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 ...
Poly(p-phenylene oxide) (PPO), poly(p-phenylene ether) (PPE), poly(oxy-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene), often referred to simply as polyphenylene oxide, is a high-temperature thermoplastic with the general formula (C 8 H 8 O) n. It is rarely used in its pure form due to difficulties in processing.

HDPE is known for its high strength-to-density ratio. [4] The density of HDPE ranges from 930 to 970 kg/m 3. [5] Although the density of HDPE is only marginally higher than that of low-density polyethylene, HDPE has little branching, giving it stronger intermolecular forces and tensile strength (38 MPa versus 21 MPa) than LDPE.

Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is a thermoplastic made from the monomer ethylene. It was the first grade of polyethylene, produced in 1933 by John C. Swallow and M.W Perrin who were working for Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) using a high pressure process via free radical polymerization. [1] Its manufacture employs the same method today.
Polyetherimide (PEI; branded as Ultem [1]) is an amorphous, amber-to-transparent thermoplastic with characteristics similar to the related plastic PEEK.When comparing PEI to PEEK, the former is cheaper but has lower impact strength and a tighter temperature range.
Thermoplastic. Somewhat brittle when set Water-soluble Cabinetmaking, bookbinding, lutherie, glue-size: Keratin glues Hoof glue and horn glue: hooves of ungulates, animal horns: Hooves or horns are fragmented, boiled into goo, and acidified partially- hydrolyzed keratin: Until it cools Thermoplastic. Hardens as it cools, but does not become brittle
Acrylic resin is a common ingredient in latex paint (UK: "emulsion paint"). Latex paints with a greater proportion of acrylic resin offer better stain protection, greater water resistance, better adhesion, greater resistance to cracking and blistering, and resistance to alkali cleaners compared to those with vinyl.
