Principle
A characteristic feature of plastic materials is their meltability. Plastics can be differentiated by the degree of fusibility. In general, all plastic samples can be used for this experiment. Particularly suitable are the plastic samples named earlier, taken from the provided sample set, since hereby both fusible (thermoplastics) and non-fusible (thermoplastics) can be used.
Learning objectives
- Plastics are deformable, when they are heated
Benefits
- Easy teaching and efficient learning by using interactive experimentation PHYWE-Software
- Experiment is part of a complete solution set with experiments for the topic Chemistry of Polymers matched with international curriculum: all topics are covered
