Semi-Crystalline vs. Amorphous Resins | Polymeric Materials Series

Do you wonder why some plastic parts melt when heated, while others don’t? Or why some plastics dissolve in acetone, while nail polish remover bottles aren’t affected by it?  This series will explain why polymeric materials can exhibit a wide range of properties, and show the pros and cons of each material type.

In this video, you will learn how semi-crystalline resins, which are characterized by ordered arrangement of polymer chains, differ from amorphous resins, which are characterized by random entanglement of polymer chains.
