Plastics are synthetic materials that can be molded into useful items like plates, car components, and medical aids. There are two main types of plastics: thermoplastics, which can be softened by heat and remolded, and thermosetting plastics, which harden permanently after being heated. Some examples of plastics and their uses include ABS, a tough thermoplastic used in safety helmets; nylon, a hard and self-lubricating thermoplastic for quiet, low-friction applications; acrylic, a clear and durable thermoplastic used in aircraft canopies and double glazing; and polyester resin, a thermosetting plastic employed in castings, boats,

Engineering Materials, Task 5

Add this extra information to the following text about plastics. )(

Plastics are synthetic materials. They can be softened and moulded into useful articles, for
example plates, car components and medical aids. They have many applications in engineering.
There are two types of plastics: thermoplastics, which soften when heated again and again and
thermosetting plastics which set hard and do not alter if heated again.

ABS is a thermoplastic which is tough and durable. Because it has high impact strength, it has
applications where sudden loads may occur, such as safety helmets.

Nylon is a hard, self-lubricating, tough thermoplastic. It is used where silent, low-friction


operation is required, such as motorized drives in cameras.

Acrylic, which is a clear thermoplastic, can be formed in several ways. It is hard, durable, and
has many uses, for example aircraft canopies and double glazing.

Polyester resin is a thermosetting plastic used for castings and for boat and car bodies. It has a
number of useful properties such as being hard and having good chemical and heat resistance
