  2. Polycarbonate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycarbonate

    Polycarbonate. Polycarbonates (PC) are a group of thermoplastic polymers containing carbonate groups in their chemical structures. Polycarbonates used in engineering are strong, tough materials, and some grades are optically transparent. They are easily worked, molded, and thermoformed. Because of these properties, polycarbonates find many ...

  3. Plastic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic

    Plastics are a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic materials that use polymers as a main ingredient. Their plasticity makes it possible for plastics to be molded, extruded or pressed into solid objects of various shapes. This adaptability, plus a wide range of other properties, such as being lightweight, durable, flexible, and inexpensive ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosgene

    Phosgene is a valued and important industrial building block, especially for the production of precursors of polyurethanes and polycarbonate plastics. Phosgene is extremely poisonous and was used as a chemical weapon during World War I, where it was responsible for 85,000 deaths. It is a highly potent pulmonary irritant and quickly filled enemy ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monomer

    Monomer. A monomer (/ ˈmɒnəmər / MON-ə-mər; mono-, "one" + -mer, "part") is a molecule that can react together with other monomer molecules to form a larger polymer chain or three-dimensional network in a process called polymerization. [1][2][3] Monomer molecule: A molecule which can undergo polymerization, thereby contributing ...

  7. Prepolymer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prepolymer

    Prepolymer. In polymer chemistry, the term prepolymer or pre-polymer, refers to a monomer or system of monomers that have been reacted to an intermediate- molecular mass state. This material is capable of further polymerization by reactive groups to a fully cured, high-molecular-mass state. As such, mixtures of reactive polymers with un-reacted ...

  8. Bisphenol A - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisphenol_A

    Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical compound primarily used in the manufacturing of various plastics. It is a colourless solid which is soluble in most common organic solvents, but has very poor solubility in water. [2][7] BPA is produced on an industrial scale by the condensation reaction of phenol and acetone.

  9. Plastic extrusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_extrusion

    Short video on injection molding (9 min 37 s) Plastics extrusion is a high-volume manufacturing process in which raw plastic is melted and formed into a continuous profile. Extrusion produces items such as pipe/tubing, weatherstripping, fencing, deck railings, window frames, plastic films and sheeting, thermoplastic coatings, and wire insulation.
