The term 'plastics' describes a wide range of synthetic, or mostly synthetic, solid materials with high molecular mass
that can be shaped, molded or otherwise given form while soft and then hardened. While technically polymers in nature, plastics
typically contain other substances, also known as additives, that improve material performance, reduce manufacturing costs, etc.
|
The term 'polymer' refers to a large molecule, or macromolecule, made up of repeating structural
units usually connected by covalent chemical bonds. While many people use the word polymers when
referring to plastics, the polymer family actually includes many natural and synthetic materials
with properties typically associated with plastics. As an example, DNA and rubber both have status as polymers, but not a plastics.
