A characteristic of a material, such as flexibility, toughness, heat resistance or electrical conductivity.
Revise: Uses of PolymersManufacturers therefore choose a polymer by matching its properties to the demands of a particular use.
For an ‘explain’ question, link each use to a relevant property with a complete chain: property → why it matters → use.
Do not simply list a property and an unrelated use. For example, PTFE is used to coat non-stick pans because it is non-stick, heat-resistant and chemically unreactive.
