  2. Thermoplastic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoplastic

    In this state, thermoplastics may be reshaped, and are typically used to produce parts by various polymer processing techniques such as injection molding, compression molding, calendering, and extrusion. [3] [4] Thermoplastics differ from thermosetting polymers (or "thermosets"), which form irreversible chemical bonds during the curing process ...

  3. Thermosetting polymer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermosetting_polymer

    Thermosetting plastics are generally stronger than thermoplastic materials due to the three-dimensional network of bonds (crosslinking), and are also better suited to high-temperature applications up to the decomposition temperature since they keep their shape as strong covalent bonds between polymer chains cannot be broken easily. The higher ...

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Category:Thermosetting_plastics

    Thermosetting plastics are polymer materials which are liquid or malleable at low temperatures, but which change irreversibly to become hard at high temperatures. Subcategories This category has only the following subcategory.

  5. Plastic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic

    Thermosets, or thermosetting polymers, can melt and take shape only once: after they have solidified, they stay solid and retain their shape permanently. [16] If reheated, thermosets decompose rather than melt. Examples of thermosets include epoxy resin, polyimide, and Bakelite. The vulcanization of rubber is an example of this process.

  6. Thermoplastic elastomer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoplastic_elastomer

    Thermoplastic elastomers show advantages typical of both rubbery materials and plastic materials. The benefit of using thermoplastic elastomers is the ability to stretch to moderate elongations and return to its near original shape creating a longer life and better physical range than other materials.

  7. Acrylic resin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylic_resin

    An acrylic resin is a thermoplastic or thermosetting plastic substance typically derived from acrylic acid, methacrylic acid and acrylate monomers such as butyl acrylate and methacrylate monomers such as methyl methacrylate. Thermoplastic acrylics designate a group of acrylic resins typically containing both a high molecular weight and a high ...

  8. Injection moulding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Injection_moulding

    Common polymers like epoxy and phenolic are examples of thermosetting plastics while nylon, polyethylene, and polystyrene are thermoplastic. [1]: 242 Until comparatively recently, plastic springs were not possible, but advances in polymer properties make them now quite practical. Applications include buckles for anchoring and disconnecting ...
