Basic of polymer
1. Why Plastics?
(1)- Light in weight.
(2)- Low cost.
(3)- Available in variety of colours.
(4)- Easy process ability.
(5)- Easy assembly of parts to get final product.
(6)- Low co-efficient of friction.
(7)- Self Lubricating.
(8)- Corrosion Resistant.
2. Why Plastics?
(9)- Modification of polymer properties with additives
incorporation or blending of polymer.
(10)- Less manpower requirement.
(11)- Less Electricity requirement.
(12)-These are available in flexible, semi-rigid, and rigid form.
(13)- These are available in Transparent / Translucent
/opaque form.
(14)- Plastics have very long shelf life of product.

18. ADDITION POLYMER
1. nM Polymerization [M]n
2. No by-product are formed.
• 3. Total molecular weight of monomer is
equivalent to molecular weight of polymer.
4. EXAMPLE
PE
PP
PVC
PS
19. CONDENSATION POLYMER
• n MA
+ n MB
[Polymer] + nH2
O
• During reaction by-products are formed e.g.
Water etc..
• Molecular weight of polymer is less than
molecular weight of total monomer.
• These polymer require pre-drying before
processing
EXAMPLE
• Nylon
• Polyester PET, PBT
• PC
• Thermoset
22. THERMOPLASTICS
There are soft, rigid, hard.
These are translucent, transparent, opaque.
These are re-cyclable.
Additives are may or may not be required to be added.
These are processed by conventional techniques like Injection,
Extrusion, Blow Moulding, Roto-moulding techniques.
Example-Material like, LDPE, HDPE, LLDPE, PP, PVC, PS,
PMMA etc..
23. THERMOSET
These are hard, fused, brittle material.
These are also translucent, transparent, opaque.
These are non-re-cycleble and known as “Once set is ever set”.
Additives are compulsory requirement in these material.
These are processed by Compression Moulding, Transfer
Moulding, FRP techniques, Specially designed Injection
Moulding etc.
Example- Material like Polyesters, Epoxy, PF, UF, MF, Un-
saturated PU etc..
24. CRYSTALLINE, SEMI
CRYSTALLINE, AMORPHOUS
POLYMER
Crystalline polymers are opaque in nature. These are arranged
structure.
Semi crystalline polymers are translucent in nature.These are
having crystalline and amorphous regions.
Amorphous polymers are transparent in nature. These are
random or un-arranged structure.
