Can you name 10 different facts about thermoplastics?

Answer 1

* acrylonite butodine styrene * acrylic * celluloid * cellulose acetate * ethylene-vinyl acetate * styrene-acrylonitrile * polyvinylidene chloride * polyvinyl chloride * polyvinyl acetate * polyurethane

Answer 2

A thermoplastic is a material, usually a plastic polymer, which becomes soft when heated and hard when cooled. Thermoplastic materials can be cooled and heated several times. They can be recycled. When thermoplastics are heated, they melt to a liquid. They also freeze to a glassy state when cooled enough.

Thermoplastic materials have many features. Some products made from thermoplastic materials are used for electronic applications. They protect against electrostatic discharge and radio frequencyinterference. Thermoplastics are one of the main two types of plastics.

Thermoplastic can be moulded into any shape. Thermoplastics differ from thermosetting polymers. Thermosets form irreversible chemical bonds during the curing process.

Answer 3

1. Thermoplastics are a type of polymer that can be melted and reshaped multiple times.
2. They are lightweight and have a high strength-to-weight ratio.
3. Thermoplastics are widely used in various industries, including automotive, medical, and packaging.
4. They are recyclable and can be melted down and reused.
5. Thermoplastics do not undergo chemical change during molding, allowing for easy processing.
6. Common types of thermoplastics include polyethylene, polypropylene, PVC, and nylon.
7. They have excellent chemical resistance and are resistant to fatigue and stress cracking.
8. Thermoplastics can be transparent or opaque, depending on the material.
9. They exhibit good weathering and UV resistance properties.
10. Thermoplastics can be easily welded or bonded using adhesives.
