The yield stress of any plastic is usually not use to describe the material because all plastics yielding stress is a function of the rate at which it is loaded and its temperature. For example if you leave something like silly putty on the corner of a table it will eventually creep over the edge of the table under its own weight, but if you cool it down to can use it to hit nails into wood. Same thing applies to poly-carbonate and other plastics just to a lesser extent.
Often the ultimate stress is used to determine if a plastic will fail but even that assumes that the plastic is a room temperature.

Is yield strength and proof stress same?
Yes it is the same. Offset Yield strength = 0.2% Proof Stress

Difference between yield stress and yield strength?
Stress is a measure of the load applied to a sample relative to a cross sectional area of the sample. Strength is a quantification of the samples ability to carry a load. The terms "yield strength" and "yield stress" of a material are usually used interchangeably (correct or not). It is the stress which will just cause the material to plastically deform. If a material yields at 30,000 psi, the yield stress is 30,000 psi. If the part in question has a cross sectional area of 2 square inches, the strength at yield would be 60,000 pounds, but usually we just say the yield strength is 30,000 psi.
Which type of plastic material can have high strength as-well as high toughness?
Polycarbonate mixed with fiberglass fibers.
What are cds made of?
CDs are made of polycarbonate and plastics.
Can you recycle polycarbonate plastic?
yes
What is the strongest clear plastic?
polycarbonate is the strongest clear plastic.
What are polycarbonate panels used for?
Polycarbonate panels are used as substitutes for glass and plastic such as in windows. You can purchase polycarbonate panels from retailers such as Amazon.
What is the strongest plastic?
Probably Polycarbonate. Even thin bits of Polycarbonate can withstand gun fire.
What plastic is a game case made from?
Polycarbonate
What is a CD case made from?
Polycarbonate
Why is polycarbonate plastic used in a phone?
Polycarbonate is used in a phone because it needs a hard texture of plastic to keep it protected incase it falls or smashes.
What plastics are used in mobile phones?
Polycarbonate is naturally transparent, with the ability to transmit light nearly that of glass. It has high strength, toughness, heat resistance, and excellent dimensional and colour stability. Flame retardants can be added to polycarbonate without significant loss of properties. It is used for the casing to be able to hold the phone together.
What does PC refer to in reference to recycling?
Polycarbonate plastic
What is are the physical properties of Polycarbonate plastic?
