Thermoplastic polymers has very wide range of applications areas because of lotf of types of thermoplastic polymer types. And these polymers has very specific properties. One of these thermoplastics is polycarbonate(PC). In here, we give some information about polycarbonates and their applications and properties.
Polycarbonates are renowned with its very good mechanical properties such as very good creep resistance and high toughness. In addition to these excellent mechanical properties, polycarbonates has property of preserving its properties up to around 125C temperatures. It is very high application temperature around thermoplastics, even in all the polymers. Amorphous molecular structure gives polycarbonates a transparent property.
Applications of polycarbonates can be listed as;
Polycarbonate has chemical expression of (C3H6(C6H4)2CO3)n, n means that each monomer group in polycarbonates. The production process of polycarbonates is step polymerization. It has amorphous molecular structure which give transparency to polycarbonates. Polycarbonates has tensile strength around 65MPa and modulus elasticity of 2500 MPa. Polycarbonates has medium value of elasticity which elongates around 100% of its original shape. Complete melting temperature of polycarbonates around 230C and glass transition temperature around 150C.
All of these informations about polycarbonates can be very good summary. Do not forget to leave your comments and questions about polycarbonates and their applications and properties below. Your precious feedbacks are very important for us.
