Abstract
The polymers which are processed by melt processes, such as molding and extrusion, may be divided in various ways, for example, they may be divided into thermoplastics, thermosetting plastics and, into elastomers. Each type of material may, in turn, be extensively modified by, for example, the use of fillers.
