The properties of the plastic depend heavily on the size of the molecule and on the arrangement of the atoms within the molecule. For example, polyethylene is made from the ethylene building block that is initially a gas.Througha processcalledpolymerization,achainofethylenemoleculesisformedbyvalencebondingofthecarbonatomswithintheethylenemolecule.Thehighmolecularweightproductwhichresultsiscalledapolymer.Hence,thedesignationpolyethyleneisusedtodistinguishthehigh-molecular-weightplasticfromitsgaseouscounterpart,ethylene,whichisthemonomerthatbecomespolymerized.The“poly”referstothe“many”ethylenebuildingblockmoleculesormonomers,whichjointoformthepolyethyleneplasticmolecule.Frequently,theterm“resin”isused,interchangeablywith“polymer”todescribethebackbonemoleculeofaplasticmaterial.However,“resin”issometimesusedtodescribeasyrupyliquidofbothnaturalandsyntheticresin.Plastics,inthefinishedproductform,areseldomcomprisedexclusivelyofpolymerbutalsoincludeotheringredientssuchasfillers,pigments,stabilizers,andprocessingaids.However,designationoftheplasticmaterialormoldingcompoundisalwaystakenfromthepolymerdesignation.Broadlyspeakingplasticsmaybedividedintotwocategories:thermoplasticsandthermosetplastics.Theclassesofmaterialsaresonamedbecauseoftheeffectoftemperatureontheirproperties. 2.2.1Thermosets Thermosetplasticsarepolymerswhicharerelativelyuselessintheirrawstates.Uponheatingtoacertaintemperatureaachemicalreactiontakesplacewhichcausesthemoleculestobondtogetherorcross-link.Aftervulcanizationandpolymerization,orcuring,thethermosetmaterialremainsstableandcannotreturntoitsoriginalstate.Thus,”thermo-set”identifiesthosematerialsthatbecomesetintheiruseablestateresultingfromtheadditionofheat.Normally,athermosetpolymerismixedwithfillersandreinforcingagentstoobtainthepropertiesofamoldingcompound.Thermosetsarethehardestandstiffestofallplastics,arechemicallyinsolubleaftercuring,andtheirpropertiesarelessaffectedbychangesintemperaturethanaretheheat-sensitivethermoplastics.Theclosestnon-plasticcounterpartstothermosetsinpropertiesareceramics.Commonexamplesofthermosetplasticsare:phenolics,melamine,urea,alkyds,andepoxies.Moldingcompoundsmadefromthesepolymericresinsalwayscontainadditionalfillersandreinforcingagentstoobtainoptimumproperties.2.2.2Thermoplastics Thermoplasticpolymersareheat-sensitivematerialswhicharesolidsatroomtemperature,likemostmetals.Uponheating,thethermoplasticsbegintosoftenandeventuallyreachameltingpointandbecomeliquid.Allowingathermoplastictocoolbelowitsmeltingpointcausesresolidificationorfreezingoftheplastic.Successiveheatingandcoolingcyclescauserepetitionofthemelting-freezingcyclejustasitdoesformetals.Thefactthatthermoplasticsmeltisthebasisfortheirprocessingintofinishedparts.Thermoplasticsmaybeprocessedbyanymethodwhichcausessofteningormeltingofthematerial.Examplesofthermoplasticfabricationtechniquesusingmeltingare:injectionmolding,extrusion,rotationalcasting,andcalendering.Fabricationmethodswhichtakeadvantageofsofteningbelowthemeltingpointare:thermoforming(vacuumorpressure),blowmolding,andforging.Ofcourse,normalmetal-cuttingtechniquescanalsobeappliedtothermoplasticsinthesolidstate.Commonexamplesofthermoplasticsare:polyethylene,polystyrene,polyvinylchloride(PVC),andnylon(polyamide).2.2.3Fillers Plasticsoftencontainotheraddedmaterialscalledfillers.Fillersareemployedtoincreasebulkandtohelpimpartdesiredproperties.Plasticscontainingfillerswillcurefasterandholdclosertoestablishedfinisheddimensions,sincetheplasticshrinkagewillbereduced.Woodflouristhegeneral-purposeandmostcommonlyusedfiller.Cottonfrock,producedfromcottonlinters,increasesmechanicalstrength.Forhigherstrengthandresistancetoimpact,cottonclothchoppedintosectionsabout1/2-inchsquarecanbeprocessedwiththeplastic.Asbestosfibermaybeusedasafillerforincreasedheatandfireresistance,andmicaisusedformoldingplasticpartswithsuperiordielectriccharacteristics.Glassfibers,silicon,cellulose,clay,ornutshellflourmayalsobeused.Nutshellflourisusedinsteadofwoodflourwhereabetterfinishisdesired.Plasticpartsusingshortfiberfillerswillresultinlowercosts,whilethosewithlongfiberfillershavinggreaterimpactstrengthsaremoreexpensive.Othermaterials,notdefinedasfillers,suchasdyes,pigments,lubricants,accelerators,andplasticizersmayalsobeadded.Plasticizersareaddedtosoftenandimprovethemoldabilityofplastics.Fillerandmodifyingagentsareaddedandmixedwiththerawplasticbeforeitismoldedorformed.2.2.4PropertiesofPlastics 1.GeneralProperties Theproblemofselectingplasticmaterialsisthatoffinding thematerialwithsuitablepropertiesfromthestandpointofintendedservice,methodsofformingandfabricating,andcost.Newandimprovedplasticmaterialspossessingalmostanydesiredcharacteristicarebeingintroducedcontinually.Thereareplasticsthatdonotrequireplasticizersthathavegreaterflexibilityunderlowertemperatures,andarestableunderhighertemperatures.Someresistwater,acids,oils,andotherdestructivematter.Thewideuseofplasticstestifiestotheirvalue;however,fundamentallimitationsshouldbeconsideredwhenapplyinganewmaterialoradaptinganoldmaterialtonewapplications.2.
