   A plastic handle from a kitchen utensil, deformed by heat and partially melted. One important classification of plastics is the degree to which the chemical processes used to make them are reversible or not. Thermoplastics do not undergo chemical change in their composition when heated and thus can be molded repeatedly.

6. Polycarbonate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycarbonate

   The characteristics of polycarbonate compare to those of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA, acrylic), but polycarbonate is stronger and will hold up longer to extreme temperature. Thermally processed material is usually totally amorphous, [ 7 ] and as a result is highly transparent to visible light , with better light transmission than many kinds ...

7. Acrylate polymer - Wikipedia
