What are the main features of plastics?
Specifically, the plastic is made of natural or synthetic resin as the main ingredient, adding various additives, in certain conditions such as temperature and pressure can be made into a certain shape, keep shape materials at room temperature.
Plastic is a kind of synthetic polymer with plasticity. With synthetic rubber and synthetic fiber, it has become the three most important synthetic materials in daily life.
Some plastic as hard as stone, steel, such as paper, some soft leather; from the plastic hardness, tensile strength, elongation and impact strength and other mechanical properties, wide distribution, great use of choice. Because of the small proportion and high strength of plastics, they have higher specific strength. Compared with other materials, plastics also have obvious disadvantages, such as easy combustion, poor stiffness, high metal resistance, poor aging resistance, and non thermal resistance.
