plástico

Also known as plastics

material orgânico polimérico sintético

AI overview

Plastics are synthetic or semisynthetic materials made primarily of polymers that can be shaped into many different forms, making them useful for countless products. They are widely used globally because they are lightweight, durable, flexible, resistant to chemicals, and inexpensive to produce, though most are currently made from natural gas and petroleum.

Em química e tecnologia, os plásticos são materiais orgânicos poliméricos sintéticos, de constituição macromolecular, dotada de grande maleabilidade (que apresentam a propriedade de adaptar-se em distintas formas), facilmente transformável mediante o emprego de calor e pressão e que serve de matéria-prima para a fabricação dos mais variados objetos: vasos, sacolas, toalhas, embalagens, cortinas, bijuterias, carrocerias, roupas, canudos, sapatos e etc. A matéria-prima dos plásticos, geralmente, é o petróleo. Este é formado por uma complexa mistura de compostos. Pelo fato de estes compostos possuírem diferentes temperaturas de ebulição, é possível separá-los através de um processo conhecido como destilação ou craqueamento. A fração nafta é fornecida para as centrais químicas e petroquímicas, onde passa por uma série de processos, dando origem aos principais monômeros, como, por exemplo, a creolina. São divididos em dois grupos de acordo com as suas características de fusão ou derretimento: termoplásticos e termorrígidos.
