plastics within force for technological progress. Plastics have a whole array the material classes of benefits to offer and in many cases can effectively replace metals or ceramics. Among different types of polymers, a distinction is drawn between thermosetting plastics, elasto- mers and thermoplastics. Thermosetting polymers, or thermoset plastics, are plastics which permit no further de- formation or shaping after three-dimensional chemical Metals Ceramics cross-linking. Elastomers are also cross linked materials but have the capacity for elastic deformation, and return to their original shape after exposure to load. Thermoplastic Metal-modified Fibre-reinforced plastics plastics polymers, or thermoplastics, are reversibly re-meltable as Plastics Thermoset they are not three-dimensionally cross-linked. The forces Elastomers plastics linking thermoplastic chains are less strong. The thermo- Thermoplastics plastic group of plastics is subdivided again into two differ- ent subgroups on the basis of their structure: amorphous and partially crystalline thermoplastics. Ensinger processes thermoplastics. These can be deformed and reshaped repeatedly and offer very wide scope for mod- ification. On principle, the entire thermoplastic group is subdivided Amorphous Semi-crystalline into three sections based partially on their thermal stability:
