'''Polyether block amide''' or '''PEBA''' is a [[Elastomer|thermoplastic elastomer]] (TPE). It is also known under the tradename of PEBAX®. It is a [[ block copolymer]] obtained by [[polycondensation]] of a carboxylic acid [[polyamide]] ([[Nylon 6|PA6]], [[PA11]], [[PA12]]) with an [[alcohol]] termination polyether ([[PTMG]], [[Polyethylene glycol|PEG]]). The general chemical structure is:
