Which one below is true for thermoplastic polymers? *
O They do not soften when heated and do not harden when cooled.
O Most cross-linked polymers are thermoplastics.
O None of them.
O They are harder and stronger than thermosetting polymers.
Connecting rod (as shown below) is a car part that connects engine piston to crankshaft and converts reciprocating motion into rotating motion. It performs under load at high temperature around 150°C. Long carbon fiber thermoplastic composite (LFT) with 30% carbon fiber has been considered to replace metal (steel or aluminum) rod to improve efficiency.
Based on the data for different polymers listed in the table above, which polymer(s) would you choose as the polymer matrix for the connecting rod? What is your rationale?
Why do thermoplastic polymers start to turn white as they are plastically deformed?
