Answer 1

Answer:

Properties of Plastics

• They are light in weight and is chemically stable.
• Easily moulded into different shapes and sizes.
• Good insulation and low thermal conductivity.
• Good impact resistance and they do not rust.
• Good transparency and wear resistance.
• Poor dimensional stability and can be easily deformed.

Properties of plastics vary depending on the chemical composition, arrangements and the processing method of its subunits.

Plastics come from polymers, hence all plastics are polymers, but not all polymers are plastic.

Plastics may be amorphous solids, crystalline solids, or semicrystalline solids (crystallites) or any other form of solids.

They are poor conductors of heat and electricity. The plastics that act as insulators mostly have a high dielectric strength.

Plastics have a slow rate of degradation and tend to be durable.
