This document discusses various thermoplastics, their properties, and common uses. Thermoplastics are plastics that can be remelted and remolded if heated again. Examples discussed include polyvinyl chloride (PVC), commonly used in pipes, cables, and clothing; polyethylene, with applications in bottles, bags, and films; and polypropylene and polymethyl methacrylate (Perspex), both used in a variety of products and packaging.
Plastics has been evolving now a days. Our lives has been filled with plastics. Almost all of our things are made of plastics but do you what it is and what it is made of?
One of the most common and widely used plastic is polyethylene or PE with the resin codes 2 and 4. It is mostly used as plastic bags, food wraps, bulletproof vest, pipes and so many more. Here is a little preview of polyethylene and what is its purpose in our daily lives.

The simplified electron and muon model, Oscillating Spacetime: The Foundation...RitikBhardwaj56
Discover the Simplified Electron and Muon Model: A New Wave-Based Approach to Understanding Particles delves into a groundbreaking theory that presents electrons and muons as rotating soliton waves within oscillating spacetime. Geared towards students, researchers, and science buffs, this book breaks down complex ideas into simple explanations. It covers topics such as electron waves, temporal dynamics, and the implications of this model on particle physics. With clear illustrations and easy-to-follow explanations, readers will gain a new outlook on the universe's fundamental nature.

2. PLASTICS - INTRODUCTION
• Material of “New age”
• Its basic constituent is prepared synthetically or semi-
synthetically from monomer.
• Easily machined , cast and joined
• Ease of manufacturing and versatility
• hardness, elasticity, breaking strength, temperature resistance,
thermal dimensional stability, chemical resistance
• Properties
• Low cost
• ease of manufacture
• Versatility
• imperviousness to water
• usually low melting point
• electrical insulator (except stretch-oriented polyacetylene).
• Some may decompose to toxic substances when heated.
3. PLASTICS HISTORY
FİRST PLASTİC:
PARKESİNE
•The first man-made plastic was created
by Alexander Parkes who publicly
demonstrated it at the 1862 Great
International Exhibition in London.
•The material called Parkesine was an
organic material derived from cellulose
that once heated could be molded, and
retained its shape when cooled.
6. THERMOPLASTICS
• A thermoplastic, also called a thermo-softening
plastic is a plastic which becomes pliable or
mouldable above a specific temperature and
returns to a solid state upon cooling.
• Most thermoplastics have a high molecular
weight.
• Polymers which moulds above Glass transition
temperature and returns to normal state upon
cooling.
• CHARACTERISTIC: More aesthetically
pleasing, Stronger and stiffer but lower
toughness, expensive forming process, less
resistance to mechanical creep, not suitable for
use in extremely temperatures, little to no
cross-linking in microstructure, eco-friendly
forming process.
10. POLYVINYL CHLORIDE (PVC)
• Polyvinyl chloride is produced by polymerization of the vinyl
chloride monomer (VCM)
• PVC comes in two forms, rigid -RPVC (for construction in
pipe and in doors and windows) and are made more flexible
by addition of plasticizers (phthalates). [Add ease of work,
used for cables, lowers glass transition temperature, increased
flexibility and durability]
11. PROPERTIES
• Tough
• lightweight material that is resistant to acids and bases.
• High hardness
• high modulus of elasticity (rigid-type), very low modulus of
elasticity (flexible)
• Poor heat stability, small expansion coefficient
• Good flame retarding
• Electrical insulator
USES
• Much of it is used by the construction industry, such as for
vinyl siding, drainpipes, gutters and roofing sheets.
• PVC pipes, electric cable insulation, uPVC in place of wood,
signs, clothing, furniture
• It is also converted to flexible forms with the addition of
plasticizers, thereby making it useful for items such as hoses,
tubing, electrical insulation, coats, jackets and upholstery.
• Flexible PVC is also used in inflatable products, such as water
beds and pool toys.
12. POLYETHYLENE
• Polyethylene (polyethene, polythene, PE) is a
family of similar materials categorized according
to their density and molecular structure.
• It’s the most common plastic, mixture of organic
compounds.
PROPERTIES:
• Low strength
• Hardness and rigidity
• High ductility
• Relatively low melting point
• Corrosion resistant (from acids and bases)
• Burns slowly with a blue flame
The most important polyethylene grades are:
UHMWPE, HDPE, MDPE, and LDPE.
13. 1)ULTRA-HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT PE (UHMWPE):
• Tough and resistant to chemicals.
USES:
• manufacture moving machine parts
• bearings gears
• artificial joints
• some bulletproof vests.
2) HIGH-DENSITY POLYETHYLENE (HDPE):
• Density >= 0.941g/cm3.
• Low degree of branching low tensile strength
USES:
• milk jugs
• detergent bottles
• garbage containers
• water pipes.
14. 3)MEDIUM-DENSITY POLYETHYLENE (MDPE):
• Density 0.926-0.940g/cm3.
• Good shock and drop resistance
• less notch sensitive than HDPE
• stress cracking resistance is also better.
USES:
• gas pipes and fittings
• sacks
• shrink film
• carrier bags.
4)LOW-DENSITY POLYETHYLENE (LDPE)
• Density 0.910-0.940g/cm3,
• lower tensile strength, increased ductility
USES:
• rigid containers
• plastic film applications.
15. POLYPROPYLENE
PROPERTIES
• Tough & flexible
• light weight & durable
• used as an engineering plastic when copolymerized with ethylene
• good resistance to fatigue
• corrosion resistant & heat resistant
• resilient to impact and freezing, can be joined by heat fusion
USES
• Plastic hinges,
• as a dielectric, kettles, food containers, carpets, rugs, ropes,
• PVC alternative
• electrical cables
• plastic mouldings (bottle tops, bottles, and fittings)
16. POLYMETHYLMETHACRYLATE (PERSPEX)
• Shatter resistant which is also called acrylic glass
PROPERTIES:
• Moderate strength
• easy handling and processing
• low cost
• prone to scratching
USES:
• Transparent glass substitute (submersibles, aircraft, riot
control, aquariums)
• daylight radiation
• implants
• acrylic paint

Thermoplastic uses Example outcomes
Acrylics or Perspex
(Polymethyl
Methacrylate)
Stiff, hard, shiny, brittle in
small sections, durable,
scratches easily, available
in different colours, good
electrical insulator
Used for signs, key rings,
lighting, storage containers
High impact polystyrene
(HIPS)
Light but strong plastic,
available in sheets in a
variety of thicknesses and
colours and softens at
about 95 degrees
Used for vacuum forming and
making outer casings and
packaging for products
Acetate Hard, shiny and
translucent/transparent
Used in badge-making,
packaging and for overhead
projector transparencies
Expanded polystyrene
(styrofoam)
White, lightweight and
crumbly
Used for protective or
insulating packaging
• Thermosetting – plastics that can only be heated and be moulded once. If re-heated they cannot soften.
• Thermoplastics – plastics that are moulded by heating and can be remoulded if heated again.
Thermoplastics soften when heated and can be shaped when hot. The plastic will harden as it cools down.
