2.7 Classification by application
Plastics
Polypropylene
Poly(vinyl chloride)
Polyethylene
Polystyrene
Fibres
poly(ethylene terephthalate) - polyester fibre
Polyacrylonitrile - acrylic fibre
poly(hexamethylene adipamide) Nylon 6.6
Nylon x: amino acid residue with x C-atoms
poly(ε-caprolactam) Nylon 6
Nylon y.z: diamine residue with y C-atoms alternates with dicarboxylic acid residue with z C-atoms
Elastomers / rubbers
Styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) - for tyres and general purposes
Poly(cis-1,4-butadiene) - for tyre treads
Poly(cis-1,4-isoprene) - general purpose rubber
Thermoplastic elastomers
physical crosslinking occurs by association of stiff blocks, resulting a small domains with high softening temp.
example: SBS-rubber
permits recyling as the domain of polystyrene blocks can easily be dissociated by heating
Coatings & Adhesives
Poly(vinyl acetate)
(PVAC)
Epoxy resin
Poly(methyl methacrylate)
(PMMA)
