What are some limiting properties of plastics, and in what general area do they fall.

Solution

SOME OF THE LIMITING PROPERTIES OF PLASTIC ARE:

1. They are electric insulators

2. The resistance to heat is very less when compared to the metals or other materials.

3. The physical mechanism that cause plastic deformation can vary widely when compared with metals, soils, rocks, concrete, etc.

4. They (most of them without additives) deform easily due to the application of load.

5. For example, a solid piece of metal being bent or pounded into a new shape displays plasticity as permanent changes occur within the material itself.
