In the main, plastics are tough, ignoring soft, crinkly plastics like plactic bags, because they are 1)polymers, meaning they have very long chain molecules, and 2), these molecules are lying together in rows, allowing very little space between them, which makes them hard, and rigid.

Does plastic have brittleness?
Plastics can be designed to be very brittle or very tough and flexible. Polymethyl methacrylate is quite brittle for example.
What is an example of a tough material?
There are many different examples of what could be considered tough materials. These materials include rubbers, metals, and plastics for example.
How does chemical resistance affect the use of plastics?
Chemical resistance in plastics determines their ability to withstand exposure to various chemicals without degrading. Plastics with high chemical resistance are suitable for applications where they will come into contact with harsh chemicals, such as in chemical processing or storage. It is essential to consider the chemical compatibility of a plastic when selecting materials for specific applications to ensure performance and safety.

What is tough matter?
Tough matter refers to materials or substances that exhibit high resistance to deformation, damage, or wear. This can include various metals, composites, or other engineered materials designed for strength and durability. Toughness is an important property in engineering and construction, as it ensures that structures and components can withstand stress and impact without failing. Examples of tough materials include steel, certain plastics, and ceramics.
Is a refrigerator made out of metal?
There is metal in it, but there is other things like plastics. Some are manufactured using Stainless Steel on the outer sides. Much of the inside is a really tough plastic that can withstand large temperature extremes.
