Describe the important mechanical and physical properties of plastics.
Explanation of Solution
Plastic is that material which include synthetic or semi synthetic organic compound in large quantity. Also due to the property of malleability, ability to deform under compressive stress, it can change into solid objects.
The important mechanical and physical properties of plastics are discussed below:
- 1) This type of material, plastic, has high corrosion and chemical resistant.
- 2) This type of material, plastic, has low electrical and thermal conductivity.
- 3) This type of material, plastic, has low density rating.
- 4) This type of material, plastic, has high strength to weight ratio.
- 5) This type of material, plastic, has wide range of colors and transparencies.
- 6) This type of material, plastic, is helpful in noise reduction.
- 7) This type of material, plastic, has low cost as compared to other type of similar materials.
- 8) This type of material, plastic, has ease of manufacturing in a wide range of complexities and design possibilities.
