Introduction to Polymers | Polymeric Materials Series

Do you wonder why some plastic parts melt when heated, while others don’t? Or why some plastics dissolve in acetone, while nail polish remover bottles aren’t affected by it? This series will explain why polymeric materials can exhibit a wide range of properties, and show the pros and cons of each material type. In this video, you will learn how the long, strand-like molecular structure of polymeric materials leads to unique properties such as viscoelasticity and non-Newtonian flow.
