Plastic has mechanical properties (holds the bar in position) but no structural properties, and is a foreign element within the construction. When the concrete is poured into the form, a small gap is created between the concrete and the plastic. Plastic has a coefficient of thermal expansion and contraction 10 to 15 times that of concrete.
