PLASTIC MATERIALS
  1. Elastomers
    1. Neoprene
      1. Flexible, insulated and water proof
        1. Used for immersion suits
        2. Rubber
          1. Can be natural or synthetic
            1. Used to make tyres, hoses or rubber bands due to it elasticity
            2. Very flexible, recover its shape and dimension after esternal forces stop forcing on them. Degrade easily with heat, can't be remelted.
            3. Thermoplastics
              1. Softened by heating. Formed and melted as many times we like. Weak bonds polymers
                1. Polyethylene (PE)
                  1. Offers chemical resistence, non-toxic (suitable food packaging)
                    1. Used in bags, bottles, containers...
                    2. Polystyrene (PS)
                      1. Very lightweight and transparent
                        1. Used in packaging and heat insulation
                        2. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
                          1. Highly resistance forabrasion and impact
                            1. Used in pipes, cable insulation and profiles for doors and windows
                            2. Polypropylene (PP)
                              1. Easy to model and dye, resistant to solvents and splintering
                                1. Used for toys, folders, packaning...
                                2. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET)
                                  1. Suitable for food use, completely recyclable, transparent and easy to dye
                                    1. Used to make bottles
                                    2. Teflon
                                      1. Highly resitance to chemicals and high temperatures
                                        1. Used to coat frying pans and other kitchen utensils due to non-stick properties
                                        2. Polycarbonate (PC)
                                          1. Highly resistance to impact and heat
                                            1. Used for shatterproof windows, lightweight eyeglass lenses due to it optical transparency
                                          2. Thermoset
                                            1. It criss-croos forming networks. Can be shaped using heat, but cannot be re-melted to make new forms
                                              1. Melamine
                                                1. Resistant to high temperatures and chemicals, easy to clean
