absolute density See density.
absolute gravity See density.
accelerator A chemical substance that accelerates chemical,
photochemical, biochemical, etc. reaction or process, such as
crosslinking or degradation of polymers, that is triggered and/or
sustained by another substance, such as curing agent or catalyst,
or environmental factor, such as heat, radiation or a
microorganism. Also called promoter, cocatalyst.
acetal See acetal resin.
acetal resin Acetal resins are thermoplastics prepared either by
homopolymerization of formaldehyde or its trimer, trioxane, or by
copolymerization of trioxane with other monomers, such as
ethylene oxide. Acetals have high impact strength, stiffness, and
yield stress; low friction coefficient and gas and vapor
permeability; good dimensional stability and dielectric properties;
high fatigue strength; and good retention of properties at elevated
temperatures. The homopolymer has higher heat deflection
temperature but lower continuous use temperature than
copolymers. All acetals have poor resistance to acids and
homopolymers also show poor resistance to alkalies. Acetals are
subject to UV degradation, are flammable, and are difficult to
bond. Processed by injection and blow molding and extrusion.
Used in mechanical parts such as gears and bearings, automotive
parts such as window cranks and trim fasteners; appliances; pump
housings, shower heads, and other plumbing applications; and
electronics such as connectors. Also called POM,
polyoxymethylene, polyformaldehyde, acetal.
acetone A volatile, colorless, highly flammable liquid with
molecular formula CH3COCH3. Acetone has autoignition
temperature 537°C, mixes readily with water and some other
solvents and is moderately toxic. Acetone dissolves most
thermoplastics and some thermosets. Used as organic synthesis
intermediate, e.g., in the manufacture of bisphenol A and
antioxidants, as solvent in paints and acetate fiber spinning and
for cleaning of electronic parts. Also called dimethyl ketone.
acrylate resin See acrylic resin.
acrylate styrene acrylonitrile polymer Acrylic rubber-modified
thermoplastic having high outdoor weatherability, e.g., retention
of color, gloss, and impact and tensile properties. The material
offers high gloss, good heat and chemical resistance, great
toughness and rigidity, and very good antistatic properties. It is
compatible with other polymers such as PVC and polycarbonate
and processable by (co)extrusion, thermoforming, injection
molding, structural foam molding, and extrusion-blow molding.
Drying is necessary because the material is mildly hygroscopic.
Used in building and construction, leisure and recreation, and
automotive applications when there is a demand for good
weatherability, e.g., commercial siding, exterior auto trim, outdoor
furniture. Also called ASA, acrylonitrile styrene acrylate polymer,
acrylic styrene acrylonitrile polymer.
acrylate styrene acrylonitrile polymer polyvinyl chloride
alloy Thermoplastic alloy of an acrylate styrene acrylonitrile
polymer with polyvinyl chloride.
acrylic epoxy resin See vinyl ester resin.
acrylic ethylene rubber See ethylene acrylic rubber.
acrylic resin The class of thermoplastics comprised of
homopolymers and copolymers of alkyl (meth)acrylates. The most
common monomers used are methyl and ethyl (meth)acrylates; the
comonomers include other unsaturated monomers. The acrylic
resins offer excellent optical clarity, weatherability and resistance
to sunlight, outstanding surface hardness, good chemical
resistance, rigidity, good impact strength, excellent dimensional
stability, and low mold shrinkage. They have poor solvent
resistance, are subject to stress cracking, are combustible, and
have low flexibility and thermal stability. The acrylic resins can be
cast in sheets, rods, or tubing; extruded into sheets or profiles;
injection molded; thermoformed; and coated. The applications
include transparent items such as lenses, automotive trim,
household items, light fixtures, conformed coatings on printed
circuit boards, and medical devices. Also called polyacrylate,
acrylate resin.
acrylic resin polyvinyl chloride alloy A thermoplastic alloy of an
acrylic resin and polyvinyl chloride.
acrylic styrene acrylonitrile polymer See acrylate styrene
acrylonitrile polymer.
acrylonitrile butadiene rubber See nitrile rubber.
acrylonitrile butadiene styrene polymer ABS resins are
thermoplastics comprised of a mixture of styrene-acrylonitrile
copolymer (SAN) and SAN-grafted butadiene rubber. They have
high impact resistance, toughness, rigidity and processability, but
low dielectric strength, continuous service temperature, and
elongation. Outdoor use requires protective coatings in some
cases. Plating grades provide excellent adhesion to metals.
Processed by extrusion, blow molding, thermoforming,
calendaring and injection molding. Used in household appliances,
tools, nonfood packaging, business machinery, interior automotive
parts, extruded sheet, pipe and pipe fittings. Also called ABS.
acrylonitrile copolymer Acrylonitrile copolymers are
thermoplastics prepared by copolymerization of acrylonitrile with
minor amounts of other unsaturated monomers. The class of
acrylonitrile copolymers include ASA, ABS, SAN, and nitrile
resins. In a narrower sense the term acrylonitrile copolymers is
often used to denote (high) nitrile (barrier) resins. These resins
have good gas barrier properties, chemical resistance, and taste
and odor retention properties. These resins have moderately high
tensile properties and good impact properties when rubber
modified or oriented. Processed by extrusion, injection molding,
and thermoforming. Used mainly in food and nonfood packaging.
FDA approved for direct contact with food with some limitations.acrylonitrile methyl acrylate copolymer A thermoplastic
polymer of acrylonitrile and methyl acrylate.
acrylonitrile rubber See nitrile rubber.
acrylonitrile styrene acrylate polymer See acrylate styrene
acrylonitrile polymer.
activation energy An excess energy that must be added to an
atomic or molecular system to allow a process, such as diffusion
or chemical reaction, to proceed.
adherend A body held to another body, usually by an adhesive or
solvent. A part or detail being prepared for bonding.
adhesion promoter A coating applied to a substrate prior to
adhesive application, in order to improve adhesion of the material,
such as a plastic. Also called primer.
adhesive A material, usually polymeric, capable of forming
permanent or temporary surface bonds with another material as is
or after processing such as curing. Used for bonding and joining.
Many classes of adhesives include hot-melt, pressure-sensitive,
contact, UV cured, emulsion, etc.
adhesive abrasion In adhesive bonding, a surface preparation
technique in which the part surface is mechanically abraded in the
presence of liquid adhesive. Abraded, adhesive-coated adherends
are then mated, and adhesive is allowed to cure. It is speculated
that abrasion in the presence of adhesive creates free radicals that
react directly with the adhesive; when abrasion is performed in the
absence of adhesive, the generated free radicals are scavenged by
oxygen in air before adhesive is applied. Adhesive abrasion is
commonly used on fluorocarbons; bond strengths of Teflon
(PTFE) were increased about 700% using this technique.
adhesive bonding A method of joining two plastics or other
materials in which an adhesive is applied to the part surfaces.
Bonding occurs through mechanical or chemical interfacial forces
between the adhesive and adherend and / or by molecular
interlocking. Surface preparation of the adherends and curing of
the adhesive may be required.
adhesive failure Failure of an adhesive bond at the adhesiveadherend interface. An example is an adhesive failure that leaves
adhesive all on one adherend, with none on the other adherend.
Adhesive failure is less desirable than cohesive failure because it
is indicative of a joint with lower adhesive strength. See also
cohesive failure.
adiabatic A process in which there is no gain or loss of heat from the
system to the environment. For plastics, although not completely
correct, it is used to describe a mode of extrusion in which no
external heat is added to the extruder. Heat may be removed from
the extruder by cooling in order to keep the output temperature of
the melt passing through the extruder constant. Heat input in this
process originates from the conversion of mechanical energy of
the screw to thermal energy.
adipic acid hexanediamine polymer See nylon 66.
adsorption Retention of a substance molecule on the surface of a
solid or liquid. Also called physical adsorption.
advanced styrenic resin See styrenic resin.
alpha cellulose See cellulose.
amideimide resin See polyimide.
amorphous nylon Amorphous nylons are transparent products that
typically involve rings in copolymer chains. One amorphous
nylon involves 2,4,4- and 2,2,4-trimethylhexamethylene diamine
and terephthalic acid.
amplitude The maximum displacement of a particle measured from
its equilibrium position.
annealing A process in which a material, such as plastic, metal, or
glass, is heated then cooled slowly. In plastics and metals, it is
used to reduce stresses formed during fabrication. The plastic is
heated to a temperature at which the molecules have enough
mobility to allow them to reorient to a configuration with less
residual stress. Semicrystalline polymers are heated to a
temperature at which retarded crystallization or recrystallization
can occur.
antimony pentoxide (SbO5) A white or yellowish powder that
melts at 450°C (842°F). Loses oxygen above 300°C (572°F).
Soluble in strong bases, forming antimonates; slightly soluble in
water; insoluble in acids except for concentrated hydrochloric
acid. Derived by reaction of concentrated nitric acid with the
metal or trioxide. Used as a flame retardant for textiles and in the
preparation of antimonates and other antimony compounds. Also
called antimonic anhydride, antimonic acid, stibic anhydride.
antimony trioxide (Sb2O3) A white, odorless, crystalline powder
that melts at 655°C (1211°F). Soluble in concentrated
hydrochloric and sulfuric acids and strong bases; insoluble in
water. Amphoteric, a suspected carcinogen. Derived by reaction
of ammonium hydroxide with antimony chloride, combustion of
antimony in air, or directly from low-grade ores. Used in
flameproofing textiles, paper, and plastics, especially polyvinyl
chloride; glass decolorizer; paint pigments; staining of copper and
iron; opacifiying ceramics; and as a catalyst or intermediate in
organic reactions. Also called antimony white, antimony oxide.
aramid See polyarylamide.
aromatic ester carbonate See aromatic polyester estercarbonate.
aromatic polyamide See polyarylamide.
aromatic polyester Aromatic polyesters are thermoplastics
prepared by polycondensation of aromatic polyol with aromatic
dicarboxylic acid or anhydride or by polycondensation of aromatic
hydroxycarboxylic acid. They are tough, durable, heat resistant,
and offer good dimensional stability, dielectric properties, UVstability, and flame retardance. Chemical resistance of aromatic
polyesters is somewhat lower than other engineering plastics.
Processing is achieved by injection and blow molding, extrusion,
and thermoforming. Thorough drying is required. Uses include
automotive housings and trim, electrical wire jacketing, printed
circuit boards, appliance enclosures. Also called polyarylate,
ARP.

has increased heat distortion temperature, compared to generalpurpose polycarbonate. Also called polyestercarbonate, aromatic
polyestercarbonate, aromatic ester carbonate.
aromatic polyestercarbonate See aromatic polyester
estercarbonate.
ARP See aromatic polyester.
ASA See acrylate styrene acrylonitrile polymer.ASA PVC alloy Alloy of acrylic styrene acrylonitrile and polyvinyl
chloride.
aseptic In food processing, a process or condition that renders a
processed food product essentially free of microorganisms capable
of growing in the food in unrefrigerated distribution and storage
conditions. In aseptic food packaging, presterilized containers are
filled with aseptic foods, then hermetically sealed in a
commercially sterile atmosphere.
ASR See styrenic resin.
ASTM D1002 An American Society for Testing of Materials (ASTM)
standard practice for testing the shear strength of rigid sheet
material by tensile loading. Two sections of a rigid sheet material,
usually 4 in. in length x 1 in. in width x 0.064 in. in thickness
(101.6 x 25 x 1.62 mm) and having suitably treated surfaces, are
overlapped 0.5 in. (12.7 mm) and adhesively bonded together in a
0.5 square inch contact area (323 mm2). Both ends are then
clamped firmly into the jaws of a tensile testing machine, and the
the jaws are moved apart at a speed of 0.05 in./min. (1.3
mm/min.) until joint failure occurs. The failing load, in psi (MPa)
and mode of failure (adhesive, cohesive, or mixed) is reported.
This is the most commonly used shear test for metal-to-metal
structural adhesives. Although it is useful for quality control and
comparing different adhesives, failure strength values are not
useful for engineering design due to the complex stress
distribution pattern in the adhesive with this joint configuration.
Also called the lap shear test. Also called lap shear test.
ASTM D1761 An American Society for Testing of Materials (ASTM)
standard practice for testing the strength and performance of
mechanical fasteners in wood. Withdrawal resistance of wood to
nails, staples, and screws is measured by recording the maximum
load of fasteners withdrawn at a uniform rate of speed by a testing
machine. Resistance of nails, staples, and screws to lateral
movement is tested by tensile loading. Strength and rigidity of
timber joints fastened with bolts or other metal connectors is
tested by measuring the deformation of the joint at various
intervals of loading. Vertical load capacity and torsional moment
capacity of joist hangers is tested by measuring the amount of slip
under load.
ASTM D4501 An American Society for Testing of Materials (ASTM)
standard practice for determining the shear strengths of adhesives
used to bond rigid materials by the block shear method.
Adhesively bonded blocks, plates, or disks, with flash and fillets
removed on the loaded side, are mounted into the shear fixture of
a testing machine (capacity not less than 44 kN (10,000lbf)). Test
specimens can be any size within the limits of the shearing fixture
capacity. The shear fixture is mounted into the testing machine in
such a way that one adherend is engaged by the holding block and
the other by the shearing tool. A crosshead speed of 1.26
mm/min. (0.05 in./min.) is used for testing. The maximum forces
sustained by the specimen is recorded. This test is particularly
applicable for testing bonds between ceramic, glass, magnet
moldings, and plastic parts with one flat face in which machining
is difficult or impractical.

carbon black Carbon black is a black colloidal carbon filler made
by the partial combustion and/or thermal cracking of natural gas,
oil, or another hydrocarbon. Depending upon the starting material
and the method of manufacture, carbon black can be called
acethylene black, channel black, furnace black, etc. For example,
channel black is made by impinging gas flames against steel plates
or channel irons, from which the deposit is scraped at intervals.
The properties and the uses of each carbon black type can also
vary. Thus, furnace black comes in high abrasion, fast extrusion,
high modulus, general purpose, and semireinforcing grades among
others. Carbon black is widely used as a filler and pigment in
PVC, phenolic resins, and polyolefins. It increases the resistance
to UV light and electrical conductivity and sometimes acts as a
crosslinking agent. Also called colloidal carbon.
carbon fiber Carbon fibers are high-performance reinforcement
consisting essentially of carbon. They are made by a variety of
methods including pyrolysis of cellulosic (e.g., rayon) and acrylic
fibers, burning-off binder from a pitch precursor, and growing
single crystals (whiskers) via thermal cracking of hydrocarbon
gas. The properties of carbon fibers depend on the morphology of
carbon in them and are the highest for crystalline carbon
(graphite). These properties include high modulus and tensile
strength, high thermal stability, electrical conductivity, chemical
resistance, wear resistance, and relatively low weight. Used as
continuous or short fibers and in mats in autoclave and die
molding, filament winding, injection molding, and pultrusion.
Carbon fibers are used at a loading levels of 20-60 vol% or more
in both thermosets and thermoplastics such as epoxy resins and
ABS. Carbon fibers are often used in combination with other
fibers such as glass fibers to make hybrid composites. The end
products containing carbon fibers include wheel chairs, tennis
