Abstract
The previous chapters have described the opportunities and risks of plastics as materials, whereas in this chapter and the chapters, “Opportunities and Risks Involved in Designing Structural Components Made of Polymers,” “Plastics and Structural Components – The Environment and Recycling,” they will be discussed in terms of the structural components made of plastics. The opportunities often predominate due to the advantages of plastics over other materials, for example metals, ceramics, and wood. To avoid repetition, this chapter will deal primarily with the risks of the utilization phase of plastic products. The specific applications used to illustrate this are listed in the keywords.
