The properties of synthetic polymers vary as it depends on the polymer. Synthetic polymers are created for certain uses so a useful property for a Nappie would be that it absorbs liquid through thermogels however this would not be a useful property for a raincoat as it would absorb the water rather than repeal it.

What is the use of poly vinyl chloride?
it is used for making toys it is an example of thermoplastics
What do the big six polymers have in common?
The big six polymers are classified as thermoplastics. This means that they can be melted and shaped.
What is the melting point of a plastic thermoset?
The melting point of thermoplastics depends on the particular type of thermoplastics. The melting point varies from 160 Degrees Celsius to 350 Degrees Celsius for engineering thermoplastics. When it comes to high temperature thermoplastics, the melting point varies from 3593 to 4010 Degrees Celsius.
Can you name 10 different facts about thermoplastics?
* acrylonite butodine styrene * acrylic * celluloid * cellulose acetate * ethylene-vinyl acetate * styrene-acrylonitrile * polyvinylidene chloride * polyvinyl chloride * polyvinyl acetate * polyurethane
What are metal lunchboxses made of?
gtrbvb4 bct4 vbfhb\A\QZKI\AZ Plastic boxes are made out of thermoplastics, usually polypropylene as they are colourful, don't stain and are hard wearing.
Who uses thermoplastics?

What are names of some commonly used thermoplastics?
Acetal is a commonly used name for a family of thermoplastics. Its chemical name is PolyoxyMethylene.Another commonly used name for thermoplastics is Hotmelt.
Why are thermoplastics are not used for making saucepan handles?
because they melt... read thermoplastics very slowly
Two types of thermoplastic?
thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics thermoplastics go soft when exposed to heat thermosetting plastics set (harden) when exposed to heat only thermoplastics are recyclable
When do you need thermoplastics?
Thermoplastics are polymers that can be molded above a certain temperature. They are needed to manufacture such plastics as acrylic, nylon and polystyrene.
What qualities do thermoplastics have?
different ones
How does hydrogen bonding affect thermoplastics?
no
What are uses of thermoplastics?
In thermoplastics, the process of softening by heating and hardening on cooling can be repeated again and again to soften the plastic to get different shapes.
Is thermoplastic where you can remold it?
Yes. Thermoplastics are "heat-softening". Provided that you don't heat them to the point of destruction, thermoplastics can be remoulded and reused easily.
Can we substitute thermosetting plastics with thermo plastics?
Thermoplastics are the only ones that can be recycled. Thermosets cannot be recycled.
What are 4 types of thermoplastics?
nose and bannanas
What two families of plastic are there?
thermoplastic plastics (recyclable)thermosetting plastics (non-recyclable)
