PLASTIC & COMPOSITES

• Workbook p. 205

• Textbook p. 397

A PLASTIC

• Is a material made of polymers, to which other substances may be added to obtain certain desirable properties (p. 397)

Polymer Structure

A THERMOPLASTIC

• Is a plastic that becomes soft enough when heated to be molded or remolded and that hardens enough when cooled to hold its shape

Thermoplastic Products

A THERMOSETTING PLASTIC

• Is a plastic that remains permanently hard, even when heated

Thermosetting Products

A COMPOSITE

• Is formed by combining materials from different categories to obtain a material with enhanced properties.

Carbon Fiber
