Identify and categorize thermoforming polymers, including acrylic (PMMA), high impact polystyrene (HIPS), high density polythene (HDPE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
Identify and categorize thermosetting polymers, including epoxy resin (ER), melamine-formaldehyde (MF), phenol formaldehyde (PF), polyester resin (PR), and urea-formaldehyde (UF).
Classify different polymers based on their physical properties and thermal behavior.
Apply knowledge of polymer properties to justify their use in various design and manufacturing contexts.
