2. Plastic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic

   Plastic. Household items made of various types of plastics. Plastics are a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic materials that use polymers as a main ingredient. Their plasticity makes it possible for plastics to be molded, extruded or pressed into solid objects of various shapes. This adaptability, plus a wide range of other properties ...

3. Photo-oxidation of polymers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photo-oxidation_of_polymers

   Chain scission is the dominant process, with chain branching and the formation of coloured impurities being less common. Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and carboxylic acids are the main products. The photo-oxidation of other linear polyesters such as polybutylene terephthalate and polyethylene naphthalate proceeds similarly.

4. Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-high-molecular...

   Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene ( UHMWPE, UHMW) is a subset of the thermoplastic polyethylene. Also known as high-modulus polyethylene ( HMPE ), it has extremely long chains, with a molecular mass usually between 3.5 and 7.5 million amu. [1] The longer chain serves to transfer load more effectively to the polymer backbone by ...

5. Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylonitrile_butadiene...

   Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene ( ABS) ( chemical formula (C 8 H 8) x · (C 4 H 6) y · (C 3 H 3 N) z ) is a common thermoplastic polymer. Its glass transition temperature is approximately 105 °C (221 °F). [4] ABS is amorphous and therefore has no true melting point. ABS is a terpolymer made by polymerizing styrene and acrylonitrile in the ...

6. Polyethylene terephthalate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyethylene_terephthalate

   Polyethylene terephthalate (or poly (ethylene terephthalate), PET, PETE, or the obsolete PETP or PET-P ), is the most common thermoplastic polymer resin of the polyester family and is used in fibres for clothing, containers for liquids and foods, and thermoforming for manufacturing, and in combination with glass fibre for engineering resins.

7. Polycarbonate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycarbonate

   Polycarbonate. Polycarbonates ( PC) are a group of thermoplastic polymers containing carbonate groups in their chemical structures. Polycarbonates used in engineering are strong, tough materials, and some grades are optically transparent. They are easily worked, molded, and thermoformed.
