Aside from the resin and the fillers, can you state the other components of plastics in lay-man's term please. Give examples also. Thank you! :))
Most plastics are made of some type of polymer, which is just a really, really, really big molecule. These can be crazy-long chains of carbons and other groups, and depending on what those groups are, your plastic can be strong and tough, or soft and flexible - or even heat-resistant. It is the structure of the polymer in the plastic that determines how the plastic behaves. Does that help?
