Polymeric Materials
                                Characteristics:









                                6. Thermoplastic polymers, in which the


                                        long molecular chains are not rigidly


                                        connected, have good ductility and


                                        formability.



                                7. Thermosetting polymers are stronger but


                                        more brittle because the molecular chains


                                        are tightly linked.
