                                o These blends are produced based on


                                       existing polymers with well-known


                                       properties, and their development is less


                                       costly and more reliable than



                                       synthesising a new single polymer for a


                                       specific application. For example,


                                       elastomers (a highly deformable type of


                                       polymer) are often blended with other


                                       plastics to improve the material's impact


                                       strength.
