Properties Polymeric material

High strength or modulus to weight ratios (lightweight yet relatively stiff and strong), toughness, resilience, resistance to corrosion, lack of conductivity (heat and electrical), color, transparency, processing, and low cost are a few advantageous characteristics of numerous engineering polymers. In reality, a large portion of polymers' beneficial traits are specific to them and result from their long chain molecular structure.
