There are a huge number of plastics, and their properties vary widely. Listing all of them and their chemical andphysical properties here is not possible. There are whole books filled with just some of the information asked for. Use the links below to begin to discover what a range of plastic products there are, and how their chemistry and their physical properties vary.

Ok, answer above was JEK's and now here's mine.

Of course, there are lots of chemical and physical properties of plastics.

here are some examples for it.

Ability to burn is chemical property. Ability to be folded (those thick plastics) is physical property. Ability to be ripped off (for those plastic bag kind). Flexability, permability, water proof/resistant, and electric proof/resistant will be physical properties. Chemical proof/resistant, how it reacts with acid, water, soda, and thermal stability. Of course, there are more, but I can't think of more.

And remember, chemical and physical PROPERTIES are ability or what it can do, and I think you already know about it.

What chemical and physical properties of plastic make it a perfect material as substitute to other thing?

Some examples: - plastics have a very low density - plastics are not corroded - platics are easily machined - plastics are non-corrodable


What is the chemical properties of plastics?

There are many different kinds of plastics that have many different chemical properties. However, some of the most common are chemical resistance, water reactivity, solubility, and thermal stability.


When do the physical and chemical properties change?

Physical and chemical properties change as the result of a chemical change, which produces new products with different physical and chemical properties than the reactants.


Does a chemical reaction change physical properties or chemical?

it changes chemical properties


Is Octane a physical or chemical property?

octane is not a chemical or physical property. Properties are what define something not what they are. So octane has both chemical and physical properties.
