Is plastic a element or a compound?
Plastics are made from more than one element and therefore are compounds.
What is a simple explanation of how plastic is made?
Plastic is made from polymer resins derived from natural gas or crude oil. These resins are heated and molded into different shapes to create the plastic products we use. Different additives are mixed in to give plastic its desirable characteristics, such as flexibility and durability.
Plastic differs from copper?
Plastic is an organic polymer derived from petroleum products, while copper is a metal with high electrical conductivity. Plastic is lightweight, flexible, and non-conductive, while copper is durable, malleable, and a good conductor of heat and electricity.
How does exposure to sunlight affect the strength of a plastic bag?
Tt makes the bag weaker by evaporating the plasticizers the stiffer material physically snaps into smaller pieces)or by breaking bonds in the polymer. Biodegradable bags exploit this by installing weaker bonds in the polymer (usually starch) that are more sensitive to light or biological attack.
Is perspex a compound mixture or element?
Perspex is a compound, specifically a type of acrylic plastic. It is made from a combination of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) resin, which is a synthetic polymer, and other additives for strength and durability.
What is difference between simple and long chain polymer?
simple polymer are define as themosofning plastic where as long chain polymer define as thermosetting plastic
Difference between plastics and polymers?
Ha Ha Ha actually we can't differentiate between plastic and polymer because plastic itself is made of polymer.
What is rasin?
Fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) (also called fibre-reinforced polymer, or fiber-reinforced plastic) is a composite material made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibres. The fibres are usually glass, carbon, aramid, or basalt. Rarely, other fibres such as paper, wood, or asbestos have been used. The polymer is usually an epoxy, vinylester, or polyester thermosetting plastic, though phenol formaldehyde resins are still in use.

What is the difference between plastic and rubber?
Rubber is a naturally occurring substance from the sap of rubber trees. Plastic is a man made polymer made from oil.
Is CFRP a plastic?
The simple answer is yes. CFRP is Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic. So this is what is known as a composite material. It is a polymer/plastic that has its properties improved by the addition of carbon fiber.
What is the purpose of fiber reinforced plasitc?
Fibre reinforced plastic is often used in construction, automotive, marine and aerospace. It's made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibres. Some examples of those fibres are glass, aramid, carbon and basalt.
What is the difference between a carbon fiber and GRP?
Carbon fiber is a reinforced composite material made of carbon fibers embedded in a polymer resin matrix, known for its lightweight and strong properties. On the other hand, GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) is a composite material made of glass fibers embedded in a plastic resin matrix. The main difference lies in the type of fibers used (carbon vs. glass) and their respective properties in terms of strength, weight, and cost.
What is the difference between a simple and long chain polymer?
The main difference between a simple and long-chain polymer is the size of the repeating units they are made of. Simple polymers consist of small repeating units, while long-chain polymers are made up of longer repeating units. Long-chain polymers typically have higher molecular weights and physical properties than simple polymers.
What is polymer plastic used for?
plastic eyeballs...
Is fiberglass also referred to as fiberglass reinforced plastic?
No its not, its very stiff, poly urathane is more flexable and a hell of a lot more durable. Thin thin layers of fiber glass, like 1 or 2 sheets is flexible and not durable, breaks very easily. But reinforced plastic fiberglass, flexible, no its not, very very stiff.
Is plastic a metalliod?
No it is a polymer.
