Plastic

Plastics are a constant presence in everyday life, having uses in various fields such as heavy industry, machine building industry (automotive components), food industry (packaging), aeronautical industry, pharmaceutical industry, light industry (goods). consumer goods or toys) and many more.

One of the most used techniques for processing plastics is by injection because in this way complex parts with various uses can be obtained as mentioned above.

Knowing the classification method, the types, the main properties of the plastics as well as their behavior during hot processing and during use is important for selecting the appropriate material for a particular application and for optimizing the processing parameters. In addition, knowledge of the main techniques for characterization / analysis of plastics is useful for improving the performance of the material and for investigating defects (which can lead to material failure or shortening of life) that occur during processing or use.
