Polymer material name and use

plastic

Plastics can be further classified into thermoplastics and thermosets depending on the condition of the heating.

After heating, it softens and the plastic forming the polymer melt becomes a thermoplastic. The main thermoplastics are polyethylene (PE[1]), polypropylene (PP [2]), polystyrene (PS [3]), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA, commonly known as plexiglass [4]), Polyvinyl chloride (PVC [5]), nylon (Nylon [6]), polycarbonate (PC [7]), polyurethane (PU [8] ), polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon, PTFE [9]) , polyethylene terephthalate (PET, PETE [10]). A plastic that cures after heating to form a crosslinked infusible structure is called a thermosetting plastic. Commonly used are epoxy resin [11], phenolic plastic, polyimide, melamine formaldehyde resin and the like. Plastic processing methods include injection, extrusion, film pressing, hot pressing, blow molding, and the like.

rubber

Rubber can be divided into natural rubber and synthetic rubber. The main component of natural rubber is polyisoprene. The main varieties of synthetic rubber are butyl rubber, butadiene rubber, neoprene rubber, EPDM rubber, acrylate rubber, urethane rubber.

Polymer materials, silicone rubber, fluoro rubber, etc.

fiber

Synthetic fibers are another important application of polymeric materials. Common synthetic fibers include nylon, polyester, acrylic polyester fibers, aramid fibers, and the like.

coating

The coating is a layer of polymer material coated on the surface of industrial or daily products for aesthetics or protection. Industrial coatings commonly used for polymer materials include epoxy resin and polyurethane.
