Abstract

Commodity plastics such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), and polyvinylchloride (PVC) make up a large of proportion of the total tonnage of plastic currently being used mainly for non-loadbearing applications (e.g. consumer products). However, with the ever-increasing use of plastics in the areas dominated by the use of metal or ceramics, e.g. in the automobile industry, new engineering plastics, both thermoplastics and thermoset resins, have been developed which provide the combinations of lightness and good balance of stiffness, and some also in toughness, over a wide range of temperature applications.
