    Effects of Silicone Additives on Properties of Processing and Surface Quality Thermoplastics

    A thermoplastic s a type of plastic made from polymer resins that becomes a homogenized liquid when heated and hard when cooled. When frozen, however, a thermoplastic becomes glass-like and subject to fracture. These characteristics, which lend the material its name, are reversible. That is, it c...
