CLASSIFICATION
OF POLYMERS

FIBERS: they are produced when a multimeter is melted and it


passes through small holes.
ACCORDING TO YOUR APPLICATIONS ADHESIVES: they are combinations of high cohesion and
adhesion that allow joining two or more bodies.
COATING: they are liquid substances that are added to
surfaces to generate resistance and abrasion.
PLASTIC: they are those polymers that with enough effort
cannot return to their original shape.

ELASTOMERS: they deform with increasing temperature,


recovering their original shape.
ACCORDING TO THEIR BEHAVIOR THERMAL STABLE: when they rise, their T ° decomposes
chemically, they do not deform.
THERMOPLASTICS: when the T ° is raised, they melt and
