, and averaging the test results. And (3) testing conditions: an EKO flat plate mutual heating method is adopted, the average temperature is 22.5 ℃, the cold plate is set to be 10 ℃, and the hot plate is set to be 35 ℃; a standard sample block of 200mm multiplied by 25mm is tested in a constant temperature and humidity room (the temperature is 25 +/-2 ℃, and the humidity is 50 +/-10%);

The test results are shown in table 2.
TABLE 2 Performance results of TPE materials obtained in examples 1-5 and comparative examples 1-2
In table 2, "-" indicates that no test was performed, specifically because the parameters of the preparation method were adjusted in comparative examples 1 to 2, the obtained TPE material had no cell structure, or the cell structure was irregular and uneven, and thus a reasonable cell aspect ratio could not be counted.
From the results in table 2, it can be seen that the TPE material obtained by combining the preparation raw materials and the preparation method provided by the present invention has lower thermal conductivity, higher compression recovery, lower density, lower hardness and suitable cell aspect ratio. Therefore, when the TPE material is applied to the door seal of the refrigerator, the service life of the door seal is long due to high compression recovery rate; because the hardness is lower, the obtained door seal has higher fit degree with other parts of the refrigerator, and further reduces the energy consumption of the refrigerator; because the density is lower, the density of the foam holes is higher, and the thermal conductivity is lower, so that the cold insulation effect of the refrigerator can be improved, and the energy consumption of the refrigerator can be reduced; the proper cell orientation and length-diameter ratio equivalently improve the consistency of the obtained TPE material, and further improve the processability and the appearance performance of the obtained TPE material, so that the TPE material is suitable for manufacturing refrigerator door seals in various shapes.
Compared with the examples 1-2, if the pressure in the cavity of the single-screw machine is increased, the thermal conductivity, the density and the hardness of the obtained TPE material can be reduced; but the compression recovery rate is reduced to some extent. The reason is that the pressure in the cavity of the single-screw extruder is increased, which is equivalent to that in the preparation process of the TPE material, the proportion of gas in the mixture in the single-screw extruder is increased, so that the density of the cellular structure of the obtained TPE material is increased, and the length-diameter ratio of the cells is increased; meanwhile, the cell structure is increased, and the structural stability is reduced, so that the compression recovery rate is slightly reduced.
Comparing example 1 with example 3, it is understood that when the amounts of the SEBS elastomer and the POE elastomer are reduced, the compression recovery rate is reduced to some extent because the compression recovery rate is related to the amount of the elastomer used in the raw material for preparation; meanwhile, the composition of the use amounts of the preparation raw materials determines the mixing uniformity of the preparation raw materials in the granulation process and also determines the uniformity of the foam pores in the foaming process, and compared with example 1, the proportion of the preparation raw materials in example 3 can reduce the hardness and the heat conductivity of the obtained TPE material to a certain extent, and simultaneously reduce the compression recovery rate. Further, if the cross-sectional area of the convergent section is reduced, the orientation of the convergent section on the TPE material is improved, thereby increasing the aspect ratio of cells in the obtained TPE material.
It can be seen from comparing example 1 with example 4 that increasing the amounts of SEBS elastomer and POE elastomer in the raw materials for preparing TPE material resulted in substantially opposite trend to that of example 3, which further proves the effect of the proportioning of the raw materials for preparing TPE material mentioned in example 3. Meanwhile, the decrease of the density and the decrease of the thermal conductivity in the example 4 are also related to the increase of the pressure in the cavity of the single-screw extruder, that is, the density of the cell structure in the obtained TPE material is increased. Further, the aspect ratio of the bore is a result of the combined effects of the pressure in the chamber and the ratio of the cross-sectional areas of the converging and diverging sections. Thus, in example 4, although the ratio of the cross-sectional areas of the divergent section and the convergent section is reduced, the pressure in the cavity is greatly increased, and the aspect ratio of the cell structure in the final TPE material is still higher than that in example 1.
As can be seen from comparison between example 1 and example 5, if the ratio of the lubricant oil is increased, the lubricant oil also acts as a lubricant to some extent, and obtains a mechanical effect and an appearance effect equivalent to those of example 1. But after the proportion of the lubricating oil is greatly increased, the lubricating oil occupies a part of the cell structure, so that the thermal conductivity and the density of the obtained TPE material are increased to a certain extent. Meanwhile, the embodiment 5 simultaneously improves the cavity pressure and the sectional area ratio of the divergent section to the convergent section in the preparation process, so that the length-diameter ratio of the cell structure of the obtained TPE material is obviously improved.
As can be seen from comparison between example 1 and comparative examples 1 and 2, if the pressure in the cavity is 0MPa, it means that effective foaming is not achieved, and therefore the obtained TPE material has no cell structure, the corresponding density and thermal conductivity are significantly improved, and the compression recovery rate is significantly reduced.
Comparing comparative examples 1-2, it can be seen that the ratio of the cross-sectional areas of the converging section and the diverging section must be matched with the pressure in the chamber to function. In conclusion, the TPE material with low density, excellent mechanical property and good heat insulation performance is obtained by matching the preparation raw materials and the preparation method. Due to the excellent performance, the material is hopeful to be used for preparing door seals, and the refrigeration efficiency of refrigeration equipment is obviously improved.
